Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice dance Couple's Choice ✨ BBC Strictly 2021

[@GiraffeFeatures]

Usually it's the Celebrities falling in love with him, this series He has fallen in love with her lmao

[@missthea5259]

Agreed although I think he grew up with Debbie Mcgee who had lost Paul the year before. He was also extremely sweet, caring and kind with her. I do think that Rose will be the making of him though. It's wonderful to watch their connection grow and change. I woldn't be surprised if they ended up falling for each other. She is teaching him things he had clearly never even thought about. I love it! Th part just after she covers his ears and thee music disappears and she literally takes him by the hand and leads him into her world/silent symphony! Chef's kiss. Incredible! Sigh!

[@SpockPlaysGuitar]

There are two types of good Couple's Choice. The first is the style of Bill Bailey where you play into the celebrity's strengths and get them doing something technically challenging which really shows them off. The second is this. Using the dance to express the person. The dancing in almost silence was amazing, but the moment before that was even more important. Rose covered Giovanni's ears and then, for the first time in the series, led him. She invited him into the sound of her world. And it wasn't sad or dramatic. She kept smiling - her world is happy and she can dance! Giovanni is a genius with this choreography, and Rose nailed it. A few technical bits like Craig said, but I can't wait to see this dance get the 40 it deserves in the final.

[@angelbearcrafts]

Thank you. I had missed the fact she covered his ears before the music went silent. Gives it another depth.

They are so brilliant dance and rose and Giovanni are so fabulous. Wow, it's very amazing everything made me cry! You and rose are won! I am so proud of you both them too big hugs

[@peterharper3861]

I'm not really an emotional type, can watch just about anything and remain stoney faced and completely placid. I've only ever watched strictly in the last couple of years because the wife loves it. But this routine had me completely choked for some reason. Really struggled to hold back tears, and I have no idea why. Tremendous.

[@michaelaegger3260]

Don’t feel like you have to hold them back. We all love a man who isn’t afraid to cry ❤️

[@vallee3140]

@@michaelaegger3260 I'll second that ,why do men worry about getting emotional

[@alphaflix]

rose and giovanni. oh my word! you had a grown man in tears. truly wonderful.

[@marymoore8456]

They can just finish Strictly now. We have our winners. It's got to be Rose & Giovanni, absolutely amazing. Loved every minute of this dance. They are brilliant

[@msalden-morris2305]

Absolutely breathtaking. Showing us in those sixteen seconds what she had been doing all along and making us understand. Beautiful

[@raccoonlam6911]

Love Rose and Giovanni couples choice. So emotional. I cried. It's a 20 from me.

[@vallee3140]

Why is it I still cannot watch this without crying? I think a lot of it is to do with the fact I so wish she could hear the music, she is missing so much.

[@NickieOHara]

I don't mind admitting that I sobbed during this dance, then again when Rose thanked Gio before they got their scores. This is absolutely history in the making and I'm so glad I've been here to watch it.

[@katiekelly3279]

This Was Such A Powerful Message & I’m Proud Of Giovanni & Rose For Putting It Out There! ❤️ My Score - 10

[@eg5341]

So many people will forget that in the silent section, nothing changed for Rose. Deaf awareness needs to be taugh to everyone. A hearing person will never understand the barriers they face in everyday life but we can try any break down some of those barriers. Rose on strictly has brought the deaf community to the centre stage and for that I will be eternally greatful!

[@pollycat4239]

Inspiring, Powerful, Emotional to witness. Just beautiful . Thank you Rose and Gio for this historic unforgettable moment

[@sandyboehm8190]

Giovanni has found in Rose someone who he can truly admire and respect, taking him away from his usual routine and values. She has made him a better person.😘

[@Dancingbbbbh]

I LOVE this dance ❤if I watch it hundred times will not ever get bored 😊

[@tinamuliett9095]

Absolutely stunning! This really shows that dance is an art and a language that can be enjoyed by everyone ❤❤❤

[@chasea7595]

So beautiful both of them and she is like a fairy .voted 4times for their wonderful performance hope they win .

[@darrensmall5548]

The level of emotion conveyed in their performance was breath taking. There wasn't a dry eye in my household last night, Rose is our winner.

[@SimplyMeKaty]

I don't watch Strictly but I heard so much about this I came to have a look for myself. Simply beautiful. Brought a tear to my eye.

[@vallee3140]

have you watched her other dances?? well worth it she was incredible

[@rebeccagriffin2515]

I actually cried at this one, she is so incredible ❤❤❤

[@Jayson-xd6vc]

BEST STROCTLY DANCE OF ALL TIME

[@ellieoakly8128]

i thought the whole of the couples choice should have been in silence but this was way better than what i thought, a way bigger effect 10/10 for me, #RoseToWin

[@daisymeadow6662]

Thank you to Rose for letting us be part of your world for a few seconds, I am truly humbled by Rose, I just donot know how she dances so beautifully to music she cannot hear, when I, as a hearing person, would be like a baby elephant with two left feet, she is truly incredible.

[@tamara2]

Sometimes you watch a dance and you just know that it will stay with you forever. Maybe it’s flawless like Danny’s Samba or hilarious like Ed’s Salsa. And maybe it’s so beautiful and moving that you just know you’ll never forget it. That was this dance. The most beautiful routine I have ever seen. Thank you, Rose and Gio.

[@Northstander]

Agree totally, I haven't watched every series of Strictly...it took me a few years to find it...but there are a number of dances that stick in the memory, not necessarily for the right reasons, but this one was up there with the best for me...don't think I will ever forget it's beauty.

[@kathyjones3320]

Such a beautiful young lady she's an inspiration, made me cry.

[@johara5468]

I never watch this show but just saw Gemma Atkinson's post on Instagram. Wow. I didnt even know she was deaf until after I watched the dance and googled her. Wow. Amazing.

[@klerrs10]

Can we just say how beautiful Rose is! She is soo good! She really expressed herself and the whole dance(especially the silent moment) was soo moving! ❤️☺️

[@andrewmcp7563]

I don't watch Strictly any more, but performances like this remind me why I used to... occasionally there are moments of pure, unpredictable art. Bravo! So powerful. So emotional.
