Oti is one of the best pros we've had on strictly imo. Her choreography is excellent and as a teacher she really knows how to bring out the best in Danny (who is already a great dancer) I feel like she always brings something new and her own dancing ability is amazing!!
So true! Rarely any good salsas on stricly I'm afraid. That's why they always choose a pop song and add a little popping here and there to mask the actual dance! But this one was just as fun and good as the ones experienced in salsa clubs!
rhonda4333 You tend to see a lot of female celebrities excelling in the show such as Alexandra Burke or Caroline Flack. But Danny Mac is undoubtedly one of the greatest, certainly the best male dancer in Strictly history.
Danny and Oti are my favourite couple ever. Their joy, their skill, their chemistry…. I still get emotional when I watch them dance. Forever UNRIVALED ❤️❤️❤️
Danny has so much charisma, style, amazing footwork, such incredible technical ability, timing and so much content. The judges currently keep saying they haven't had as much talent as they fo now., Especially Shirley. I think they seriously need to watch this and other previous contestants. He was amazing. Cant understand why he didnt win.
I know Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton who won in 2016 were good, and Ore is a lovely chap and all, but really Danny Mac and Oti were just outstanding and so so good, and really beautiful to watch, I really wish they had won, every dance they did in the competition was just so well performed, and I loved their show dance in the finals, never mind...
I think some part of Joanne winning was because of Kevin as he is also one of the pros and having his sister on the show just seemed a bit weird. The thing is 2015 was his first year so that would mean this is his second year and.. I dunno the votings a bit rigged.
If Ore had danced to this level of difficulty with that technique and showmanship...the judges would have blown their loads and given him 100000000000 points...
Rewtaching this for the 20th or so time ... I gotta give props to the singer who did a great job with the spanish lyrics. The words were all said so clearly.. Bravo!
I don't love it as much as I love their Samba, but then again, NOTHING will ever be as hot as that Samba! Great job, my dear #TeamDoti! Wish with all my heart I could vote to do my part to get you guys into the finals and lifting that Glitterball.
Lol! That seems to be the case. Fortunately, the only new dance they'll be doing in the finals is the Showdance, and I know Oti is gonna rock the choreography in that one. I've been looking forward to that since week 1.
Tracey-Ann Wisdom I agree , great dance but not as good as that Samba. I think Oti wanted to concentrate on the intricate steps and feel of the salsa and leave that "Samba" , for what is it. In my opinion one of the most memorable dances in strictly history. Which, we will no doubt see in the final again.
Sandra Poku I think it'll take Oti & another sensational partner to top that Samba in another season. Just know they're gonna give her a clunker next series. It might be a while before she gets another partner of Danny's calibre. I'm hoping they reprise the Samba for the finale.
She couldn't have improved THAT much in one year. Lol! Her work was always good. It just shows better on Danny cuz he's got such amazing natural facility, and knowing that, she's able to take more chances.
What a stunning dance! Why on EARTH didn't they get the GB? He's got the right balance of lead and support, they both collaborate superbly, and they are 100% in tune. Dang! Wish I could dance that well 😀
Love everything about this dance! The music, the colours, the routine and the way it is danced. Such a great pairing. Just love the rhythm and vibe of this. So well danced.
GUYS PLEASE VOTE FOR THEM I THINK SOME PEOPLE AREN'T VOTING BECAUSE THEY KNOW HE IS SAFE BUT HE IS NOT !! he's obviously the best and I honestly am crying over the fact he was in the dance off - he has to win we all know it just vote for the gorgeous #doti DOTI FOR THE WIN
Danny is doing splendidly in Sunset Boulevard. He has just been nominated in the What's On Stage awards as Best Actor in a Musical! The show is in the Regional category and Ria Jones who plays Norma Desmond is in the Best Actress. Well done to all!
Yes!! Yes, yes, yeah!!! Finally I've found a Strictly salsa performance using actual salsa music and doing a lot of actual salsa :D The steps and turns from most of the first half you can find real salseros dancing in a club any night of the week. Awesome.
Go to 01:08 and put the speed to the slowest speed. You'll realise how in time that lift was ... it could have gone wrong so easily. Danny and Oti truly were the best
I am in the USA so I don’t know if Strictly comes on here, but this is my first time watching this video, and let me tell you. If it had not been for the fact that I already knew about Oti being the Pro. I would have had a hard time figuring it out which one of them was the amateur, because they both danced like Pros. There was a comment I saw where someone said how shocked they were that Strictly used an actual Salsa song during a Salsa dance. That is one of my biggest pet peeves with the US’s Dancing With the Stars show. They seldom use Salsa and Samba songs. I don’t understand why that is. Salsa dancing is best showcased when being danced to a Salsa song.
