Blackpool Group Dance - Strictly Come Dancing 2016: Week 9

[@tracey-annwisdom2874]

Fabulous!! Look at Danny kicking it with the pro lads and fitting right in, though. Brilliant!

[@chiccoca563]

+ Tracey-Ann Wisdom - Can't distinguish him from the pro's can you! I love this number, just brilliant! Go on my son!

[@scattygirl1]

LOVED this: the Art Deco dresses, the top hat & tails, the music, the fact it was a ballroom number, Nat charisma-bashing everyone else out of the room, and just the choreography in general. It was also one of the least effed-up routines by camera work (unlike Louise, Greg & Claudia's).

[@gwenrichardson]

phoebephoebo .sydney Good dancing

[@KMB___]

Nice if they went back to great routines like this.

[@aerialkate]

I really loved this group dance. I thought it was just beautiful.

[@themripley]

Hilarious they went straight to Ed literally sitting on a chair to Danny leading the procession of professionals and fitting right in. Gorgeous dance. And how good were the singers?

[@ellapeebles1783]

This was probably the best group dance of series 14! Absolutely loved it!!!

[@louiseodonoghue7816]

this group dance was fabulous

[@ellenatkinson6912]

Just when you think Strictly couldn't get any better......💖

[@legaleagle46]

Wow. I actually got goosebumps watching this. Come on, DWTS -- give us some routines like this at least once in while. Constantly oversexed and overdone Latin/borderline Contemporary numbers are NOT representative of the entire spectrum of dance. Give us some show-stopping Ballroom numbers for a change!

[@Ifeelpretty21]

I agree! The only group number I've enjoyed this season was the waltz to Titanic, absolutely beautiful.

[@pauletteb.9652]

I truly enjoyed this. Lovely, stylish and elegant. This showcased smooth dance skills.

[@DianeBanks1]

Wow. What a gorgeous opening number!! I'd have loved to see it live!! ;)

[@Banburian1]

This is one of the best routines that has been on Strictly. The men in top hat and tails, and the girls in beautiful dresses. What's not to like? I wish there were more group routines like this instead of the strange ones which have been on lately.

[@Laura_Norda]

They've actually done a group dance to this song twice, but I think this is the better of the two :) Not that the other one is bad - not by any means!!!!! :D

[@ZCarsMuppets]

I have to agree, we only got 1 ballroom number this season, all the rest has been them prancing around doing some strange love story and no actual traditional dancing.

[@douglasholt8353]

Fabulous I did like all the dancer they was brilliant Danny kicking he was brill.

[@bexstar14rf]

Love how Judge Rinder enters 😁

[@jamsdodger8970]

How I agree. A Star on a star.

[@masaoaoyagi658]

bexstar14 Broadway musical

[@westlifefan123]

Loved Greg in this group dance :)

[@bethanjay]

Goosebumps!

[@AyeshaShaSha]

Can't believe I forgot about this dance! One of my FAVOURITE SONGS! This was SPLENDID!!

[@TheSpiderProvider07]

One of my fave group dances tbh❤️❤️

[@andrewvalkenburg]

Amazing choreo! 😮

[@hogwartsxlovely4046]

Danny literally looks like a pro in that bit

[@donna1420]

fabulous darling

[@flowerchild8920]

I dont know if it was a coincidence or not, but Natalie was the first pro dancer to come on, and Greg was the first celebrity to appear in this dance, and they are partnered together

[@Banburian1]

I wish they would have more group dances similar to this, rather than the weird ones they have been having lately! Lovely dresses on the girls and the men looked very smart.

[@scdobserver835]

Damn! I didn't know the celebs joined the pros in this number! They all look fabulous! Danny, in particular, looks like one of the pros... Edit: the group sequence from 2:46 reminds me of the old Come Dancing programme. LOL

[@aerialkate]

I remember the old 'Come Dancing' too. Particularly the formation dances. The women always decked out in shocking pink or orange (what looked like) crinoline type dresses. When I was a kid watching it with my Nana I thought "Why do the women always look so old fashioned?" Presentation and costumes have come a long way since then.

[@scdobserver835]

aerialkate Yeah, Vikki definitely did a great job with the costumes!

[@scattygirl1]

SOOOOO much better than a dance about a pinball machine.

[@ignaciosalvadorarrietakoro9773]

Me gusta mucho el video. Muchas gracias

[@fashionista75]

Awesome

[@jimmbboe]

Awesome!

