Katie & Anton American Smooth to 'Ain't That A Kick In The Head' - Strictly Come Dancing: 2015

[@estellahunter6916]

This was my favourite dance of the night. Katie is so elegant and sophisticated and the whole routine had that lovely touch of glamour. Beautiful!

[@BHarding10]

I am in love with Kaite! Cannot wait to see her and Anton perform an Argentine Tango! That would be the first time Anton performs competitively in the show I believe 😵?

[@susanbaskerville5239]

Classy , elegant, just right for Katie , Anton should stand on top of Black pool Tower and shout out I AM KING OF THE BALLROOM PURE CLASS !!!!!!!!!

[@GOSMGR1]

Clever routine. A couple of bits of unsteadiness, but she actually covers them up brilliantly. Enjoyed it enormously.

[@legaleagle46]

Beautiful routine (despite a few slight wobbles), and done to one of my favorite songs, too. Katie was elegant all the way through, and I loved her expression -- she really got into the character of the dance and sold it. She definitely will deserve a spot in the finals if she keeps this up. Well done! :)

[@RMFUNTIK]

Wow, it was beautiful

[@scd1239]

Wow! Smooth, classy, elegant, well done Katie! I do have to agree with the judges (i think it was Craig who bought it up) that in the second to last lift (the spin one) she does look a bit hesitant and unconfident, and that continues fro the twirls with the extras, but overall, excellent routine, excellently performed. Also, Anton's face when he got three nines, adorable!

Fab Katie, You looked Stunning xx

[@o00.05]

What a beautiful couple; very complimentary to each other. It's not 'move over darling' but move over Antony!

[@mcculloch29]

No wonder it rang a bell when Anton said “There’s always one number I wish I’d done and that was it”, in response to Ellie and Vito’s fantastic American Smooth in Week Seven of Strictly 2023. You had, Anton, you had. Katie Derham must be heartbroken. Loved it then, but not as much as I loved Ellie Leach and Vito’s in 2023.

BEAUITFULLY DONE! What I've loved about Katie and Anton as a couple is that, comparing them to the younger pairs, it's almost like watching a high school dance, where the parents are challenged to outdo their children, and they end up shocking everyone. I am so excited for her Argentine Tango next week, because with her intensity we saw in her standard Tango, and her raunch we saw in her Rumba, I feel if she gauges it correctly, she could knock it out of the park. I'm praying Anton choreographs well! But, I will say that with Jamelia gone, Katie has the most danger of leaving. While it seriously is likely, I am hoping that she can defy the odds and make it those 3 weeks to the finals. She and Anita have become my favorites.

[@marksaunders7920]

+Dancerama6 They have specialist Argentine Tango choreographers. The same ones who choreographed Jays's.

[@garronmartin9507]

Forget all the technical stuff, just look at it as entertaining -as it should be as we are not judges and should not be-PURE MAGIC, ROMANCE, ELEGANCE ,SOPHISTICATION ,STYLE and above all FUN!!!!!!!

[@scdobserver835]

Classy, classy routine, danced by a classy, classy woman. Love those feather steps done side by side before the... lift from two of those backing dancers? What if this is performed again by them if they were in the finals in a much smaller studio dance floor (without the backing dancers)? How will they replicate that lift from those backing dancers then?! That aside, there was unfortunately one very slight but obvious mistake I can see from the routine, it was the last bit when Anton spins her towards the backing dancers before they execute the last lift. She lost her axis slightly. Could be a ten dance. But still a very good nine from me!

[@carysjenkins2844]

+CrumpetSims Same!!! The day when Anton gets a ten I will start jumping around the room!

[@scdobserver835]

carys jenkins They will get a ten. Katie is capable of it!

[@goawayleavemealone2880]

+carys jenkins I'm surprised they didn't get 10's for that amazing Viennese Waltz - it was beautiful.

[@Myrmidons]

I love Antony and Katie but I think she ll be in the bottom 2 with Peter and dance off. She's very elegant a proper primadona on the dance floor but she's not light on her feet. Sometimes Antony slows down a lot so she can keep up with him. Happened in many previous dances or She's been dragged along. I want to see some fire coming out from that woman. Is that possible? 😊

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

​@@scdobserver835Anton did get his first ever 10s in 2019 at Blackpool with Emma Barton

[@jkg2088]

A little under marked. 36/40 would have justified how well Katie danced. Very good job, Katie. Wonderful! 😊

Gapping at 0:31, mistake at 1:14, had to correct where she was at at 1:07, dropped frame at 1:17, imbalanced at 1:46, hesitant going into the second lift at 1:21. Other than that she didn't look out of place with the pros