Hi Nikki. Your DWTS is the international licenced version of Strictly Come Dancing, which is an original BBC format. The (slightly odd) British name comes from the longest-running tv show the UK ever had, which was a dance programme called 'Come Dancing' (following the real amateur competitive ballroom scene) and the Baz Luhrman film 'Strictly Ballroom'. It is said to have been planned as a bit of a piss-take of ballroom dancing, but the pro dancers they recruited got together and determined to train their 'celebrities' so hard that they would actually put on a worthy performance and not allow the BBC to make fun of their art. I remember that first series and the winner (Natasha Kaplinsky) really did put on some beautiful performances. The competition has sadly been jazzed up too much now by the producers and for several years hasn't been a fair contest, but it really lifted ballroom in the UK for quite a while.
I'm also in the USA, and I started watching DWTS in 2010, and at this point I barely even enjoy the show anymore. Strictly Come Dancing is another story however. I started watching in 2014, first on sketchy websites in poor quality and now though better, albeit still difficult ways, and it's like day and night comparing the two shows. Strictly has this magic to it, this level of positivity and fun. There's none of that reality show drama that DWTS that show the couples fighting in the packages or anything like that. Its campy in all of the best ways, and while I'm sure its not all sunshine and rainbows behind the set 100 percent of the time (like any workplace) everybody seems to get along, support each other, and really want to see their competition do well. The quality of the dancing is much better, the dances longer and more reminiscent of the actual dance styles (as you no doubt have seen from watching them on RUclips). Every aspect of it is better than what Dancing With The Stars is now in my opinion. It's my favorite show on television, hands-down. I've gotten laughed at for saying that, and I know it's a 'reality show', but when it comes on in the fall for a few hours every weekend until December I forget how heavy and ugly this world can be and watch these master performers work their art, and watch folks start out new and uncertain and grow every week, celebrating every moment of growth, every moment of healing and vulnerability to a point where they're getting 10's and smashing it; it's just magical. It warms my heart and makes me cry happy tears. I hope the show is on forever.
I liked this, it was a much more self-assured and contained performance than the samba, which I did enjoy. This guy is so capable. I would challenge some professionals to do a double turn and a drop on-time.
Suspicious Windmills actually there was plenty of hip rotation. What you meant is specific 'figure eight' a very specific hip rotation. However, the person you support religiously... Ore...Ore's lacked the figure eight movement massively, even more so than Danny's routine.
Scarlett Rosa I was just quoting what the judges said, and they said something about hip rotation. And I agree, Ore had less figure-8 action than Danny but neither of them were perfect.
The difference with Danny and other celebs over the years is that he is the only one who excelled in all dances where others have had great routines but not all.
Danny proving that it's possible to be too good to win.
Exactly!! He was just a professional at this point 😂
I STILL revisit their dances. Danny will forever be the one that got away
Oti is one of the best pros we've had on strictly imo. Her choreography is excellent and as a teacher she really knows how to bring out the best in Danny (who is already a great dancer) I feel like she always brings something new and her own dancing ability is amazing!!
I cant stop looking at her legs
שששששששד
Guys this is not her choreography!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She’s brilliant love her
Thats how we south african girls do it! Yessss girl
Actual salsa dancing to actual salsa music on SCD, it's a miracle! ^^
So true! Rarely any good salsas on stricly I'm afraid. That's why they always choose a pop song and add a little popping here and there to mask the actual dance! But this one was just as fun and good as the ones experienced in salsa clubs!
And a song from the King of Salsa too.
I do wish they would save the pop songs for Cha-Cha-Chas and use more traditional salsa music for salsa
No one can ever be as great as Danny Mac, he was a natural and was robbed.
Kelvin isn't far behind from Danny as he has also been consistent every week but I think that might be due to Oti being an amazing choreographer.
rhonda4333 You tend to see a lot of female celebrities excelling in the show such as Alexandra Burke or Caroline Flack. But Danny Mac is undoubtedly one of the greatest, certainly the best male dancer in Strictly history.
Danny is much better than Kelvin imo
@@beal1260 i agree. Among the celebs who have joined Strictly, he's one I keep rewatching.
hes personally the second best celebrity on the show behind ashley roberts for me.
Danny and Oti are my favourite couple ever. Their joy, their skill, their chemistry…. I still get emotional when I watch them dance. Forever UNRIVALED ❤️❤️❤️
Probably THE best couple we've ever had on Strictly!!
Certainly the best!
Danny has so much charisma, style, amazing footwork, such incredible technical ability, timing and so much content. The judges currently keep saying they haven't had as much talent as they fo now., Especially Shirley. I think they seriously need to watch this and other previous contestants. He was amazing. Cant understand why he didnt win.
