Robert Webb and Dianne Buswell Tango to La Cumparsita by Machiko Ozawa ✨ BBC Strictly 2021

[@leah5175]

Dianne’s choreography deserves serious credit, as does Rob’s effort at the tango. Loved the dance and feel it definitely deserved higher marks!

[@Emma-ke4bl]

Can we just appreciate Dianne’s choreography she put everything into it and it was STUNNING🤩

[@Jac-Jay]

I'm not normally a fan of her choreography,I think she shows off herself too much and not her partner but this was brilliant,she's right on the money here

[@nonondriessen]

@@Jac-Jay I second that.

[@bessieburnet9816]

@@Jac-Jay If you have seen her past performances, it's far from just showing off herself. What are you on? 😂 Remember, it's a _partnership,_ an equal partnership between the celeb and the pro

[@charliewelton_05]

@@bessieburnet9816 I 100% agree, Dianne choreographs to her partner, not herself, have these people seen her past foxtrots, some of the best choreography in strictly history!!

[@TheSunshineHappy]

Deffo the most underscored of the night! The judges gave this great comments and said there was no mistakes and yet gave it 6 & 7's???!?!?!?

[@bessieburnet9816]

Just because they're a jokey and fun couple, they don't get the credit they deserve

[@crumpetlips2062]

The judges were at 6's & 7's!x

[@ykc6754]

He needs to pull his left arm further back and improve his frame. That will serve him well in all the other standard ballroom dances.

[@naimaboukhouf7357]

I like this comedian but yes was mistakes ,however was not too bad Yes great choregraphie

[@ellieg3709]

l tweeted on the night about the 'mean marks' they were given, especially when the judges gave them such good reviews and Shirley pointed out Robert made NO MISTAKES, so why did they only get 6s & 7's ? Some of the others who came after weren't as good, but got higher marks... Let's see what happens movie week this weekend.

[@ajrein4226]

Completely undermarked by the judges, massively so especially after their comments

[@jemimap2138]

dianne’s choreography was absolutely amazing and really showed off how hard they’d both been working all week! loved the characterisation and styling- knew robert had it in him and dianne’s wonderful teaching helped. you can tell how much of a good teacher she is by the emotions at the end, that’s what strictly is about! judges deffo undermarked but i’m excited to see how far they can go now everyone knows they can be fun but also have technique! sooo proud!

[@JoeBleasdaleReal]

Amazing to think Shirley gave the John Travolta crap a 7 and then said Robert didn’t make any mistakes yet gave him a 6. Can’t believe it. This was the classiest Strictly Tango since the very early days and deserved so much more based on what the judges said.

[@sophiepellerin5517]

yeah, Shirley marked that other dance with her emotions and not according to what was done. If the other dance was a 7, this is at least as good as that

[@bessieburnet9816]

Which dance was John Travolta?

[@tamsinniven]

dianne deserves so much more recognition for her choreography!! so proud of this team!

[@lynncw9202]

Now that is proper Tango music. La Cumposito, Blue Tango etc. Lovely. I wish we could have more of that.

[@CarysMiller]

I was not expecting this from Robert!! He was amazing tonight and I love how you can hear Dianne screaming at the end because she was so happy and she had every right to be! I would not be mad if they were in the final after tonight’s performance!! 🥰

Have you not seen Robert’s flash dance? Joy! 🤣

Wow this was incredible. SO under marked I don’t understand? Watch Adam Peaty dance like this and get 9’s... honesty, Robert didn’t make one wrong move and this was incredibly technical. Rob and Dianne for the win, love them! This man can do ANYTHING ❤️

[@teacherkate1]

Lovely to see her so proud of him and rightly so. Wonderful to see proper dancing and no distracting faces or silliness

[@aliciasylvia5126]

Diannes choreography 😍 Robert has improved so much cannot wait for more 😁 (Diannes scream at the end) 😂😂

[@shinbios]

My favourite tango in this series thus far. Definitely unexpected and pleasantly surprised! I appreciated the 60 seconds in total of in-hold choreography and that intensity and menace.

