Wow not just Layton, but this is by far the best partnership Nikita has had to really show how talented he is.
1000%
What I like best is that for all the tweets about how ”flamboyant” (read: gay) Layton is, Nikita is, you know, kind of a huge showoff. Compared with someone like, say, Kai, everything with him is pouting and hair-flips and “here, look at my abs” billowy shirts-and in all his previous partnerships, he’s kind of had to downplay that. With Layton, he’s finally dancing with someone who matches that “Check me out” energy and lets him cut loose.
@@thegabrielhyde so true and i am here for it!
Nikita is pretty much competing with Layton. He knows Layton can take the toughest challenge, so the performance intensity and professionalism on show is of the highest calibre. They are behaving like Olympic athletes on the same team.
Which one is the girl
Without a doubt, this is one of the best quicksteps on this show.👏👏👏
...best ever maybe.. Layton just makes you smile!
Best ever quickstep I've seen on strictly, I agree. The technical elements were insane. Unbelievable stuff.
Baby Jane 5 18 1, Laytons technique was amazing in this. Really good dancer! 👏
Best quick step I have ever seen.
Layton is a star!!! Nikita keeps proving his choreography is top notch. Love these two so much
Get this boy an EMMY!!!
Same he is quality
So unfair as layton is a professional dancer and actor.
Love both of them ❤❤❤❤❤
Layton and Nikita final winners 🎉🎉🎉🎉🪩🪩🪩🪩🪩
@@annefay6700he was asked by the strictly producers to take part, what should he have done? Say no.
I was worried about what some of the comments might say, because it’s two guys dancing together… but as a gay guy that always had to hide growing up because it felt ‘wrong’… I am so encouraged by the love for a purely awesome dance 😎👍
there’s surprisingly very little homophobic comments but thats because they’ve turned into the people who complain about dance experience. they’re using that to hide their true views.
@tureforest8297 Layton and Nikita are my favourites this year. Feels like I'm a bit of both of them. I'm gay(like Layton) and diabetic(like Nikita who's my favourite pro dancer)
I’m looking forward to seeing this again on Saturday.
@@clairefrier2353 me too. Go #TeamLakita
I am a straight female and two men dancing is absolutely brilliant. What I have a problem with is that Layton is a dancer he was in Billy Elliot and was trained when he was young which never leaves you I was a dancer when I was young and now I am a lot lot older I can still remember how to dance and I do.
It is grossly unfair, ( when the other finalists who are just as talented but started Strictly with no dancing experience whatsoever) that Layton should win ( hopefully not) and should not have been allowed to enter strictly in the first place.
It is so fun to watch them dance together. The skill, the musicality, the way they attend to each other.
WOW! Wow, wow, wow!! This is week 2, dudes! Slow down!! So good! No, AMAZING! And not just Layton's dancing ability. Let's talk about Nikita's choreography here! Wow!! Where did that come from, Nikita?! You outdid yourself! That choreography was spectacular!
absolutely stellar!!!!
I so agree my favourites to win
It must be great for the pro dancers when there are no limits to their choreography because their celebritity partner can handle anything ❤
This was INSANE! Sorry but are we in semi-finals week?!! What the hell?!! Amazing!
Thing is Layton is a theatre kid! He did everybody’s talking about Jamie (I saw it the one week he was off lol) and went over to America to tour on the show! It’s no wonder he’s good!
@@JaneSmith-xn1nbabout 10 million other comments say this too, we get it- you lot hate seeing successful people who aren’t straight or white! doesnt take away the fact they worked HARD and this is incredible.
@@the5thjudge Bravo !
