It's often said that a well-trained ballerina can dance anything, and there is not a ballerina on this earth better than Darcey Bussell. She is *perfection.*
Poetry in motion. She outclassed everyone on the panel as a dancer.
she has the grace that not even the professional dancers can match. Please do another dance on strictly darcey!!!
yes please please please
tedfaun erm... She was a professional dancer...
@@painstruck01 erm...I think he meant a professional ballroom dancer...
Darcey is simply dazzling! She is so talented and an absolute joy to watch!
Darcy Bussell was (recently retired) a prima ballerina with the Royal Ballet at Covent Garden and is a judge on Strictly. She obviously never took part in the competition - this was a demonstration dance which is why you have all the elements.
This woman is dancing perfection.
The pro dancers are all good on Strictly, but Darcey takes it to another level and she doesn't even seem to be trying!
She was a prima ballerina. And she showed off as usual and made a fool of Ian Waite.
I know the judges are well established and accomplished in the respective fields of expertise but it is great to have the chance to see one of those on the judging panel also dancing. A great performance..
Ah the beautiful Darcey. She was amazing. I have watched this clip so many times but only now leaving a comment. Lucky Ian to get that on his CV. Just look at Craig's face - sheer joy.
the best judge ever xx
That's why Darcey is the best female judge - ever - on Strictly. She knows her stuff.
So does Shirley Ballas to be fair.
She was the worst judge ever in SCD. glad she left
@@aleksandernowak3920 In what way was she the worst judge?
@@aleksandernowak3920 Rubbish. Are you telling me a prima ballerina didn't know her stuff? It was Alesha Dixon who didn't know what she was talking about!
@@TheAnn2shoes Agreed. And Darcey always gave constructive criticism and explained where they had gone wrong.
Her grace is utterly beautiful
This whole routine is so so beautiful. It was choreographed perfectly to show the technical abilities of both Ian and Darcey, as well as their emotion and acting skills. Amazing.
What rubbish.
No one is saying how wonderful Ian is here. Darcey of course is amazing too.
Come back Ian....we miss you
Too true.
i have watched this so many times, it is just simply incredible.
OMW she was outstanding
Darcy and Ian should perform every week. At least every other week. I love them both.
Darcey Bussell - You will never be known as retired! Your beauty and talent exceeds all others in the art of ballet! Hence, your name and image Is burnt into everyone’s mind for infinity! We all wish you and your family a very happy life ahead! Good luck! God Bless you and your wonderful husband, and kids forever! Peter
Pete Totaro well said! She is amazing!
Timber Affen - your absolutely right! Thank you for the reply!
Pete Totaro you're welcome, I'm a huge Darcey Bussell fan myself and think she is one of the greatest ballerinas of all time, if not the greatest x
yeah she's not bad eh?
Pete Totaro also

Have only just found this and it‘s instantly become my favourite. What an absolutely stunning dancer Darcey is. A beautiful dance from a beautiful woman.
this is so beautiful .Darcey you a the best !!!!
Ian is so lucky he got to dance with Darcey, she is so stunning *_*
Wish we saw more of the judges dancing, especially Shirley Ballas, been watching some of her videos from her competition days tonight and she is brilliant
Wow she’s a dancing goddess, some of those moves the professionals can’t even do on Strictly
Totally enthralling to watch. She is obviously a beautiful dancer, fabulous judge and seems such a lovely person.
Amazing! Just wow
What an astonishing creature.
Ian is magnificent with her.
Andrew Givens
Ian is magnificent full stop!
Fab-u-lous! They dance so well together with their lovely, long limbs. She has an amazing body.
She's such a good dancer, makes all dancing look so easy. She trained for a long time with the ballet company, it always looks very nice and graceful.
i absolutely love this dance!
A genuine pleasure to watch. Beautiful dancing.
Wow ! Just Wow!
Darcey is beautiful, an amazing dancer, and has turned in to a great judge on SCD (after her initial "yeah?" phase when she started)
Darcey..'A-M-A-Z-I-N-G'...!!!
Supremely talented, eloquent and downright sexy (and I don't mean Ian Waite) - Darcey makes 'Strictly' unmissable!
What a great dancer she is so good
It's like watching smoke move - utterly fantastic.
An American Smooth can incorporate any ballroom and Latin steps. This dance had beautiful paso, tango and rumba lines.
American Smooth has nothing to do with the latin dances, it can be based on any of the five ballroom dance styles - waltz, VW, quickstep, foxtrot or tango. This is a fabulous routine but it's technically a showdance not American Smooth.
this darling woman is the best dancer ever to put a pair of ballet shoes on , ive seen her dance several times i adore her looks and her beautiful figure xx Jane x
saw a lot of rumba in there but im pretty sure there was a bit of everything...absolutely amazing ... now thats what i call a showdance... wish she would do some more dancing in the result shows or something i could watch her forever. .beautiful doesnt do her justice. ..