[@bcoolfool1014]

Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. I don't know how they scored, but they totally deserved high marks. Dianne's choreography is just sensational.

[@Bethhhf]

One of my favourites of the night

[@campbellphoenix7662]

Olé! Best...Tango...EVER!!!!! 😻

[@RandomLemon49]

Wow! That was good! And I loved that choreography. Definitely oneof the best of Dianne

[@MsGrockle]

A couple of rises on some chasses that shouldn't be there, but this was really good. His timing was spot on, footwork clean and he looked like he was totally in command. His right hand should be further across Diannes back, but there was little to fault this performance. So pleased that Dianne didn't go for another parody dance and I hope she keeps the choreography serious going forward, because Robert can definitely do it.

[@madamg612]

Well done Dianne and Robert- this was absolutely brilliant! Can we just talk about how incredible this violinist is too? 🥰

[@_eddo]

WOW !! This was outstanding!!! I am In total awe ! The passion the drive and fierceness in this was amazing ! It’s all credit to Diannes amazing choreography !! Well done Di ! I am so proud of you and Rob ! You did so so well! I think we will be seeing you in movie week for sure ! Of course you got my votes 🔥🔥♥️♥️xxxx

[@fcarouge]

I'm so proud of them two. I was raised listening to tangos, so it means a lot to me to see such a great choregraphy and performance.

[@melanieshirkey5276]

Beautiful dance! I believe you both will win!

[@jenihall3996]

Good solid performance and great routine from Dianne. The musician doing the violin solo was great if that was a live rendition too. I would have liked to have seen the player on the floor with the dancers dancing around them.

[@ribena607]

Wow, he was great! I didn't expect him to make such an improvement! I'm glad he did though and he got to really prove through a serious dance (and proper matching music) that he does have it in him.

[@tncookies]

I had no idea he was this good after seeing him do that silly dance last week. Impressive!

[@bessieburnet9816]

Hey, last weeks dance was good. He actually did well on that. Give him the credit he deserves.

[@tncookies]

@@bessieburnet9816 I didn't mean that he wasn't good last week. The routine was not working for him. Not his fault. This week he really impressed me.

[@sanahussain4755]

This choreo is brilliant, Dianne smashed it as always & rob carried her so well in this too!

[@ravenclawrumba7096]

Did not expect this as a follow up from last week Dianne has worked her magic. This is so original and the footwork was great for week 2 becoming a fan of Rob. 7/10

[@pennyandfishy7241]

That was a very good attempt, the musical phrasing was excellent, the mood was lovely, his hold was excellent and he really committed to the performance aspect of it. I hope Dianne has a positive year this year as apart from Joe she never seems to get far. The only thing letting it down was I can't help think of Ann Widdecombe's flying Tango every time I hear that peice 😂. It's nice to get a more traditional serious Tango this time. His heal leads were strong and he closed his feet very well. Excellent spotting and lovely choreography. *7/10* good improvement too.

[@kliu3531]

Really think he is the Dark Horse of the competition. I feel hes the one that will improve the most.

[@hananarnold]

this choreography by dianne is amazing the seriousness and effort that was put in to this needs a lot more credit! 7

I thought it didn’t suit a ballroom tango honestly. would be better for an argentine tango

[@wystxrr]

@@janforrest7256 I think it suits an Argentine tango better, but that’s just my opinion

[@bessieburnet9816]

...WOW! ...WOOOOW! Wow! What was THAT?! Now that was good. I knew hel was good, but that was amazing! He was good, but he's improved so much. Haha to everyone thinking he'd be comedy, my auntie included. And apparently he made no mistakes? Woo! My one criticism us that I felt he was being a bit too careful. But man... Dianne's second Tango, but her first classical Tango. It was actually quite beautiful. Very seriously done. I'm quite proud actually. Must be so rewarding for pros like Dianne, for the celeb to go from broken from training, scolding them so much that a certain word is burned in memory, and they smash the dance!!Deserved good scores. That 6 was woefully low. They don't get enough credit, just because they're jokey and fun.

