The thing for me is that watching his dances is not about technicality , it’s the fact that with every single dance Hamza does you can see the pure joy in his face when he’s dancing. It’s like the music takes over his body and he’s just in this joyous, rhythmic state - letting the music take over. I absolutely love to watch him.

This is what dancing should be about - the joy of life! And, o boy, is Hamza the King of the Lifts! They have a fantastic dance partnership, she trusts him so much.

He was so smooth and made every move look so effortless, and the joy just emanating from him, I'm glad he feels the pride he does! The sequence of the last 4 dances (Molly, Will, Fleur, and him) was simply on another level!

Great performance. Amazing lifts and Jowita killed it! Motsi’s comment cracked me up, ‘girl do a dna test.’ 🤣🔥

9 Hamza’s timing went out at the end, but the lifts, the energy, the musicality, the fluidity, and the joy was infectious! HAMZA FOR THE FINAL!

Glad he won. My favourite

I can’t tell you Hamza and Jowita how many times I have watched this back this morning. Hamza I feel the music welling up from within your soul and it makes me weep for joy. You have opened a window - we see you - and you deserve all the recognition that you received last night.

Love Hamza... Jowita is FIRE!!!!!

ONE OF THE BEST PERFORMANCES OF HAMZA I HAVE TO SAY!!!

Well Hamza & Jowita another dance to add to my daily " feel good " videos even when you finish on Strictly . My grandson is 21 tomorrow and as Motsi said " she never thought she'd see a dance from Africa where we all originate from on Strictly. My 4 grandsons are mixed race ,every day they and their father encounter racism. Jowita you go girl music and dance crosses all continents and creeds and colours. Tu both again for lighting up my week. You Sunbeams. Got my friend to watch you she's hooked 2.

Well done Hamza! You deserved to win. You have been so humble from start. Congratulations 🎉

This is a very different kind of Couples Choice doing all the African style beats and great lifts. A bit out of sync on minor occasions but just like Helen they are enjoyable to watch, he is the people's champion. Great job Hamza

So fun! Love how he's brought a different dimension to this series.

I absolutely adore this couple. Both seem to be the most humble people who just don't know how amazing they are.

WOW!!!! I mean Hamza was so good. But Jowita?!!! Nearly blew my tiny mind 🤩😄 Loved watching them dance this 💛

He's fantastic his body moves are so natural He's a born dancer just love watching him,as for this partner what a dancer she can move thay look great together what them to win

What an honour Hamaza to share in the Joy and Love of you. Loved this music and dance when it became a World community dance from Africa during the pandemic. If you haven't seen the videos it well worth it. I particular enjoyed the Jerusalema dance challenge from the Nairobi Women hospital. The dance sums up the true human Soul of Joy in the World even in the hardest of time. There were Nuns and Priest in Italy, people doing the dance in every Country in the World. I cried with Joy over this many times. And Hamza and Jovita brought it all back. Thank you for making my heart sing.

Watching this for the millionth time. What an amazing pro, she went full in, she has to match his energy, it's unbelievable how amazing she is & Hamza. They are the winners for me.

Number of views speaks for itself on how good this is, but can we talk about how seamless all the lifts are and how Jowita doesn’t seem at all phased and that just means 10 times the viewing pleasure….. Hamza is the God of Lifts! Less kicks for his poor knees…. and more lifts because we know he can do it!!! Can’t think of any other male content that has ever been like him…

You cannot fault them, absolutely brilliant, well deserved, hamza has put his soul into this, well deserved 👋👋👋👋👋, 👌👌

So glad and proud he won Always was my favourite

I've always loved this song and I never wanted it to be on strictly as a salsa or samba but I'm glad it was done as an African couple choice as its a spiritual song and for me it was meant for hamza to dance to it and the song IS hamza. Uplifting and motivating and totally unique

Oh Hamza. YOU BRING ME JOY. My heart dances when you dance. Simply wonderful x

Wow! This dance made me smile! HAMZA MAKES ME SMILE! This is such a great season full of talent. There are so many people I like but this is the couple I’m rooting for. Let’s go Hamza & Jowita! 🏆💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻🏆

Score: *10!!!* I did see the error tht Hamza at the end, but was it really worth of 8, heck no. Hamza was feeling GOOD during this dance, you can see it all in his face. It gave me the vibe that he had during the Salsa, well I just sat back and just watch the performance. This is one of the dances where I will always perfer Strictly over DWTS. Just an uniqueness about the dance from beginning to end. Loved it!!

