So wish they still did dances like this. I don't mind some of the themed ones, but I wish they'd do some proper, no bells and whistles ones occasionally. We never get to see actual jives or quicksteps or tangos anymore - it always has to be a Latin hybrid.

The other week at Strictly 2021 they did one which was just a ballroom dance.

I agree. I miss strictly being an actual DANCE competition with the proper outfits. Now it's just an entertainment programme. When we had the old format it made the theme weeks that more special and appreciated. I used to look forward to them, now it's basically another week.

I loved Strictly back then. The pros all had personality and the dancing was entertaining no stupid costumes every week! It was a true dance competition.

Here in 2022 and I still say this is the best professional jive dance ever!

Here I am at the end of 2023 and I've made a special effort to find this particular dance because I love it so much. Routine was simply sublime. Love (and miss!) every single one of them. What a routine!

Watching in 2022. They don’t do group dances like this anymore. I miss a lot of the old pros. You can’t just watch this once xx

My favourite professional dance ever - I wish they were still like this.

The professional dancers were absolutely superb and I remember all their names as they were proper stars 🌟 The professionals now are good and probably have more variety, but I doubt I'll remember them all in ten years or so. I adore this group jive 💞

You are spot on 100% these are proper dancers my hero’s I watched at Blackpool

Strictly producers need to watch this - Amazing!

Those were the days!!

oh my gosh they're really talented aren't they? i've been watching this over and over.. it's really brilliant

This is my favourite pro dance in strictly. Everyone is giving it their all, and they are all proper ballroom dancers, unlike now, when the influence is far too much back row of the chorus in a show at the end of a pier somewhere. The glory days of strictly are long past, unfortunately, but this always cheers me up when I view it online

I think this pro dance was from 2007? I never tire of watching it. Still yet to be bettered!

Matthews kicks & flicks still mesmerise me

Nicole Cutler ….. amazing 🤩

I wish they still did pro dances like this! Much better when it's just dancing and no gimmicks.

I would love to see a reunion of all the previous professional dancers and the show could be dedicated to head judge Len, now wouldn’t that be nice 👍🏻 👍🏻

Fabulous. I wish the pro dances were more like this nowadays. Pure brilliant dancing, no gimmicks.

I think this is best group dance, even after 7 years, I still think of this one.

+mccarraa I agree. What I love about this is the way that every couple is given their own bit to do and no one hogs the spotlight . I think Nicole Cutler actually chereographed this - that poor lady never got her due on the show. It's also pretty astonishing the speed at which her legs move such a shame she never got a good enough partner to show what she could actually do.

Absolutely fabulous, loved them all and know all their names. ❤

Would love to see dances like this again .this is fabulous..feel todays pro dancers arent a patch on these guys

Bloody brilliant

I love the pro dances they have now with the big production and concepts but I miss pure dancing like this, it really shows how phenomenal the pros are

Probably the best jive by anyone in Strictly history, incredibly complex with the circle and constantly changing partners…….every dancer was on their A game.

Nice to see the old faces - the whole show seemed to be more professional then, not so ego-driven.

They need to bring these type of dancers back

My entire life, i have only witness this group. It’s top notch with so much energy and love what they so.

Most watchable pro dance ever! I'm back for another viewing, as per every 3 months or so! Well done Matt and Nicole for the choreography, and to the whole team for performing it with such verve.

The Strictly of today could learn a lot from this performance. The professional dancers were wonderful and I loved watching them. Please can we go back in time as it was so much more entertaining?

Totally mesmerising. Best group dance ever. I was trying to think of the original couples....remembered most of them. Shows how production has changed, couldn't really make out their individual faces whereas now the clarity is amazing....More, more, more please.

Absolutely fantastic! One of the best group dances ever.

Wow . I'd forgotten this ❤❤

Lilia and Ola's shimmy to each other is the best bit. So cute!

Some of my all time favourite dancers how classic 👍💯

Mine too. I was really upset when Matthew, Darren and Ian all left the show at the same time. This dance is brilliant. I'm not sure what the show has lost but it just isn't the same now.

Love this wish the groups dances were still done like this you can see all the dancers great how they have there own section.

Masterful, commanding performance. This is my best dance of strictly of all times. It is a beautiful unfolding story line and the music by Billy idol is his best ever. Everytime I watch it, I get goose bumps. I love all the dancers and miss the ones that are absent like Nicole. Brendan's entrance was spectacular. Love it, love it, love it. It's a five ***** performance.

The very,very best .

Still the best 12 years on!

Still watching it in 2017. One of (if not the) best...

I miss these dancers!

this is definitely the classic cast, but time moves on and I love seeing the new talent come in. plus i would say talent in the celebrities has got higher in recent years.

That was so good. I still remember the moment clearly.😍

Brilliant!!! ✨️👏👏👏

Insanely good ❤⭐️

I agree i miss the proper dancing as I call it. They were all true greats bring it all back in style

I seen many jive dances and they all professionals, but this dancers are the best. They move like one, and the song of Billy Idol match wonderfully for jive.

Wow, these people look like they're flying! Thanks for this video!

They don’t have dancing in strictly like this any more plus these were great professional stars

All my fave dancers, how i miss this:(

Best profesh jive everrrrrr

FANTASTIC XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXGave me goosebumps LOVED it.

Absolutely fantastic!!

Love a good jive this is what the show is good at instead of in-descript dances.

This dance will always be my fav

Amazing!

How clever are the women dancing in high heels!!

Lovely to see these dancers again 😍

I love to watch superb dancers, since I'm such a clumsy clunk myself. I have always envied people who can dance.

it`s amazing the way those girls dance with high-heels

LEGENDARY

Strictly is not what it used to be back them loved everything dancers judges

This is so incredible.

I personally think the 2 best pro dancers ever are Karen Hardy and Matthew Cutler

The best performance, what ever seen before!!!

Perfection. Could the current pros do this dance? I don't think so.

Brilliant. Dancers much better then.

Brilliant!!!

Loved that dance at the time Love it now - the group dances of late seem to favour a mix of styles And I am SO impressed the women dancing all that in heels! Yes, the jive is up on the toes but still, I can barely walk in heels after 10 minutes

i love watching this ! its great (: x

I love this.

I miss this being the pro dancef lineup 😭 I love current dancers like Amy, Gorka, Johannes or Dianne, but you can't beat dancers like Darren, Lilia, James, Ola, Karen Hardy, Brendan, Anton and Erin!
