We are very glad that OTI is still involve with strictly. She is not just an amazing dancer but also a great choreography. Love it.

BEST OPENING FOR A LONG TIME!!!!!! Boy my beautiful Johannes, Johannes Radebe can move!!!!!!! Wish there were more dances like this!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVED THIS 🕺🔥💃❤️🕺🔥💃❤️🕺🔥💃

Great choreo from Oti, great dancing from the pros and guests and FANTASTIC Johannes Radebe taking the lead, what a beautiful, powerful and captivating dancer he is. LOVED this pro dance, thank you Strictly.

Congratulations to everyone involved in this brilliantly choreography by Oti Mabuse and danced perfectly by our JoJo. Best opening number for ages.

I love Jojo to bits and he is living his best life here! The talent on this show just astounds me every week...we are SO lucky to have this creative team on Strictly! They brought the heat of Africa to a cold UK Winter night ❤❤❤

OUT-STAND-ING!!! GREAT job, Oti, Johannes, and EVERYONE! THE BEST!

_As an African this made me so so happy! I had to replay the beginning a few times!! I loved it_

Jojo absolutely slayed that, such pure joy😍 but can we also talk about Lauren? She's amazing! She really stood out🌟

@@gerardsloan1593 she should just keep the hairstyle she loves and feels good in. No one should pester someone to look a certain way. There are many things that can make a woman keep short hair like impact of medication etc that makes your hair weak, so it will not be nice when people start pestering you to grow your hair. Plus she looks lovely with short hair

One to watch again and again. Best opening dance I can remember. Such joy and energy. Stroke of genius to get Oti Mabuse to choreograph, total joy from Johannes Radebe. What a beautiful soul he is.

Oti Mabuse, needs her own show with this beautifully choreographed dance. This dance is so uplifting right now it feels like life🎉❤😊

This just became one of my favourite group dances ever, absolutely phenomenal

THE BEST OPENING FOR THE LONGEST TIME!!!🎉love the Afro-latin vibes and glad to see that Oti is still involved with the show, you can tell with the South African music she used and of cause Jojo was AMAZING!!.as ever. Welldone Strictly so refreshing to see a different side#Proudly🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 ❤

LOVED THIS!! Johannes is captivating!! 😍🔥

I had to wait 7 weeks to see Jojo being the main dancer. Thanks God. He is a great dancer, mesmerizing and very entertaining coreography, indeed :D

I saw the Oti influence immediately in this choreography. I immediately remembere her dancing with Danny Mac & Kelvin Fletcher. This also gave Lion King musical vibe as well. Very enjoyable.

Wow Vito can also dance! Johannes killed it

❤❤❤

Brilliant

Jowita is dynamite in this! ❤❤❤❤

Oti just needs to come back full time this was absolutely fabulous 🎉🎉🎉

Loved all of it, and the 80's aerobics vibe at the end was ace, it looked like Kai whooped at 3:32 but that could have bene coincedental timing 🤣

Yes it was a good opening and Johannes can dance and good choreography….

Oh so good! What were all the songs?