[@AAdaughterofYHWH]

Dianne's reaction at the end made me get emotional too, Rob was incredible, huge improvement - I had to vote for him last night even though I had other contestants in mind before the show (same as Sara).

I enjoyed this tango so much. Traditional and powerful. And no stupid props... I recall seeing a few tangos on Strictly with questionable themes...and it makes me wonder, "Wtf?!? What is THAT doing in a tango?!!" So...none of those stupid gimmicks in this tango. Well done Robert and Dianne.

[@creshaunh]

Score: *7.5* ROBERT!!! YESSS!!!! This was great, loved the leading of Dianne and the frame was solid. There was one technical hiccup but Robert fixed it quickly, I had a slight issue with his face toward the end, it looks like he was focused but at the same time was thinking whom should I cut off first from this crew!!! Looked like Norman Bates for a quick second, but other than that, its better than last week!!!

It was great to see a completely different side to Robert this week. Clever move on their part to show that he can be versatile.

[@jakebowler9763]

Robert! Where did this come from? Said last week that he had the potential for good technique if he manages to keep his focus. Its nice to be proved right. Argentine sections weren't as strong as the classic parts. 7

[@janforrest7256]

There should be no Argentine Tango sections in a ballroom tango

[@janforrest7256]

Even Craig pointed this out to Nina and Neil in their tango

[@laurendoy5862]

moment of silence for diannes choreography. thank you

[@charlotteb5802]

Should have been 9s all around or dare I say a 10 in there, if a dance is worthy of a 10 give it to them, doesn't matter how early it is! This was fantastic Diane must be a brilliant teacher

[@felicityshepherd7659]

It was lovely to watch. Thanks.

[@hydraxisfrimon9785]

First time I have seen this. Robert looking a bit Wilko Johnson but Dianne did a great job of drumming the principles of a very complex dance into him. I am sure if he had done it a few more times he would relax into it a bit more!

[@danielthestrictlysuperfan6420]

I definitely enjoyed this routine! Proper music, lovely outfits, nice intention in Robert's eyes and nice hold. It could have been sharper and more "into the floor" (having more of that stalking leg action, in which you move like you are following someone rapidly but quietly while your legs are being pooled by the floor as there were magnets installed in it, meaning that you cannot pick\lift your legs). I addition, Greg's posture could have been slightly better and they broke hold during the dance (which is illegal). Haven't said that, the story -telling, the nice attention to some details, the visuals of it all, the incredible interpretation of the music - all of that come together into a wonderful number. I cannot wait for Robert's quickstep next week - he needs to work on his posture a bit and he'll be great (hopefully). My score: a 6.

[@alessaauri8383]

[@tonylakin7779]

A am a big fan of Robert in all he does and this is what I wanted from the start. To see the more serious side of him, I knew it would showcase just what a good dancer he can become. I thought last weeks routine was rather playing to the gallery and the outfit awful! Dianne keep going in this direction and I am sure this will take Robert into the last remaining 3!

[@sarahrigby7580]

Apparently he got a bit over excited last week too and there was a fair bit of choreography in there that Diane didn’t know about in advance! I seem to remember that he got slightly ahead as well in the cha cha?? Anyway, week 2 and the nerves and shock and excitement of week 1 has settled down and this was an outstanding tango; I think possibly my favourite performance of the night. Those in the know seem to be awarding him 7s (I thought he deserved at least a 7 from each judge and so was underscored) but given this is only week 2, and it’s a 7 for a week 5/6 tango, personally, I’d give him an 8. Fabulous music and musical performance too.

[@miafallon3186]

Think this one was great

[@SuperTy173]

Think it lacked a bit of staccato and sharpness (besides the "head flicks"). A very good effort though.