I absolutely love Oti! Her talent is unparalleled! ❤️❤️❤️
I know Ore Oduba and Joanne Clifton who won in 2016 were good, and Ore is a lovely chap and all, but really Danny Mac and Oti were just outstanding and so so good, and really beautiful to watch, I really wish they had won, every dance they did in the competition was just so well performed, and I loved their show dance in the finals, never mind...
Ann Best me too
I think some part of Joanne winning was because of Kevin as he is also one of the pros and having his sister on the show just seemed a bit weird. The thing is 2015 was his first year so that would mean this is his second year and.. I dunno the votings a bit rigged.
@@aifozsies 2013 was Kevin's first year
If Ore had danced to this level of difficulty with that technique and showmanship...the judges would have blown their loads and given him 100000000000 points...
Voldemortslostnose Hear Hear!!!!
Most incredible lifts I've seen on strictly!
Agreed!!!
Rayychul Humphreys u kidding me on he nearly dropped her
+Ariana Grande When?
Watched it about 4 times looking for where he nearly dropped her and just cannot see it.
1:13 maybe? I don't know for sure, but it looks a little like an almost drop.
Oti’s choreography is out of this world 🌎 and Danny should have been worthy winner 🏆!!! 🤩😎🤩
Rewtaching this for the 20th or so time ...
I gotta give props to the singer who did a great job with the spanish lyrics. The words were all said so clearly.. Bravo!
De verdad 😂
I think Danny and Kelvin have been the one and only dancers that have been exciting to watch they are the best that's ever been on strictly for me.
It’s not healthy how many times I’ve watched this 😂🤷♀️❤️
And that's okay, because we're in the same lifeboat x
Ditto me and their Cha Cha
I hear this song on holiday 😂
The natural ease of his dancing is a joy to watch. It's like he's not even thinking about it.
THE BEST!!!! Oti is the best choreographer ever and danny implements every Dance PERFECTLY!!!
So fun. Oti's choreography have been amazing all season.
The chemistry between these two is exceptional
Oti Mabuse is the best dancer I've ever seen on strictly come dancing. I adore you girl. You are a star.
Miss Otis so much on strictly. She definitely was unique
Like many others, I keep coming back to watch these two dancing together. It’s so joyful
I can't stop myself from smiling at 1:28 every time I watch this. Them dancing together just radiates joy :)
Hearing this song on holiday in Mexico made me think of this dance. Loved Danny and oti
Lol they play this song everywhere in Mexico. I too think of Danny and Oti 💚💚
I don't love it as much as I love their Samba, but then again, NOTHING will ever be as hot as that Samba! Great job, my dear #TeamDoti! Wish with all my heart I could vote to do my part to get you guys into the finals and lifting that Glitterball.

Anthony wasn't bad. He was hampered by the fact that one of his arms was injured - I think he'd just done surgery. He had great potential.
She couldn't have improved THAT much in one year. Lol! Her work was always good. It just shows better on Danny cuz he's got such amazing natural facility, and knowing that, she's able to take more chances.
These two...they gave me life! best male ever
Ngl I was watching Oti most of the time WOW what a dancer (and Danny too ofc)
Who's reliving and still enjoying this in 2019? Also brings back memories for me of a holiday in Cuba, this song was massive over there.
Thank you Patience and a Merry Christmas to you
Where you msng from?
It's lovely to see Oti in the semi finials this year, and Danny of course ;) x
Under marked is an understatement.
they just look amazing togsther.. love them. Danny ang Oti to win!
Nice Dancing Oti & Danny. Enjoyed. Thanks.
What a stunning dance! Why on EARTH didn't they get the GB? He's got the right balance of lead and support, they both collaborate superbly, and they are 100% in tune. Dang! Wish I could dance that well 😀
Love everything about this dance! The music, the colours, the routine and the way it is danced. Such a great pairing. Just love the rhythm and vibe of this. So well danced.
Mẹo Gould, everything you said for me. 100 %
He is really such a gorgeous man! and oozes so much talent
GUYS PLEASE VOTE FOR THEM I THINK SOME PEOPLE AREN'T VOTING BECAUSE THEY KNOW HE IS SAFE BUT HE IS NOT !! he's obviously the best and I honestly am crying over the fact he was in the dance off - he has to win we all know it just vote for the gorgeous #doti DOTI FOR THE WIN
They have to win!
Kirsty Mitchell I agree amazing
The singing was as stunning as the dancing. I don't think the singers on this show get enough credit.
Finally a proper salsa👏🏼👏🏼
This is an absolute winner!
They are the best!! GREAT JOB!
2019 after watching Kelvin? 😂
Yup. Over and over and over.Then the Samba, then the Argentine Tango, Then......etc. etc. etc.
@You Tuber where is this planet you say? I would like to order one Danny please
😉
2020 after watching Bill
Danny Mac is the greatest Strictly celebrity of all time!
