Gloria Estefan and the Strictly pro dancers - BBC Strictly 2018

[@viviano07-j9o]

The couple in gold are 'Karen y Ricardo'! 9x World Salsa Champions!! Watch their World of Dance routines.. it'll blow your mind!!

[@lesscudamore9138]

IKR!! They are mind bogglingly good

[@valerieselau7384]

What a awesome accomplishment with these pro dancers and the celebs alongside with these guys from 'World of Dance' .. and of course, Gloria! 😊

[@luisvelasco409]

Why they don't teach the pros more of the salsa in a more Latin way that is awesome

[@martinhawkins5506]

Fantastic that Gloria sang live with the band, the only star to do it, usually mime or sing to a backing track, still a star Gloria

[@catienagel2279]

YES JEANETTE!!! That lady is a QUEEN. Most incredible opener, made me cry my eyes out it was so good. 😭😭😭😭 Best series of Strictly so far, the standard has been amazing and I'm LOVING seeing new dance styles from the couples choice. Thank you BBC for giving us such joy in these strange and uncertain times. xxxxxxxxx

[@biteback8034]

Janette is Queen . x

[@zaragardner1282]

She my favourite

[@ellamarie7996]

Absolutely loved this routine and the incorporation of the celebs into the dance was so good!!!

[@krystynaszydowska6799]

No

[@ratbat3811]

Krystyna Szydłowska what do you mean no

[@veronicageorge3825]

@@ratbat3811 Well, the celebs didn't really do that much dancing.

[@biteback8034]

My fave part @ 0:44 - those Batucadas during the intro on stage. loved it. High Energy Megamix from Gloria.x

[@NayomieK]

1:54 *SHOW EVERYBODY HOW IT'S DONE JOHANNES!!!* 😍😍

[@angelmax5593]

WOW!!!!!!!!! Absolutely wonderful performance by the one and only Gloria Estefan and the dancers. Well done!

[@legaleagle46]

Can you believe that Gloria Estefan is 61 now? Yet she can still sing and move as though she were decades younger. You go, Gloria!

[@chunkyhoey8649]

Praise her the Latino queen!!🙏🙌💃

[@dorindatodd123]

Shirley Ballas I'd 61 and she can still dance at competition standard. On KZbin there are people in the 80 s& 90s dancing swing/jive. If your able to sing dance or anything else you want to do age doesn't matter

[@vinnievincooper5778]

Yeah, she still looks great, she is stil vital and energetic! :))

[@ribena607]

Love this. There's so many of them it almost seems like there's not enough room for all of them to dance though! lol. That ending from the pro salsa dancers was amazing though; where he kept spinning her and she kept getting lower and lower.

[@lesscudamore9138]

IKR!! Incredible dancers 👌

[@joroy123]

oti is just fire .....love her

[@lesscudamore9138]

& with those gorgeous long legs of hers, she really kicks ass in the batacudas move!!! 👌🔥

[@Tupunaforever]

She's still got it, god bless her, that was amazing, I counted 32 dancers bravo bravo, you guys rocked with the best and nailed it. And the theater, it looked stunning.

[@raquelf.1962]

This was awesome. Gloria sounded great and the couple at the end are amazing!

[@OMGIGILY]

OH MY GOD THIS PERFORMANCE WAS *RIDICULOUS* THE DANCERS IN GOLD JUST BLEW MY MIND AND ALSO I CANT BELIEVE ITS GLORIA STEFAN THIS IS AMAZING

[@sveltin1975]

This was great to see Gloria Estefan again! At least she sings great live. Most artist these days use auto tune and there is nothing left when it is not used. Or those fragille voices these days. Gloria has a voice and stands solid! Very reconizable while uuuuh most artist these days sounds kind of the same! I looooooooove Gloria Estefan. A legend!

[@hollyfegan8986]

This was amazing! Gloria and all of the other gorgeous dancers were fabulous of course; not to mention the stunning costumes! however, oh, my stars the dancers in the gold costumes stole the show! They are PHENOMEAL!

[@tmiho6546]

Oh my gosh world of dance stars is here ‼️💃🙌

[@ClaudineiOliveiraOficial]

Gloria is so perfect!!!!!! 😍👑❤🎶

[@sebetc7]

Glorious Gloria

[@AngelElkvi]

I'm so happy to see that Katya and Neil are dancing together again!