[@sophiedenney8098]

Natalie Lowe in this ♥♥♥

[@scattygirl1]

Jeez- the one time an overhead camera shot would've made perfect artistic sense- at the Busby Berkeley moment at 2:05- and they don't do it. They blart it out all over the place at other useless moments, but not at the crucial one. It's almost as if the people in charge of such things are only literate in showing what cameras can do, rather than what dancers can do...

[@hernandezrivas]

SCD BEST SHOW ON TELEVISON!!!

[@topcatrox]

What a beautiful opening to the show. Shame it went all downhill from there... *insert nail painting emoji here*

[@oliwilliamson8431]

Watching this live 😁

[@eveisnotaneevee]

Yeah same

[@eveisnotaneevee]

Well I was

[@michaelgabrielraphael9554]

OHHHHHHKAY, where are you "CAL"....I made a comment about a dance last week and you mentioned our DWTS in Hollywood California is more "Show Bizzy" than dancing....HAHAHA...this weeks group dance made me laugh and think of you!! Looks a little "Show Bizzy" in Blackpool too love! Come on...admit it, you LOVE the Glitz and Glam on the other side of the pond too! Right on!! :)

[@aerialkate]

Many of the most celebrated routines and touches in "Strictly" ultimately derive from either Hollywood or Broadway. So any dancing show owes an awful lot to America, in truth. There's too much rabid patriotism going on over the internet. Having said that, apart from odd moments of brilliance like Nicole Scherzinger's AT I _do_ prefer 'Strictly'.

[@ameliewebb5247]

Hi Strictly Come Dancing 2016

[@rachelstanford1589]

Thought this was a fabulous way to involve the celebs

[@benroberts8949]

My nan has danced with all the strictly dancers and I don't now how to

[@lauravision2791]

I swear the dresses the girls are wearing is the same dress Oksana wore in her quickstep?

[@jamielambert6075]

Laura Dixon It's the same Crystal pattern.

[@topcatrox]

They've been recycling the dresses something fierce this year. Joanne has had two of her dresses recycled from BBC Proms (waltz and her salsa dress). I swear the costume budget gets cut every year.

[@lauravision2791]

Ah yes I thought I recognised Joanne's salsa dress as well!

[@jamielambert6075]

topcatrox katya wore Joanne's tango dress as her signature dress didn't she? I wouldn't say it's the budget, more volume and pressure they're under to impress , and it's understanble if it is the budget, there's a lot more to take into considetation nowadays!!

[@topcatrox]

Mary Yeah, maybe! Although, if you compare how the dresses looked on a regular basis just 5 years ago to now, they've lost a lot of volume in the ballroom dances, and the bedazzlement is less and less than it used to be as well. The trouser tailoring is so tight as well, I'm surprised there's only been a couple of accidents of seems splitting mid dance in Kev and Brendan. Especially more noticeable when the amount of celebrities is less than usually so at this point in recent years. I do remember the previous costume designer said they struggled with budget constraints towards the end of their tenure with the show. I commend their work and the work they produce, but I've noticed more recycling than ever.

[@giuseppea.6225]

👌👌👌👏👏👏

[@waackerfoxy-dalatcity-viet2480]

Song please

[@pandorazbox9659]

I swear, you cannot distinguish between Danny and the pros. Criminal he didnt win

[@ellapeebles1783]

If you want the quality to look amazing, put it to 720fps

[@ricardobezerra2712]

Why was Giovanni dancing by himself at the end?

[@danutaszymankiewicz2307]

What’s the name of the song?

[@scattygirl1]

It's just called "One (Singular Sensation)". From A Chorus Line.

[@super-flyagility3442]

Why is Giovanni dancing on his own in this? Did they run out of girls?

[@lucycartwright2428]

Super-Fly Agility chloe, one of the professionals who doesn't have a partner this year, wasn't in this pro dance nor the Sunday night one, Aj was dancing on his own in that one as well. She was at Blackpool so I'm guessing she got injured or was unwell so she couldn't perform? I would have thought though that one of the extras would have danced with the odd one out

[@readkristina11]

By get doble

[@TonyHunterMusic]

M

[@theo2047]

I thought this dance was a bit over hyped and wasn't actually the best (apart from when Judge Finder came on👌👍). There was a big build up for it on It Takes Two but the finished product didn't live up to my great expectations. Like if yo felt the same...

[@sianbennett-rodgers]

Let's do A Chorus Line without the kick line. Nope. Don't.

[@rosesmith1311]

I. Am. Taking. About. Would War. 2

[@jackiejo3812]

Sad reminder of how samey and ungainly the group dances have become.

[@bethanjay]

Goosebumps!!
