I'm still watching this dance today years later, it gives me goosebumps. It's the best performance I have ever seen on strictly for me. The theatre the production just everything was on point I can't get enough if it. Whether or not it was technically perfect I dont care, it entertained me and it deserved tens all round and the way they looked at each other at the end still in total character mode was jaw dropping.
My jaw dropped after seeing this performance!!! The music, the stage setting, the choreo and her dancing was just OUTSTANDING!! She deserved more than one 10 as it was her best performance, and the best performance of the night!!! Again she was underscored! If this didn't get 4 10's what will?
Anita is by far the best celebrity dancer who is growing better and better by the week. She is underscored. Tonights performance was definitelt 10 10 10 10.
How this does not get a 10 still baffles me. For me personally this STILL is one of the best Pasos Strictly has ever had (and thats excluding the whole thing that this was in Blackpool).
This Paso had so much passion and intensity, well done, best dance of the night..should have been all 10's!! Anita is really growing as a dancer and did so well.
I LOVE the dance!!!! Gleb provided the perfect opportunity for Anita to Shine!! She was magnificent!!! How a non dancer did this dance is profound as she has become so worthy of this title and is now an established dancer. I am so inspired by her. She gives her all. Gleb is an AMAZING dancer, teacher and you see the pride on his face in Anita.s achievements. I see his passion, for her success. Breathless!!! Thank you Both xx
Right in character even after the music stopped!.So dramatic and thrilling.I know very little about the technique but I know everything about how it mesmerised and captivated me. Great job, perfect music. Splendid!
+Scd Observer Jamelia dancing to I'm a Believer, the Jive from Chelsee's movie week gave me serious Series 9 flash backs. Same thing for Anita's Quickstep song being the same as Harry Judd's Quickstep
Kat R I have to say Graham’s comments on his October 16 post and his friends comments have caused so much pain and trouble! Mistaken identities! Revenge, hatred, and violence. I think it needs to stop ✋!
One of the best celeb dances ever, one that you will remember, as usual they have been under marked, this not only should have been top of the scores but someone in the Beeb made a bad mistake by not having close the show, it's one of the biggest audience reactions I've ever heard, even during it and was clearly the best recieved dance of the night, brilliant ( and the music was outstanding, best I've heard ever on the show)
Stunning pasodoble performance Anita Rani! Gleb is one amazing professional dance teacher. Anita has no formal dance training and she is super amazing consistent in her dance performances.
This was the best Paso I've seen on Strictly. Anita should have been scored 10's!!! I was on the edge of my seat...pure brilliance...Well done Anita! You are fab...go girl
Anita deserves to win the whole series for how consistently she is under marked , nobody expects a 10 from Craig yet ... but realistically this was worth 9-10-10-10. And if Craig had dusted off his 10 for this , nobody could say it was not deserved. Disappointed in Len and Bruno though. Lens enthusiasm during his and Darcys critique seemed to suggest a 10 would be coming..but no. But Congratulations to Anita and Gleb for performing so well , and to Gleb for such delicious choreogrsaphy. Also bravo to the producers for giving them traditional music.... i don't like when they dish out experimental genres. This was such a treat to watch. Bravo Vicky Gill and gang for such lavish costuming too. A Treat all round !
Richard Coombs thanksgiving to Harriet and Peter for my reflexology course! And well done Phoenix Gill with your demonstration and Daniel Charles for your input Innocent and blind I 🙈
Astonishingly good and, arguably, should have been four tens. For someone who I understand has had no previous dance training, she would now easily pass for a professional.
What a dance! Reminds me of Susanna and Kevin's stunning spanish paso back in 2013! And Anita finally got the scores she deserves! Passionate, sharp, amazing! I'd say definitely a ten worthy perfromance
I thought this was PHENOMENAL and I was convinced it would get 10s across the board.For me the consolation was that Darcy gave a 10 and then that Karen Hardy (who I respect greatly) on 'Strictly - It Takes Two', went nuts for it, exactly as it deserved. Check out her comments on BBC i-Player (series 13, episode 42).
Anita and Gleb's Paso Doble was definitely the dance of the night. They should have closed the show with that routine. Even with 37 points they were still undermarked!
+Tracey-Ann Wisdom This is the best dance I have ever seen on Strictly, apart from the funny ones and funny interactions with the judges. Breathtaking theatre and fun! Fab! ; ) K
Faye was so good and they did have a good partnership, but really missed out on the chemistry on dances like the Argentine Tango, Paso and Rumba for me
@@potdog1000 It is only because she is not the female equivilent in physical beauty to Gleb they need such a female to even it out and take the wind out of glebs sales a bit .;
The most dramatic and theatrical performance of the entire series, if not ever on Strictly! Like Scd Observer said, Anita had fantastic arms in this Paso, almost like Indian dancing and she played the part so, so well. The extra dancers weren't necessary (but hey it's Blackpool!) and the dance would have flowed much better if Anita wasn't on the floor so much, especially at 1:20 (illegal lift?) and 1:33. But for pure drama and entertainment, it was amazing. I would have given a 9, maybe 10 if I were emotional. I would love to see this in the final without the extra dancers, but just Anita and Gleb, to see if Gleb would put more content in and Anita less on the floor.
My first impression when I saw Gleb knee sliding into view, I thought "What on earth did the costume department do to strap the male dancers in those ninny straps?!" When mercifully Anita brought the jacket to Gleb to cover that monstrosity, then the actual BEEF begins, and what a prime cut that is! Beautiful hands and fingers articulation (reminds me of those animated finger gestures in those classic Indian dancing?!), beautiful arches (Spanish lines), it has all. Marred by those silly and unnecessary backing dancers in those silly straps, but that aside, I would easily award this a nine! Who knows, without those time-wasting bits from those backing dancers, it could even be a ten...
Estella Hunter Ah well, Darcy is turning into a hot and bothered Arlene then! LOL. That scores from the judges were definitely well deserved, ten included (it wasn't their fault that the chief choreographer lumbered them with those unnecessary man flesh).
Estella Hunter Yeah, Gleb looks great with that proper Paso jacket on and frames her really well. This is one dance I feel he didn't overshadow her with gimmicky Gleb Special. Last wee it was the same, no Gleb Special. Maybe he's beginning to see Anita applying herself and becoming a proper ballroom dancer and so didn't feel the need to put in distracting stuffs like he did in the other earlier routines...
+Scd Observer I totally agree. In past weeks Anita has looked a bit overwhelmed by Gleb's grandstanding and intensity but now it seems she's coming into her own.
best dance of the night...sadly undermarked. should have been the highest score of the night....followed by Jay. the judges are making it clear who they want to win (ahem over marking georgia)
This should've been top dance of the week. Way more intensity, commitment, and craft than Georgia. Anita has been the best from Day 1, and needs to be rewarded for it here quickly. I guess I shouldn't be too worried because at this rate she will probably be back next year as one of the pros. ;)
+doglover12373 Georgia IS good, but Anita is... Anita! Just wish Anita, and Jay, and Kellie, and Katie, would get recognized for the hard work they put in, like Georgia.