Words are hard to find to praise this! Sunshine and Joy indeed. Thank you, Hamza, for letting us watch the dancing of your soul

I smile every time I re-watch this!

Once again *THOSE LIFTS*

So, so, so amazing. Such a pure and joyful dance. I loved that little moment at the end and... geez...Jowita literally spun on his back!! I know she's not afraid of a lift, but the amount of trust she has in him to do that... Great partnership! She has been one of the best choices strictly has made in a long time.

I hope they do this again in the final and make it even more perfect!

Score: 9 WOW WOW WOW!! I feel so happy for Hamza because this dance represents his country so it must mean soo much to him to dance it and it was absolutely phenomenal to see it being showcased on this show! It was so nice to have something different for a couple's choice for once! And it was FLAWLESS! THOSE LIFTS. Hamza has some of the best musicality we have ever seen on this show and he just nails everything and makes it look sooo easy! How Jowita can dance it like that I have nooo idea. It was so nice to have a celebration of Hamza's home, and Motsi's too. Unfortunately, there were a few timing issues so it isn't a 10 for me sadly. 😥 Without them IT IS! What a way to close the show. 100% they are getting through and I'm SOOO EXCITED to see what they do at Blackpool! BEST STRICTLY DUO EVER!!!

I want to see them do that dance again without any errors (I agree it shouldn't have been 10's, but I think judges were a little carried away by overall enjoyment and those stunning lifts - we really haven't seen anything like those before on Strictly, especially executed with so little apparent effort). I think Hamza might have felt a little pressure closing the show. Maybe we'll see it again if he gets to the final? But he'd probably repeat his salsa.

Score - *10!* Hamza Hamza Hamza! Amazing performance once again, he brings it too all styles of dance, lifts and synchronisation to perfection. I loved the African elements and storytelling it really was a couples choice thst hit hard to the moment. Yes there was the issue at the end but it was so minor and it really happened when the music was stopping so I think its acceptable and also as you know it's not about being technical perfection sometimes its about the performance and execution which was incredible. Great energy and turns, loads of quick rhythym changes, so many references and accents to the culture and it felt extremely fresh and welcoming, it was smooth and cool. Jowita knows how to put a routine together, like is there anything Hamza can't do? So so good it was full of pure magic 💫

I wouldn't give that more than a 5. 6 if it wasn't for that little blunder. As amazing and brilliant as he dances the routine, the choreography was awful. If it was a Showdance I would have given it a 9 or even a Samba a 7 but there was no content relevant to this dance style.

That was a LOT of intricate choreography and to see African dance and music showcased with such joy made my heart sing. Yes, even the mistake near the end was completely forgivable. Jowita really pushed Hamza with this one, but it was SO worth it! And that lift over Hamza's back blew my mind. I was like WHAT???!!! Loved it. Do this dance perfectly in the final guys! Love you.

What a talented recruit Ms. Jowita. You’re my favorite! And more power tou you Hamza! Keep up!

I am watching this dance for the umpteenth time. Wow! There are no superlatives to do this dance justice. They were simply amazing. I'm crying but they are tears of pure joy. This is dancing at its heart - free expression. Beautiful!

First time i have really sat up and noticed Jowita....wow!! That girl can move ...and that makes Hama look effortless! Love the tune also ....Yep ..finals here we come!!

You can just FEEL when these dances are special and this is definitely one of them. I’ve rewatched this about ten times and it still hasn’t lost any joy.

joy joy joy. for me. hamza is on another level of dance. i don't know if anyone can reach it again, or if anyone got there before. it's just him, his connection, his rhythm, his JOY in dance. what a star.