@@the5thjudge why are you making this a sexuality issue? People are clear that they find his extraordinary wealth of talent and experience unfair. Nothing to do with his sexuality. This is not the first same sex couple and Layton isn't the first homosexual contestant on Strictly. Each time we've seen this on the show, they've been well received and adored by the voting public and now is the same. Pointing out Laytons obscene advantage doesn't make people homophobic
@@laalaa4303 “adored by the public” is not a sentence i would associate layton with. the public obviously don’t like him because the media has made a massive deal out of his experience but nigel, amanda and angela rippon all get out of it.
same thing happened with karim- got lots of unnecessary hate and nobody raised an eyebrow at kelvin.
despite AJ Odudu having NO dance experience- she was just a natural, she got a lot of bother on social media and rose sailed through perfectly fine.
louise redknapp didn’t have a smooth journey from what i remember but it was okay that danny had experience.
everyone was fine with faye tozers experience (even though she was trained in 12 styles) but ashley roberts posing on a stage was too much for people.
all the middle aged women adored will mellor but fleur was a problem?
i think its fairly obvious there is still a lot of homophobia, sexism, racism etc within the public.
In a later week, this would have been a perfect score dance, too bad it's only week 2! But here's to seeing many more incredible routines from these two!
Yeah people on FB were saying’why no tens?’ But it’s still only week two… hard to tell from that 😎
Layton is a natural. His timing is superb. Fantastic routine
Best choreography, best performance, best partnership by far! Simply brilliant!
Perfect combination of dance, song, music etc. Reminded me of Danny Mac & Oti's charleston from 2016 to 'Putting on the Ritz'
Just watched Danny Mac’s Charleston, which was excellent, but personally this performance outshines it.
In recent years on Strictly I've rarely gone back to rewatch dances. This is now the exception!
Amazing!!!!! ❤
I love it when the pro dancer has to dance their socks off as the celeb is so talented. Dance of the night!! 🎉
Love love, did'ent want it to end, best dance of the night. Well done you two.
I reckon if this had been done later than week 2 they would’ve got 10s in their score 🤷♀️
How many times have you watched this video?
Me: Yes
Just wonderful. My only complaint is I can’t stop re watching it.
That's like me with their Paso Doble! When their Charleston is put on RUclips tomorrow I probably won't be able to stop watching that!
I wish they had a ‘judges cam’ for moments like this. I could see the ladies stood up in the background at one point, but would love to see the full reaction 😊
Amazing dance!
joyous 🎉 this is the magic that you can create when you are free and not brought down by hate!
WOW WOW WOW. I've missed a lot of this series and am now obsessed with going back watching all of Layton & Nikita's routines, they are incredible!! This is absolutely amazing, I can't believe it's from week 2, looks like a semi final performance at least. And hands down my favourite choreography for a quickstep ever, the musicality is outstanding.
0:15 Layton's trousers grab was harkening to true Black-American dance styles. AMAZING!!!! The swagger and style was incredible. Loved all of it.
Brilliant Layton and Nikita 💯👏Loved it,love them. Superb,what a partnership❤❤
Judge's scores 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Craig - 9
Motsi - 9
Shirley - 9
Anton - 9
Total - 36
Apparently, it was too early for a ten from Shirley, but I bet there would have been a few tens if they had done this next Saturday.
Thank you for adding these. It’s appreciated x
@@woodlandbabiesAgreed! I don’t watch the live show because there’s just to much filling in and faffing around for what amounts to 22 1/2 minutes of actual dancing, so to be able to watch the dances and get the judges scores is perfect!
Thank you so much ❤
I just had a feeling before the dance started that it was going to be good and i wasnt disappointed, that was AMAZING well done Layton and Nikita 👏
No shade to Tilly and Ellie (who I both adore) but you can tell Nikita is having so much fun with Layton as his dance partner this year. He really gets to go all out on the choreo with him and it's lovely to see
I agree completely. Nikita was almost crying bless him. He's SO happy in this partnership. 😍
i just cant get over how incredible this partnership is. i saw someone say nikita looks like he isnt enjoying being partnered with layton and i just think that couldnt be further from the truth, hes clearly having a great time.
@@ky-kc3xv Nikita is loving it and he is a great teacher
@@essy1ablei can see why Layton said he was falling in love with Nikita. If Nikita was gay i would as well (i know he's straight
@@peterwilliamskelhorn6675 Layton said that?? Well yeah I can't say I blame him either lol.
Wow! Wow! This will go down as one of strictlys iconic dances. Mesmerising performance. Nikita’s coreography was brilliant. I just can’t stop watching it on Utube. Brilliant
RUclips*
How? I like it too. Please I also want to watch it there
For the longest time, my absolute favourite quickstep was Harry Judd's on season 9; it was deceptively difficult, his frame was top notch and his footwork was quality. I think Layton's takes the cake.