And I am here in 2023, still in utter 👏🏼 😍
And me in 2024 …
So sensual. Hot! Hot! Hot!
This music always gives me goosebumps. And the paso was fantastic! 🎉❤
She totally smashed that!
This should have been in the BBCs Christmas Day run-down of the 25 best dances.
My jaw dropped after seeing this performance!!! The music, the stage setting, the choreo and her dancing was just OUTSTANDING!! She deserved more than one 10 as it was her best performance, and the best performance of the night!!! Again she was underscored! If this didn't get 4 10's what will?
STILL THE BEST PASO DOBLE EVER ON STRICTLY! !! can't stop watching years later
I watch this every year after there's a paso on the current season, it's amazing. Best Paso ever on strictly
God I’d forgotten how gorgeous Gleb savchenko is 😍 loved this dance - Anita was brilliant in it !
I couldn't take my eyes off Gleb, that man is utterly mesmerising.
The most beautiful man I’ve ever seen. Shame about the divorce.
Anita was lucky to dance with the handsome Gleb.
Anita is by far the best celebrity dancer who is growing better and better by the week. She is underscored. Tonights performance was definitelt 10 10 10 10.
This was the best performance of any BBC they deserve an Oscar for this dance .
IT SHOULD HAVE SCORED 10 - 10 - 10 - 10 - IT GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS.....
TOTALLY AGREE! Magnificent. Speaking of which, how can Craig use that word and still give a 9....
Lahore Rosenthal
How this does not get a 10 still baffles me. For me personally this STILL is one of the best Pasos Strictly has ever had (and thats excluding the whole thing that this was in Blackpool).
Love Anita's commitment, you can tell she is so completely in to the whole thing.
Once again Anita was UNDERMARKED!!!!!!!
Oh my, this had me in tears, so much passion. Thank you for this BBC, Anita and Gleb.
This Paso had so much passion and intensity, well done, best dance of the night..should have been all 10's!! Anita is really growing as a dancer and did so well.

+Tony Morris It's the same music when Pasha danced the Paso with Chelsee, and they scored multiple tens with this music too.
+Scd Observer Jamelia dancing to I'm a Believer, the Jive from Chelsee's movie week gave me serious Series 9 flash backs.
Same thing for Anita's Quickstep song being the same as Harry Judd's Quickstep
Avilst Yes! :)
The best dance of the night. Love Anita and adore Gleb. ..My gosh! what a handsome man!! I can't stop rewinding lol

Although this was a little while ago, Gleb is still the most gorgeous man I have ever seen in my life!

Totally agree with every word.