Another Danny and Oti video I will be watching a lot! Hope they're in the final. Excellent again.
I've watched a few of their dancing videos so far and honestly these two look like they are having so much fun dancing.
Danny is doing splendidly in Sunset Boulevard. He has just been nominated in the What's On Stage awards as Best Actor in a Musical! The show is in the Regional category and Ria Jones who plays Norma Desmond is in the Best Actress. Well done to all!
Yes!! Yes, yes, yeah!!! Finally I've found a Strictly salsa performance using actual salsa music and doing a lot of actual salsa :D The steps and turns from most of the first half you can find real salseros dancing in a club any night of the week. Awesome.
Oti is my favorite pro. Love her choreography!
OTI AND DANNY MAC SHOULD HAVE WON THAT YEAR!!! BEST MALE CELEB DANCER!!
She is simply the best
JUST HIT 2 MILLION VIEWS AFTER 5 YEARS 🎉🥳🍾
OTI is fire!!!! Can't get enough of these 2 dancing......
Oti's so flexible! It amazes my eyes! I think the Strictly last year has been my favourites series so far, I miss it :(
He danced his samba better but for some reason I loved this one more. He came across way more confident in this dance x
Looney Longbottem ....that's so true...
I love these two... 😍
Go to 01:08 and put the speed to the slowest speed. You'll realise how in time that lift was ... it could have gone wrong so easily. Danny and Oti truly were the best
Danny has such a natural flair for dancing
Oti brought out the best in Danny
I'd give him a 9 or 10 cos I personally loved it and the lift at the end was brilliant.
Oti is the best female dancer... can't help but just stare at her dance. Superb.
They are both outstanding
she’s so gorgeous omg
Wow!!!!!! Goose Bumps!!! Increible!!! Belleza! GRACIAS!!!💛💛💖🙏🧡❣❣❣💥💥💥💥💫💫💖💛💛💛💫
Omg!!!! This is amazing!!!!!! One of the best salsas that I have ever seen!!!!
Damn, you have to win this if there's any justice in this world.
He is so strong and bold as a dancer. I love how you can see Oti is giving him her best work
They are such a joy to watch! Amazing dancers, both of them and Oti is an incredible teacher and choreographer!
10 points from Poland! AMAZING ❤
This just look joyful :) since 01:26 it just looks to me like 2 people having a great time and enjoying music and dancing. Awesome :)
AMAZING! All I have to say.
Tony Adams has a salsa this week, he should take a look at this for some tips!!!😉

Those Lifts 😍👌
I love it. The technique and effort he puts into it is amazing
I really like this cover of the song, wish there was a recorded version.😞
The best dancer strictly has ever seen......
Best couple ever!
I liked this, it was a much more self-assured and contained performance than the samba, which I did enjoy. This guy is so capable. I would challenge some professionals to do a double turn and a drop on-time.
HOW WAS HE NOT TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD? DO THE JUDGES NOT HAVE EYES???!!!
Didn't have enough hip-rotation
Suspicious Windmills actually there was plenty of hip rotation. What you meant is specific 'figure eight' a very specific hip rotation. However, the person you support religiously... Ore...Ore's lacked the figure eight movement massively, even more so than Danny's routine.

Danny is sooooo cute 💗
Nov 2019????!!! Anyone else!?
Oti always makes my jaw drop!
can't get enough. i so love this dance! love love love oti and danny mac
Love watching these two
Vivir mi vida and time of my life are one of my favorite salsa songs
I went on holiday to the Dominican Republic, Punta Cana and they always played this song on when you was by the pools, it's was beautiful there tho😍
The difference with Danny and other celebs over the years is that he is the only one who excelled in all dances where others have had great routines but not all.
Waou, the choreography is just wonderful.
2019 Oti and Danny are still the best
I have never seen such a good salsa. Congrats!
What????? Fabulous. I have just found this show on RUclips and its a 10 for me. Wow what amazing dancing
I love this song
Danny and Oti should have won the final, they were robbed and Oti is a brilliant choreographer, hope strictly brings her back in 2017.
Just saying - it would be really nice if Strictly could actually put this dance in the playlist with everyone elses??
Her legs are absolutely insane
2022.. still so memorable ❤️💃👌
They have to win
Oti and Danny 💕💕💕👀👀👀you are the BEST
He's good isn't he?
Armwork was clean as was his hips! I would've liked a little more impact in some part but the lifts were amazing.
9.
Anyone else wondering why she didn’t win in this year?
😭 😭 😭
Because the public are stupid. !!
I agree 💯 %
Because the BBC was warned that it was not being PC enough. Look back at a list of previous winners and you'll see.
I was just thinking the same. They are brilliant
Well she won 2019