That quickstep was insanely good that was like watching a finals peformance and it only week 2 so impressed well done layton and nikita
I'm sure we'll be seeing it again in the final👌
Amazing and in week 2 - I'd love this to be Nikita's year, he has proven himself worthy since day 1
This is gonna go down in strictly history I mean four 9s on WEEK TWO. And Lakita deserved every single one of them! Dance of the night with ellie for sure!
Fabulous!!! Their footwork is lightning fast and pinpoint precise, and so creative and full of joy, fun and swagger!
Layton & Nikita are my number 1 🎉 and Ellie & Vito my number 2 🎉 and Bobby & Dianne my number 3 🎉 Despite everything, congratulations to Ellie & Vito. Layton & Nikita gave me the best there is every episode. I love them ❤❤
Score - *9/10*
Honestly I was tempted to give a 10, it didn't just slay the house down it SLAYED THE DANCEFLOOR DOWN, such strong topline and frame and so many tricks with difficult footwork with such flair and speed around the floor. I loved the Jazz elements at the beginning and the sharp locksteps and pendulum. The ending was incredible honesty just fabulous and almost very moving. I feel alot of connection and partnership with Layton and Nikita already. Potential winners written all over them 💅🏼
Can see the theatre in Layton.. he really is a star!! I’m not a strictly fan but I am a Layton fan, he’s bloody brilliant!
It’s not a 10 because Layton’s frame needs a tiny bit of improvement, in the shoulders and the back poise, but yes, completely agree.
9
WOW! It’s rare I pull out a 9 in Week 2, let alone Craig! Everything about that performance was amazing! Great footwork, great frame, very fun to watch, they’re the ones to beat right now!
The thing is I could literally watch Layton and Nikita for HOURS. These two PUT on a show, and as a viewer I can’t get enough. They have EVERYTHING, final HERE they come.
well who knows what's in store post-SCD ...
A Nikita and Layton tour lol
@@LovedByYouif there was I'd go. I don't bother with stories outside the programme(takes away the fun of strictly) but it said Layton might have fell in love with Nikita (i know Nikita is straight but if he was gay i probably would feel the same)
I could watch these 2 for hours.
@@clairefrier2353 me too
At 1:15 I just loved Layton's little glance at the judges, especially to Shirley and Motsi who were on their feet
Absolutely astonishing, had a real feel of the Nicholas Brothers, oozed class and synchronicity, timing was bang on and the flow around the room was brilliant. Choreography was complex and the partnership between them just clicks.
The sheer physicality was very reminiscent of Nicholas Brothers or Gene Kelly
This performance was phenomenal! So exciting to watch and such a charming duo! They really do dance well together, can't wait to see more!
Love you dancing you are brilliant zaldy love 🎵 ❤
For me personally Nikita is the best dancer that Strictly has ever had.... 🥂👏🥂
Yes and I also love Johannes...they're incredible!
They are amazing and this is an amazing performance with great choreography from Nikita. I just want to watch their dances over and over again because they are so good.
This is absolutely incredible. So amazing, I can't even find words for it. I don't even know, who's the pro and who's the layperson. It's second to none and for me already the champion!!! Bravo!!!
Nikita's CHOREOGRAPHY!!!! SUPURB!!!
Can I please give multiple likes?? Because the energy from those two are amazing! :D
I think that's the best Nikita has danced ❤
Should be straight 10s. Amazing!
Amazing partnership - love this dance, they are a joy you watch.
*_that’s_*_ how you close the show! Layton smashed it. And huge well done to Nikita for coming up with the choreography! It was absolutely sensational!_
Abosulutly fantastic Layton is a wonderful dancer my favourite x
Layton you are amazingly talented loving watching you ans nikita x
It’s like they are on their own show. The talent this year is very high. Many wonderful partnerships, but these two are truly special. It’s like watching two pros. Nikita must be so thrilled to not have to hold back. I just worry about the votes. Don’t assume they will be safe. Many resent having trained dancers on the show. The growth will be harder to detect compared to non dancers. I just feel that a final without these two would be a travesty.