Innocent and blind I 🙈
Astonishingly good and, arguably, should have been four tens. For someone who I understand has had no previous dance training, she would now easily pass for a professional.
I have loved Anita from week one. It's great to see her getting the scores she deserves! I hope she will be doing this dance on the tour!
I even stopped breathing, so much drama and passion! It's 10 10 10 10 from me!
Best performance and deserved straight 10s. Anita's always underscored!
What a dance! Reminds me of Susanna and Kevin's stunning spanish paso back in 2013! And Anita finally got the scores she deserves! Passionate, sharp, amazing! I'd say definitely a ten worthy perfromance
I still watch this every now and then- the sexiest paso on strictly, ever!
After watching that again, it is a 10 from me.
This women has absolutely showed what she's capable of in this dance! Her arms and face are absolutely brilliant her face is a great paso face!
I love these guys, Gleb is so 😍
I love you Gleb...
Just watched it 5 times in a row👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Best routine ever on Strictly
Oh God, how have I missed this beautiful man?
When she helps him put on his Bolero it was so sensual. One of the best Pasos. Passion and intensity in abundance.
Fantastic Routine and it must be said the Staging , music and lighting were fantastic for the whole show and series as a whole..
gosh the drama during this entire dance! loved it
I thought this was PHENOMENAL and I was convinced it would get 10s across the board.For me the consolation was that Darcy gave a 10 and then that Karen Hardy (who I respect greatly) on 'Strictly - It Takes Two', went nuts for it, exactly as it deserved.

SO UNDERMARKED ITS UNREAL. I FEEL SORRY FOR HER AND JAY
This should have got 40, it was perfect, and I was drooling throughout the whole dance
This is what I want to see at the blackpool ! great use of the backup dancers as well !!
Anita and Gleb's Paso Doble was definitely the dance of the night. They should have closed the show with that routine. Even with 37 points they were still undermarked!
Miss DeeDee wow Dee Ireland! Seems like you must have fun at parties that I didn’t go to- at Newman!?
Anita nailed it. Fantastic!.
What happened to the other 10s?! This was pure brilliance!
+Tracey-Ann Wisdom This is the best dance I have ever seen on Strictly, apart from the funny ones and funny interactions with the judges. Breathtaking theatre and fun! Fab! ; ) K
OUTSTANDING!!! 10 10 10 10!!
Ooh Gleb, how handsome and marvellous 😮
i know! at that jacket was georgeous
She was brilliant and she deserved to win .
Wow! Loved this!!! Should have had 4 10s!
Wow what a performance it just took my breath away lol
Best dance of the series so far
This gave me goosebumps. Amazing.
Gleb is so bloody beautiful. It hurts to look at him.
Best Paso on strictly ever, I just watched Faye and Giovanni's and just came to check this one out again, yep, still the best.
Faye was so good and they did have a good partnership, but really missed out on the chemistry on dances like the Argentine Tango, Paso and Rumba for me
Very dramatic! I think Anita's improving so much every week. This was her best dance so far!
Yeah
I don't really understand why she's undermarked every week...
Cause they jealous of her and she gets to dance with Gleb lol
+musicguy20 i know right XD
+Isabelle Etiévant she should go to the next room where she might get a bigger score
don't you? Len never liked her, I'll leave it at that
@@potdog1000 It is only because she is not the female equivilent in physical beauty to Gleb they need such a female to even it out and take the wind out of glebs sales a bit .;
Anita and the gorgeous 😍 Gleb it was a shame for UK audience 😭 that Gleb only did one series of Strictly Come Dancing back in 2015.
Wow! Super!
Still the best ever dance done on Strictly
The most dramatic and theatrical performance of the entire series, if not ever on Strictly! Like Scd Observer said, Anita had fantastic arms in this Paso, almost like Indian dancing and she played the part so, so well.

Wow...Anita...Gleb...literally speechless last night....that was...intense....*faints
anita is fabulous but it's so hard to focus on her when gleb is there
lol right esp when he only had only those suspenders on!
BRAVA JUST SO DRAMATIC WOW !!!!!!!
Amazing paso great style Anita is great but Gleb ooo my god .
He’s just flinging her around. Love this dance
Really don't want to tempt fate but we need to get Anita to the Fin*l!!!!!!!! Love her!
I love the music and dance, Well done!!!
goose bumps ....
what a dance!
Anita Rani paso doble Malaguena uma maravilha parabéns.
Simply brilliant, they dance so well , poorly marked yet again though.
WOW!!! MAHA-RANI!!! AWESOME!!! 😍
Anita shines again but strictly remains a popularity contest rather than a technical ability contest...,
I know the judges or production will never let this happen.. but I want them to win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So perfect
fierce!
Remember when he quit Strictly after one series because he wanted to spend more time with his family but now he's on DWTS. Come back to Strictly !
Wow!!
ESPECTACULARRRRRRRRRR
unreal, spine chingling
Ahhh absolutely fantastic!!!
I really hope Gleb gets to do a paso doble with Jana on DWTS this year!
HERMOSO BAILARIN
Woah!
Hope they do this in the final!

+Scd Observer Haha, Darcy does seem easily distracted! Glad Anita got a 10 though. I think afterwards Gleb said this was his favourite dance.

She is damn good
Shameful Anita did not receive all 10's it was EPIC!
So powerful and sexy took my breath away wow,..should have been 40 score! Well done Anita And Gleb
Amazing