[@isabellealice4984]

[@duckie9395]

IsabelleAlice so am I in movie week in the group dance they we're dancing together

[@lilsmay142]

IsabelleAlice no joe and dianne all the way

[@isabellealice4984]

Lilsmay 14 i mean for the pro group dancers!! i love them but aj and dianne are perfect for being pro partners

[@niltonperez3199]

Gloria eres sencillamente una gran MUJER... Te amamos desde tu tierra...

[@zoelundy5561]

I loved Blackpool so much but can we just talk about how Johannes was just living his best life at Blackpool!!

[@anonymouspeacefulperson6199]

Love the dancers in gold! Reminds me of my cousin katrina doing a teapot then a hip lift! whilst ice skating! Wonderful 👏🏻👍🏻

[@viviano07-j9o]

They're called Karen and Ricardo! Watch their World of Dance routines.. They're spectacular!

[@spanglysteve]

I really miss The Blackpool show and the pure energy from a packed crowd and huge number of dancers. Hopefully next year Covid restrictions will have fully eased and we can have this kind of electric atmosphere again.

[@Leishafan1985]

Grew up listening to Gloria Estefan and Miami Sound Machine because of my dad and still love her to this day xx she’s amazing at any age xx but Janette eats this dance up I couldn’t watch anyone else xx gutted she left being a pro on the show she was my fave pro of all time xx still is

[@luisvelasco409]

This is for me the best dance pro with the queen of Gloria Estefan

[@dorindatodd123]

Just look at Giovanni his face is a picture, he can't quite believe he's dancing so close to Gloria Esterfan. Giovanni is wonderful.

[@Jac-Jay]

Iv watched strictly since day one and this is the best ever opening for me..Johannes is on fire,amazing dancer,hopefully we see him with a partner next year.

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

+JJ Johannes has had 4 celebs dancing with him. Catherine Tyldsley in 2019. Caroline Quentin in 2020. John Whaite in 2021. And Ellie Taylor 2022

[@DistantCousin]

The Miami Hit Mix! Top Ten hit in December 1992!!

[@nieladrew]

Gloria sounded great!

[@charlottebird1824]

I still think this is the best strictly pro dancer EVER by a country mile. Gutted it hasn't gone viral!

[@inprogress7635]

Love that Neil got so much camera time here, he deserves it- such a great dancer

[@esmev.7093]

Gloria ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@hugohackenbush3524]

Blessed to have toured with Gloria and the Miami Sound Machine back in the day. Some people forget the horrendous accident she experienced in 1990 and that doctors had told her she'd never walk again. She is amazing.

[@dianadobson2154]

Love Gloria.😊❤❤🌹❤

[@davidmiller4078]

Yes one of the most powerfull pro routines with Gloria singing not taking away anything from her own two amazing dancers but it was Stricklys Jannette Manrara who performed that death defying drop with actor Jake from eastenders a few years baxk ? its all good and so so very inspirational there should be a DVD of these classic rourines ?

[@bruestefan]

Gloria my queen 😍

[@dianadobson2154]

I love the paso it is my favorite dance.💃🕺❤😊🌹

[@GOSMGR1]

Oh the memories. God love you Gloria!

[@jarmojarmo]

[@aiden985]

Gloria seriously kicks ass! She's still got it 😏 icl fantastic routine from them all though

[@naimaboukhouf]

Gio and Johannes always killed it

[@cattyashley8588]

When will dianne have a lead 😫😫

[@tara2780]

Catty Ashley, I think normally when they're voted out with their partners, I don't think that's gonna happen at the moment.

[@hollyparkerrx]

Ninja Goat In that case Dianne will never be the lead because Joe is going to *WIN* 🤗

[@kathrynmft]

she was with kevin for 'shotgun'

[@sashaa_stevenss]

Mamma Mia group dance xx

[@RoseK444]

Timber Affen she wasn’t really the lead in that she was at the back 80% of the time she only had the beginning and the end

[@nitawest3337]

Karen & Ricardo are amazing...this whole performance was gret

[@technicolordreamer]

[@la.uralox]

What is the step at 0:45 that the girls do called? Have wanted to know for ages!!!

[@lesscudamore9138]

I think it's a batacudas, it's a fab move!!

[@la.uralox]

Les Scudamore thank you! There's a video of Kevin and Karen teaching the step funnily enough and I've seen it before but never put two and two together!