Leah Mcfarlane sophia and the
There was also some samba thrown in, I could see shadow rolls..
Wow that was fabulous
OMG!!!! how good is Darcey and why have i never seen her dance before lol
Never get tired of watching this dance!
This was the dance the I am sure earned her some SERIOUS respect in the Ballroom. She is a prima ballerina and deserved respect regardless but there is a HUGE difference between Ballroom and Ballet. The pro dancers gave Alesha (Whom Darcey replaced) some serious crap cause she wasn't trained professionally. This dance showed that Darcey can take on ANY pro and come out on top. I love Darcey and am so glad she is a judge. This dance was a true American Smooth for those who don't get it. I loved ever second of it.
+LaneKSwenson I Agree. In fact, as guest principle artist at the Royal Ballet, she is often regarded internationally as a prima ballerina assoluta.

Ei
Very strange to watch a bloke being led by a woman.
So beautiful
Allways fancied Darcy Bussell, my perfect woman.
she is 43. dont kill her before she is old. but even at 43. she is in better shape than most people in their 20's! just pure class!
Chesca Beirne born in 1969 actually
Superb dancer.
This is incredible. One of my favourite songs of all time and one of my favourite, if not my favourite dancer of all time. So elegant, so beautiful, such great lifts. If I was a judge, that would have been an 11 for me. I love Darcey so much and I think she's amazing. She rocks. She is one of my biggest inspirations and I jusr adore her. A truly talented individual. Well done, Darcey x
No doubt, extremely talented dancer and perfectionist. But dont you think the lifts were a bit too provocative? In one instance, could clearly see her panties :o, But I am from India and maybe the norm is different here. Brilliant performance anyway
Spectacular.
just stunning xx
beautiful
Stunning performance.
That’s one class act.
Fantabulous!
Absolutely stunning
OMG she's amazing!
BEAUTIFUL...a great dance partnership!
No doubt great dance, but dont you think the lifts were a bit risque? could see her butt and panties when she was lifted in air. Hope her hubby is ok with that...lol
Just sensational what a amazing dancer she is x
So gorgeous!!
On a different note though I wonder if she finds it difficult dancing in heels after all those years dancing in pointe shoes.
Great band, great dancing.
Darcey, I love you. You are beautiful. I love your personality and the skill, love and finesse you put into your dance. You are a special woman, specially empowered by the Lord and probably lifetimes of practice in this art of movement. All the best to you and your loved ones.
I love that Ian put elements of everything in there, a little Paso, some rumba, tango floor work, spotted a samba roll at the end; I would call this a showdance more than American smooth, but beautiful nonetheless.
Darcey can dance anything you give her,even tap.Wonderful dancer and a superb judge ,comments given with kindness Love her.❤
amazing after her knee operations....Darcey you're a star!
Love it beats watching x factor any day the dance was fab
Given all the comments below - this is the pair of the decade!
Oh Darcey.........wow!
Best pins in the world - Darcey Bussell!
Absolutely love Darcy amazing❤
fantastic
Look at those extensions and lines. I miss her as a judge too 👌
What a beautiful woman
Respect!!!
I had the pleasure of seeing her as the Principle Ballerina when I was in my early teens. Amazingly talented. Watching this tho you can tell that Ballet is her primary disipline simply by the way she holds herself and uses her arms but still absolutely beautiful. Gutted I had to stop dancing she was one of my icon's.
well overdue another airing
A beautiful dance by the talented couple. Loved the synergy and passion between them. The climax was at 1.41, when he lifts Darcey on his shoulders, her legs danging upwards and then hem of her dress falling down. What a sexy lift, and what a daring show....
She's fit! That was hot. Beats watching Tulisa and Nicole spinning on their chairs on Saturdays.
Wow just love Darcy 🥰🥰🥰
Beautiful.
Wow!
Severrrrrn!!!
That's my Xmas present sorted. A Hayley Sanderson CD.
Immense !
Darcy is always very elegant even dancing
So beautiful it brings tear to my eyes. Love it
epitome of a dancer in one word darcey
OMG Darcey Bussell
Well done Ian too!!!
They just FLOAT
Why have I never seen this before 😮
Amo Amo Amo.
I've seen very goo before - this is excellence!
Fabuloso!
do you get extra points for flashing your panties ? Just curious
My ultimate woman
I think she's danced before by the look of her.
LOL - Funniest comment ever....
prima ballerina
+Terry Kelly ??!!????!!!!
Shirrana ha ha, I agree. She was definitely the greatest British ballerina of all time x
Timber Affen - I had the joy of seeing her twice, on stage... I was blown away!
WoW
I can die now! Dame Darcy, god damn!
Love Ian
😍😍😍
