This routine was so beautiful and emotive and Tasha and Aljaz looked incredible! The music worked so well with the routine and I'm so happy for them both getting the first 40 of the series! ❤❤

Just so beautiful ! So incredibly moving, elegant and sensual. She flies in those lifts.

[@msj5415]

@@oliviahickman6765what's wrong with pointing out that she is a professional dancer? They said she's _like_ a professional, but she _is_ a professional.

[@oliviahickman6765]

⁠​⁠@@msj5415 the thing is people are using it in way to be insulting. If it was used as a compliment like the main comment in this thread, then there would be no problem here. YES she is a professional dancer but not in ballroom and Latin. But yes she absolutely executed this dance like one of the professional so let’s give her credit where it’s due!!🙌

[@JKReAl]

@@oliviahickman6765she’s a professional with previous experience, unfairly advantage vs her competition, but go on and believe everything is fair and that’s the underdog when clearly she’s not

This is the best dance of the season for me

Truly deserved! Absolutely STUNNING😍

[@appoxplayer]

Unreal. I know the focus should be on the celebrity but when I heard Aljaž was returning I was so excited. Seeing the partnership with Tasha has been incredible. Not ashamed to say I shed a tear watching this after hearing it was a dance dedicated to his daughter. Tasha is far and away the best dancer in the competition. I don't care what people are saying about previous dance experience, she and Aljaž have the power to make you FEEL their dances. I must also admit that it is making me look at my own prejudices. When I saw that a Love Island contestant was taking part I rolled my eyes. Tasha is simply wonderful inside and out. She has my full support and must surely be this year's winner on dancing ability.

[@rafaelyaguaro2842]

Wow... Just wow! More than deserved that 40!!

[@pennyandfishy7241]

Score - *100* If there was a 100 this was it! The cochlear implant made on the heart was so so touching 💕 Aljaz won the first strictly series I became a fan and I just think he's never desevred a win as much as this year, that choreography is second to none, that sequence of rotation in that lift at 1:26 was so fast yet so smooth. As soon as Tasha nailed that heel turn I knew it was a 40, whenever a dancer can evoke so much emotion out of a person you know their heart is truly in it and her heart was left on that floor 😢 that was probably the best American Smooth we've ever seen, it was like watching the ballerina you spin and it twirls in human form, just amazing, I say it every week, THE BEST DANCER TO EVER STEP ON THE STRICTLY FLOOR 🛐

[@SabrinaChung-fq1ph]

A well deserved score of 40, so touching, mesmerising and beautiful American smooth. I love the song choice and choreography also 💜💜👏👏🥰🥰

[@cassiecarter5886]

[@misha-jz4yx]

oh that was so beautiful 🤍

[@bessieburnet9816]

She is just... so perfect! This girl is made for dance! She embodies it so well! What a stunning young lady! Bout freaking time she gets the 40 she deserves! If I had my way, she'd have had many 40s over and over like Ashley Roberts did! Craig finally caught up!

[@oiooi6460]

You'd think she was a trained dancer, wouldn't you....oh, wait

[@Kacpi0044]

​​@@oiooi6460 There were many Strictly contestants with dance experience over years. Ashley Roberts, Alesha Dixon, Alexandra Burke, Danny Mac, Layton Williams... The list is pretty long. Diffrent celebrities take part in Strictly from young to old, from complete amateurs to people with dance background. It was, is and will be present.

why do people come on Tasha’s posts just to comment this negativity. Have a day off

[@meredithgrace4337]

And last but ceritanly not least is Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz dancing the American Smooth. E Harmeny wants it heart back just a little joke, this dance technically great, I think the song helped this dance as well, I didn't get the hype, not my favourite dance of the night sorry.

[@ssh2124]

This dance seems to come out of fairy tales 🥹 She didn't rush a step .. she stayed calm and took her time to do her steps .. it happens a lot when a celeb rushes into the next step, worrying maybe missing it .. but she didn't do that at all, and that's a great achievement itself

[@the5thjudge]

Our scores: Me: 10 Diya: 10 Kelsey: 10 Owen: 10 40/40 YES FINALLY A 10 FROM CRAIG! Forget dance of the night, this is the best dance of the whole season. I mean come on, this is ridiculous. I know it isn’t, but Tasha makes it look so effortless. I’m so at ease watching her because I’m never nervous she’ll go wrong. Transitions in and out of hold were seamless, beautiful frame, posture, footwork etc. So much emotion, beautiful choreography, I could rave for hours. Anyone who thinks it didn’t deserve 40 is just wrong. She’s a winner, whether she lifts the trophy or not.
