Carlos is an absolute legend; I still can't believe I was able to see him with Marianela Nunez in Don Quixote before his retirement! Amazing to see him dancing again!

[@zxaddictxz]

Oh. My. Goodness. Carlos Acosta at SCD. Amazing as ever. How lucky those in the studio are! How lucky is Katya to be partnered with him!

[@sallygardiner7150]

Fantastic to see Carlos Acosta dancing. He is King. A great talent, uniquely matched with a wonderful personality and sense of humour. Legend in his own lifetime.

[@AS-kx4bl]

A true Macho dancer!

[@olgaharris6134]

Carlos Acosta is amazing! Love to see him dancing!

[@Daya-zs4qi]

I am Cuban 🇨🇺 and very proud of Carlos Acosta. He is a brilliant dancer and a very nice person. I have met him a few times.

[@veesvoyages]

This was incredible! Carlos is an insane dancer! So light on his feet and so elegant, I'm in awe! So impressive to watch!❤️❤️

[@anonymouspeacefulperson6199]

Francis, Marco and Marlene Brenda Blethan Francis, Winnifred Shelly Anne Gill Francis, Connie Marlene Francis Wogan Beecham yay 😁

[@agenttheater5]

Wasn't he supposed to have retired by then?

[@maggiemcgee4358]

What a fantastic routine. Carlos Acosta so talented, as is Katya paired as his leading lady. She was so beautiful and balletic withhim.

[@GazaLondon]

I had the privilege of seeing Carlos dance many times at Covent Garden

[@lornacameron5691]

Great opportunity to see one of the greatetballet dancers ever, katya did well as his partner. Fabulouse opening dance this season

[@Louise-en6ck]

I didn’t realise that was Katya. Amazing dance. 🕺💃💕

[@kylaarmagost1304]

no matter how dark the lights are i can always find diane ❤️

[@vallee3140]

but why is she almost always at the back?

[@kylaarmagost1304]

@@vallee3140 that's a good question!

[@jessjezz3940]

I'm so glad Katya got to be his leading lady!! Brilliant!

[@aleli5105]

[@user-vg2lp1fd6z]

Fab-u-lous. I can't stop watching Carlos 😍

[@lucyb4672]

one of my new favourite pro dance !!

[@lisaward7969]

Best pro dance of this series imo

[@MegTalksGlee]

Fun fact the second the main show stopped recording the strictly had to install a new bouncy (spring) dance floor on top of the regular one and then take it of for the rest of the results show. This was done I less than 1 hour and it’s quite amazing actually

[@murielle4251]

WOW ! He's a legend. One of the greatest dancers ever.

[@streb6]

Carlos !!! Golden 💪💪💪👈🌹🌹🌹❤💎👏👏👏👏💐💐💐👍

[@tracey-annwisdom2874]

Y yo también Sra Ivonne!!Cubano y talento es nuestro Carlos Acosta.Bendiciones❤

[@wrainy_music]

Tag yourself: I'm Dianne at 1:13

[@loupayne5346]

[@Fandomswillxcollide]

Lou Payne fellow Magnus stan 💙

[@EEN63]

[@hannaferdinandus7325]

[@RASMANYS]

FANTASTICO

[@MiniMousie06]

Amazing💖 Well done all

[@LS-ot7td]

Brill but I wish they didn't make the audience scream every two seconds.

[@cornellwaters9089]

🇫🇲 Thank You;

[@bethny2811]

New favourite dance

[@zxaddictxz]

Am I the only one curious about what Gorka is saying to Carlos at 1:27? I cannot read his Spanish lips... 🤔

[@aleli5105]

I think is saying VAMOS

[@LuxLisbon26]

Lol I have never identified with a pro as I did with Dianne in this dance :)

[@jasleengill8644]

What?

[@cannyexplorer5357]

Loved the show but please audience stop screeching all the time while the artists are performing. Your not in the US where shows are ruined completely by the awful noise coming from the audiences.

[@zahra9813]

Well excuuuuuse me! Don't knock us down because we tend to react when we see something amazing. It is freakin' normal. Why be stoic all the time?! These kind of shows rely on those kind of reactions. Sheesh!

[@Fatima502]

In this context I quite like the audience noise. It made me want to be there too. What I don't like are chat shows where the audience whoops every 10 seconds.

[@annaduckworth8650]

Wowsers 😮 👏👏👏

[@franceshicks5337]

Music is from Carmen??? An opera I believe

[@maceytowndrow1707]

I hope karim And Amy get through 💕💕

[@scarlettcourtney9205]

Macey Towndrow they do

[@maceytowndrow1707]

Oh yayyyyy

[@ericx4124]

Phoebe Judge/This is Love brought me here.

[@allareinfeldt1525]

Just wanted to say hi 👋🏻

[@jacquelinedeakin3045]

Wonderful but hey, this was just easy for him to do this little cameo role. The dancers around him must have loved their chance to dance nearby.

[@JessyMay1234]

Can someone please tell me the second song?

[@mimiwells1829]

😍

[@amynutter5050]

Why is geo always in the background As anybody notish can't understand He is. One off the best dancers in the Group

[@leewillmore1904]

Does anyone know the composer of this music?

[@agenttheater5]

Bizet I think - this is from the opera 'Carmen'

[@cosmoglass]

I think my darling Katya was nervous for this one, or was I just worrying too much?

[@franceshicks5337]

But u don't applaud & shout & screech during such a performance it is just so ignorant, do u suppose audience at the ballet scream, shout, holler, it has taken years for these dancers to train to their standard, just watch

[@maxrobespierre2570]

I always think it adds to the excitement for people at home if the audience clap and cheer

[@moiraruff3292]

They shout & whoop in Cuba & they clap & shout in Russia.

[@cosmoglass]

What is the music, please? I do recognise it of course. Have pity on a philistine.

[@evewalsham85]

Its from carmen, french composer Bizet.

[@cosmoglass]

@@evewalsham85 Thank you. I already know I like Les Pecheurs de Perles by Bizet.

[@BethanyRoss1107]

What’s the up beat song they are singing?

[@maritta2504]

Well, there is no singing though... But all the music is from Carmen (the Opera) by Bizet.

[@hayleyfurnell2128]

Whats the name of the song they're dancing to?

[@anjmehra]

Los Toreadors - same song that Kevin Clifton did a Paso to with Susanna Reid

[@hayleyfurnell2128]

@@anjmehra thank you!

[@rebeccahone4928]

All of the music is from the opera ‘Carmen’ :)

[@Drinkthedamncocoa]

It’s the music from Bizet’s Carmen

[@leahbunn4367]

Song starting from 1:03 ?

[@maritta2504]

That's all from Carmen (the opera) by Bizet.

[@blairlomax7107]

Leahbunn Les toréadors 😊
