Danny Mac & Oti Mabuse Samba to ‘Magalenha’ by Sergio Mendes - Strictly Come Dancing 2016: Week 10

I stopped watching Strictly after this series finished. I know I've not seen much of it except by chance but I don't believe anything could match these two. Better than a professional pairing could have done imo. Still get shivers down my backbone watching this.

[@teleopinions1367]

For the UK, that was a very routine and Danny did a great job considering that he had to learn that in about a week. But, one of my favorite one's was William Levy's kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZprHZJyhd8SobcUsi=s4MpsOfrIqxci7Ur And, this is how samba is danced in Latin America. It is very rhythmic, it has flow, and it doesn't look forced. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jpealql3atiCbassi=eLOTTf3RqdXh7w7R Saludos.

To score a perfect 40 in a samba routine is an incredible job well done and fully deserved. Completely captured the essence of the samba and its origins. The line between the professional and celebrity is completely non existent. They compliment each other so well. He takes the lead and looks like he is loving every second. Fantastic.

YouGlowing its Brazillian influence,the songs a well know Portugese Brazillian song,theyre dancing brazillian samba but i could see why it is similar to african influence with the colourful beading on the dress and the patterns on it. Maybe a mix of african and brazillian influence haha

[@DaytonaHills]

smells s Brazilian culture came significantly from Africa so Africa is correct

[@MysteriousStranger08]

No it's not African though and throughout time Brazil completely changed and is far different than Africa in terms of culture. Plus, Africa is a continent in which every country has a different culture so you'll have to specify which country in particular.

[@AbiSaysThings]

+smells s Most Latin music has strong African roots and this dance was clearly emphasising that fact. Pretty sure they know it's a Brazilian dance...

And Danny nailed them!! Shoot, I can't even think of the male pros throwing so many moves at their partners in the samba. My word, my sentence, my paragraph! Otlile Mabuse, ma'am! You are a goddess and a queen! THAT WAS HOTTTTTTT!!!!!

[@tracey-annwisdom2874]

I'm still blown away by just how technical it was, and how well Danny nailed it. I've heard pros on DWTS say samba is the hardest to learn for the celebs, and the hardest for them to teach, because of the bounce action. Which is why I think so many sambas fall flat, because they just throw a few promenades and batucadas in, then cover everything with booty shaking. Oti made Danny WORK.

[@leahcartwright3360]

Tracey-Ann Wisdom Well, He did get 40 and that's probably why it got loads of views, they usually get about 100 or so views by Sunday

[@scdobserver835]

OH.MY.GOODNESS! I have to rewatch this routine after it finishes because I was glued to Oti from the first viewing. That tribal African dance, this is Samba back to its genesis! I mean, Danny's hip action is DANGEROUS. That 'African walk' he did!!! This is Mark Ramprakash + Matt Baker in steroids to be sure! I like that slo-mo Samba moves in the beginning and then two different rolls, voltas, bounce, promenades etc. etc. etc. It's a Samba masterclass! If there is eleven I would have given them! 10!

[@scdobserver835]

I knew it would be amazing from his training clips, but I didn't know he could do THAT!

[@dajtoad1]

I was looking forward to this one - I had been impressed by training clips and Oti's concept sounded really good. But wow - this is the first Doti dance I have been completely on board with. I loved his QS but slight Tom Chambers vibe at the beginning irritated me just a little. Charleston last week had mistakes. AT was brilliant but I didn't feel it. But this I enjoyed completely. Also helped by brilliant music. Well deserved perfect 40.

[@scdobserver835]

iluvsoulmusic I recalled in his QS week I was expecting Danny to eventually get tens thrown at him from the judges, and I won't be surprised if he scored a perfect forty from the judges again this week!

[@scdobserver835]

[@tracey-annwisdom2874]

Oti was on another level this week. You could see that this one is her baby. I'm blown away by all the technical moves in this samba. They weren't just shaking their butts and bouncing around out there. She made Danny WORK. As you said, those hips were dangerous. Lol! A samba masterclass indeed.

[@chrissiem3958]

This is honest to God one of the best dances I've seen on Strictly. Oti and Danny were so in sync, and so free yet sure of their moves, its like they actually spontaneously broke into dance and this was the result. Oti is a f*cking brilliant choreographer.

Watching danny dance has been an absolute joy. By far the best dancing ever seen on the show. Danny not only comes across as a talented person but also really warm, sweet, kind and very genuine. Oti really pushed him with some tough routines and it's clear both of them never took the easy route or just settled. They put so much hard work and created some unique unforgettable routines which are on a whole different level to anything else we've seen on any series in strictly. Oti has created the best choreography ever to be seen on strictly and honestly no one other then danny could of pulled that off. Its been so refreshing watching otis routines.. they are intense and fiery and classy and just so fresh and different to anyone else. She is by far the best choreographer. To me danny is the winner of this show.. he's given it something no one else ever has.. he's raised the bar so high and pushed himself to limits I haven't seen anyone else be able to. Stunning routines. Stunning dancing. Stunning partnership. It's been clear as day and has been since day 1 how much he's pushed himself and how talented he is and what a nice guy he is. I really wish my votes had been enough to make him the winner. But regardless of the outcome... he is the real winner. We will never forget any of those beautiful dances. Sending lots of love and also thanks. I have completely been blown away and fallen totally in love with all of Danny's and otis performances

Especially this samba. Explosive. I will always remember this dance.

