What an AMAZING opening Argentine Tango from our Pros ✨ BBC Strictly 2024

[@up2now]

Wish we could see more Argentine Tangos, Tangos, Sambas, Paso Dobles with the right music. It makes SUCH a difference.

[@tattyhead1945]

I love the Argentine Tango - especially with the right music. This is wonderful

[@MsGrockle]

Stunning, absolutely stunning. And how lovely to be able to enjoy the performance without the audience whooping and shrieking like banshee's at the slightest movement. This may well be my favourite pro dance of the series :)

[@christophergayler488]

That argentine tango by pros was prob best opening sequence ever not a hair out of place imaculate

[@leslierobertson5397]

[@simonettastabile7027]

Simply fantastic....Leandro and Maria great dancers, great choreographers...great teachers.

[@Sally-lg1vn]

I agree, breathtaking!! Was wondering who the professionals were, thanks 😊

[@missthea5259]

​@@Sally-lg1vn They choreograph all the Argentine Tango routines and are also excellent teachers.

[@lucylou5766]

For those asking about the music, it is called Jealousy (Gypsy Tango), written in 1925.

A British singer Billy Fury had a hit with this song Jealousy in the 60’s … he was one of my mum’s favourites 🥰

[@CheckthIsout-y3n]

The name of the song (Jealousy) is what I felt when I watched this impressive performance! Congratulations to all the dancers.

[@LauraJayneRobinson]

Wow Kai and Lauren ❤ amazing

[@CharlyEmily]

This gave me the chills

[@user-ed7iq7pm1j]

Loved it

[@alandavis5950]

The judges often say that celebrities' argentine tangos are "Great but not perfect". NOW we see what they mean. Captivating routine with dancers moving as if by some msgic inspiration!

[@harrycosmo28]

Dear Maria from Strictly Fitness, Why are you not a regular Strictly pro?

[@mellybeetaylor8177]

Gosh!! This is so sexy and so good. Going from Blackpool to Buenos Aires!!

[@lauratonge1043]

Who were the couple in black. Were they guest dancers??

[@GreenGrass-l7]

Leandro Palou & Maria Tsiatsiani, very famous tango dancers and teachers (Leandro Palou Tango Academy). You can find them easily here on YT.

[@MsKatyDod]

@@GreenGrass-l7Thank you! I was also wondering who they were. 😊

[@GreenGrass-l7]

@@MsKatyDod You're welcome. And I forgot to mention that they are the ones who choreograph all the Argentine Tango routines on Strictly. There is a nice interview with the two of them on "It Takes Two" from around 1 year ago.

[@MsKatyDod]

@@GreenGrass-l7 I’ll have to search for that ITT interview. I had heard Maria’s name mentioned as one of the on-staff choreographers for the AT, but mostly only heard her FIRST name (or at least her surname didn’t stick in my memory!) Thanks again for the info!!

Good stuff. Anyone what the music is or what it's off?

Try using Shazam or a similar app on it. Soon find out.

[@AndreaJones-eh3sd]

Very impressive

[@sergeygusev2097]

Nice acrobatics. But Argentine tango is not about acrobatics.

[@BasicYTHandle]

This was a theatrical/performance Argentine tango, not a social tango (milonga). It was WELL done.

[@sergeygusev2097]

@ This is exactly what I have said: beautiful acrobatics.

[@DawnHarvey2311]

Absolutely amazing ❤

[@Cherryontop-gh8qe]

Stunning performance