I don’t care if Layton has had training, if I like the dance, I vote. Simple as that.
Lots of Strictly celebs have had some sort of training,so what. ?L and superb.❤❤
Still my favourite dance from this season! Hope they'll revisit it for the finals!
Everyone hope so
It could be the ballroom choice for the final, but let’s see how the Charleston will be, I get the feeling they will do an iconic Charleston because it is more Layton’s style
They are! 🎉 I was hoping for it too
Favourite dance of the night
This was exceptional.
I watch these two to make me smile
The essence of what makes Strictly so entertaining & compelling to watch is the casting of opposing camps - the pure novices & the ones who have had dance training to varying degrees (although not in ballroom/Latin). One without the other would be boring; & the viewers ultimately decide whether they prefer the week-on-week improvements of the total amateur or the experienced dancer (who can also find room to refine their technique). When a minority of the audiences decide to express outrage, I'm always humoured by their selective resentment. Jay McGuiness, Kara Tointon & Caroline Flack attended dance school; Louis Smith was an Olympic gymnast, yet nevertheless, they all still won.😊
You're hard pressed to find any actor or TV personality who hasn't had some dance training, especially the ones who have been to Italia Conti or similar. The thing is though that having a general knowledge of dancing isn't the full picture at all, you just have to listen to the celebrities say how confused they are because they were told to dance with bent legs one week and straight legs the other week, heel leads in one dance and then a complete absence of heel leads in another dance. And then if they get to the VW they have to deal with motion sickness! I find that I don't care what they have in their background, if I have enjoyed their performance then it's all good.
you said this perfectly -
Yup but he trained and has started in shows since he was a child. He’s also an acrobat. So you can understand the moaning.
@@Belfastboino, we can’t. its an entertainment show for gods sake, get over it. they’ve been moaning about it for at least 10 years and nothing has been changed, constant complaining won’t do anything. just let people enjoy it.
@@the5thjudge
And to be honest, the format was designed to have celebs that were a mixture of non dancers right through to those with experience. It keeps the show from being boring and at the end of the day, it's us who choose to vote who gets the final say!
What a partnership they have to win, surely?,
this was just absolutely phenomenal I can't stop watching it
One of the best Quicksteps I’ve ever seen!
What a razzle dazzle way to finish a fantastic show, a real feast for eyes and ears huge congratulations to everyone involved. You really know how to Put On The Ritz 🎉😊
Week frigging two amazing
Wow !! Wow !!wot a performance 💯💯👍👍there my favourite by far love these two 🩰🩰 2gether 😊😊❤❤
Fabolous choreography Nikita. Great Dance!
Perfect pairing , wow!
They killed it!! The best so far this season!!
Probably one of the best celeb dancers ever on strictly.
Now that is how it’s done. What a remarkable dance, he’s just so... just extraordinary at this. His footwork I thought was so good, the timing was great. I mean take a look at that. I mean where oh where does Nikita get these kind of teaching techniques- he’s just proved to him that he can dance and can he? Oh yes he can! ❤❤ These two are so good. This series is gonna be epic. Cannot wait for more to come! These two have potential. They are on the way to victory I reckon ❤ IN-CRE-DI-BL-E! ❤❤❤
Of course he can dance he's a trained dancer
Unfortunately he won't win, but hopefully he gets far. Having celebs who can dance is always destined, but you do get the most amazing dances from them
@@ebonyeyes1986obviously. Nikita is very good at teaching him. They are on the right track. I think they’ll last long enough
@@Bobisaliveabsolutely. No doubt about it! Yall are right ❤
@@ebonyeyes1986 oh please, pack it in, did you not notice how hard Nikita is working him in the training clips!!!! Layton does not know eery single move and its obvious Nikita is training him well in the things he needs to learn , they were simply outstanding .
Florida, USA. This team is amazing!