[@emilierapportmunro7595]

Possibly the best dance I've ever seen on Strictly...he is a GOD.

[@jelaboothe2363]

Well, he'd hav t be cos he's with the GODDESS, that is, OTI,

[@helenanalis6308]

Always come back to watch this dance after a samba on strictly. There will never be a better one than this

[@chrisdraw-ster6146]

I'm struggling to think what dance Danny and Oti would like to do again in the final because this is another perfect performance. I believe he will win this competition easily!

[@debsterds6728]

One of the best ever Strictly dances!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@dtoudassous]

Oti does not mess about. Her routines are a massive part of why I still watch the show.

[@otislegs2132]

BEST DANCE I HAVE EVER SEEN ON STRICTLY

[@vTILLv]

Wow wow wow!!! The best samba I have EVER seen. Wonderful loved every minute.

[@lincolnbeckett8791]

Absolutely phenomenal. This performance alone made me want them to win this show. Pure talent with a decent body to go with too.

[@BB_arbie]

Wow, that was amazing its been watched thirty times already.

[@michellejames2903]

Wow you guys are my favourite you dance amazing ! 40 ! 😊

[@YKKY]

Oti doesn't dance... Oti is the dance! Damn that woman is amazing!

[@cristinainacio6598]

THIS IS THE BEST DANCE EVER ON STRICTLY!! A classic Sergio Mendes song, superlative choreography by Oti, costume....phenomenal 😍😍

[@solfamilyj]

Queen Oti, reigns supreme with Bill Bailey 2020. We will never forget, she should of won with Danny. She has now won 4 dancing competitions in the trot. Long live the Queen 💕

[@nailahcarr700]

WOW! What a Samba!! Danny give up acting and be a dancer please! You have to win this!! That absolutely blew me away....his hips 😍 Oti, Oti, Oti, darling (in Craig's voice) you are FANTASTIC! The judges may not praise you as you deserve to be, but we salute you! Best danced Samba on strictly, beautiful choreography every single week, Best couple, best celeb dancer for sure! Craig, Darsey, Len and Bruno shame on you for not praising this beautiful talented lady!!! 😡😡😡😡 but thanks for the 10s 😊

[@jennym777luna]

Honestly, I think Oti is one of the best professionals!

[@matthewdonovan1240]

I can't get over how amazing this routine is. Danny is amazing and nails the routines week after week. Mix in Oti's fantastic choreography and you definitely have a winning combination. I thought last week's routine was fabulous, but this just topped it. If they could score over 40 this deserved it. No doubt in my mind Danny and Oti have to win.

[@Ann-my1dg]

Still watching it over and over again 3years later, saddo that I am :) Never tire of it.

[@luwamalem3330]

I miss these two!! They are perfect together!! I could watch them dance all day!!

[@Tan87ful]

Agreed :)

[@janysmahoney5710]

Their proffessional chemistry was electrifying an very sensuous . They understood their roles an executed each routine perfectly. Danny was Gene Kelly.He reborn. .

[@hviezdickablyskava637]

Oti for president! She is incredible. Cant stop watching week after week. With Danny they just clicked. I though last year with Jay and Aliona was the peak of SCD. Apart it wasn't. Oti and Dany are the best ones!

[@hardevkaur773]

This dance is better than previous show dances. Danny and Oti have got to win! He is in a league of his own and I have loved them from the start. Possibly one of my all time favourite contestants along with Jay, Alesha, Natalie, Denise and Kara.

[@CrazySince]

This was the best dance EVER on Strictly .. Oti - you've really shone this year, well bloody DONE! Danny - YOU deserve to win, sir!! Oti must be an amazing teacher to have dancing standards at 10/10! ...... winner!!!!!!!!!! (NO TO ED BALLS)

[@HassanKhan-yh9qu]

CrazySince check this guy out his name is Abdur-Rehman HD and hes giving away 2 iphone 5s and i just want you to take a bit of ur time to just check his giveaway video and check if hes lying and it does sound like im promoting but im not really tryin so have time to check this guy channel

[@janmaciejewski6129]

This was a stunning dance and I despise Danny as I always think he was overmarked but this WAS perfect. Only dance I think could have been better was Jason Donovan's Argentine Tango, but comparing dancing of different genre's is something I daren't do. But this was definitely the best Samba in Srictly history...

[@deltafay1981]

+ Suspicious Winmills Certain contestants have annoyed me from time to time (as well as some of the judges) but it's worrying when an entertainment show leads you to 'despise' somebody. it aint worth carrying around negative energy..trust me. Real life will come knoocking with plenty of challenges -save your energy for that!

[@janmaciejewski6129]

delta fay I don't know why I don't like Danny tbh - there's nothing wrong with him per say but there's just something about him which I hate but I don't know what it is but it realy bugs me

[@deltafay1981]

+ Suspicious Windmils C'est la vie!. I sincerely hope you will enjoy watching the Semi Final, it should be exciting. Either one of us could be in tears come Sunday results show (we both seem to be rooting for different contestants) -so just enjoy the dancing i say!. Take care !

[@TheElissdeja]

Oti is just too gorgeous for words!

[@monett2554]

Good for Oti. All that fuss with her being one of the professional dancers and shes showed them. Good on you!! Danny's amazing no doubt! x

[@NDMeow93]

What was the fuss?? :o

[@Ifeelpretty21]

Monét The Simmer What fuss? I'm not from the UK so I don't know.

[@deborahbell-theobservantch3759]

Every year I rewatch these two...just phenomenal they were...