Y’all morning in the comments, let’s get this straight. Last year, there were no obvious contestants with training and guess what? It was boring as all hell. I think what people don’t understand is that the amateur celebrities NEED to see performance like these to give them the motivation to WANT to do better. If everyone is at the same level then there is no bar to aim for which results in less improvement (hamza is a great example, he was great but didn’t really improve that much from his salsa onwards). I am personally thrilled that strictly has someone as talented as Layton on their show and will be voting for him every week if he continues these fab performances.
This dance was my favourite and will always be
one of my all time favourite SCD dances and certainly the best since rose and gio
the moment the music started, i knew this was about to be one of the most iconic dances from strictly.
god i am a SUCKER for jazz so this immediately became one of my favourite quicksteps in strictly history.
This performance elicited a Holy Hell! from me. Brilliant.
I have no words!,, That was just absolutely a joy to watch. I want more more more please.
Just spectacular
WINNERS !!!! What can i say , these 2 are on Fire together, UNBEATABLE , i CANT stop watching it and i voted ONLY for these 2 , BRAVO BOYS !!!!
Absolutely awesome! Thank you for putting this on RUclips, because as soon as I'd seen it, I wanted to watch it again. (And again and again.)
Same here , absolutely Awesome
❤Layton and Nikita, just wow 🤩 🎉
Breath taking 🙏🙏
No surprise here! Great performance and to see a couple of professionals dancing
You guys stop the hating already and just give him his flowers.
@@taywithlove Nikita is training him, layton doesnt know every single dance move for crying out loud !
@@taywithloveso what if you're on the same course not every person can dance. Just because he trained doesn't mean every style he can do.
@@taywithlove exactly you just said it doesn't mean you're going to be a huge star. Leyton is good simple you continously leaving passive aggressive negative makes zero sense
@@thekid8224 jeez I only stated at the beginning we were watching 2 professionals because we are, the rest it defending myself because you don’t like my opinion.
I can’t stop watching this is so brilliant
Layton absolutely SMASHED this out the park I mean come onnn if this same dance was performed later on in the weeks it would’ve been straight 10’s across the board!!!
Fantastic!! Best dance by far on the night!!
This is exquisite dancing! I truly wish the dancing was like this in the USA on DWTS!!
#lovelaytonandnikita❤
AMAZING OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! absolutely adore them
JAWDROPPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤. 12.000 points from the Netherlands
Excellent performance attack on the choreography your posture is incredible....✨👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽😉❤️✨✨✨.....
Like so many people here, I am sick to death of seeing people moaning about Layton being an experienced/pro dancer, so I thought I'd highlight a few thoughts in the vain hope that people would stop and just enjoy the show.
Firstly, the pros are experts in ballroom & Latin, some of them holding multiple awards. In other words, they have trained their whole life in this specific field. Remember when the street/commercial dance style was first introduced? Some of the pros had never encountered that and were learning with their celeb partners. What I'm driving at is that the Strictly pros are competitive dancers, bound by all the rules, techniques and required elements of these specific dances.
The celebs are people who may or may not have dance experience but have not spent their entire lives training to become the best competitive ballroom/Latin champion.
If you are going to continue to whine about Layton's dance experience, then make sure you add Angela Rippon & Nigel Harman (an Olivia award winner by the way) along with all the other celebs who've had training in dance/musical theater.
All I'm asking is for people to stow their personal prejudices and just enjoy the show for what it is, a light entertainment show.
Layton is so intentional with his dancing, technically on point👌🏾
Just outstandingly amazing!
One of the best quicksteps in strictly history . 👌🏻🙌🏻🪩
Absolutely brilliant !! week 2 ??? !!....should have been four 10's... a may zing !!
Fantastic ❤ it harks back perfectly to the likes of Gene Kelly and the Nicholas Brothers
I absolutely loved this. Everything about it was excellent. I’d have given a 10.
Fantastic !
My favorite❤❤❤❤
Spectacular! I was gonna say wow but someone beat me to it 😆
So good. Absolutely in love with Layton & Nikita just the BEST partnership. The energy Layton brought to this quickstep made it for me. Technically it was sublime & that's very challenging to achieve. It was tremendous 👏👏👏
Team Lakita ❤❤❤ love these lads so much.
Absolutely amazing.
Wonderful dancing. SO entertaining...can't wait to see their Paso
