This is why Shirley is known as the rumba queen on strictly! wish I could have performed it that well, in my dancing 💃 years, my late husband and I never really mastered the rumba! but we killed the jive! 😉
If you can find the lecture, on YT somewhere, that she gave on Jive technique (partnered by Riccardo Cocci) it's brilliant. And you can often tell by a dancers feet in the Jive, if they have taken instruction from Shirley :)
So glad I finally found my favorite dance performance on RUclips. I taped this years ago and watched many times. Her leg action was incredible, so sharp and graceful at the same time. No other dancers I have watched while searching for this dance performance could match her leg action. I absolutely love this and will be watching this over and over again.
As a life long dancer and appreciator of all genres of dance...watching this shows me how all dance evolves over time...the movements in the Rumba today seem much more exaggerated than this one by Shirley ... it's lovely to watch !!
Samantha Hamer ... I'm not a dancer as such but I did have dance lessons as a youngster. I've always loved watching dancing, especially latin and I wish I had stuck at it with the dancing. I know what you mean about how dances and dancers have changec over the years. I used to watch Come Dancing sometimes years ago and the dances seemed much simpler then, they have got much more expressive and pronounced as time has passed. I prefer how they are done nowadays personally.
It actually shows how todays dancers (I can only comment on the great Strictly team) are good but no where near as polished as Shirley and others from that era of dancing. Perhaps because the professionals being paired with non dancers, means we do not get to see their full credentials on the dance floor but boy, Shirley is the best head judge for the show, hands down. Respect.
Jeannette Burgess ... Yes, the pro's tone it down when dancing with the "celebrities". You should look at video's on here about some of the pro's in demo's and competitions, they are far from second rate dancers. Look for a funny video with Katya Jones and Neil for example, doing a ChaCha with a quick change. There are others too, and they are fabulous dancers.
What a beautiful ballroom dancers couple dancing.the Rumba! They let me feel swirling with them as.thry dance. So enchanting as though I'm in the midst of flowers.in the paradise. The musical background, La Playa is so sentimental to hear but then caresses my heart full of love. A great performance which deserves my full admiration.
Actually Shirley was more a Latin dancer than Ballroom ..obviously all dancers have to do both as amateurs , but usually have a speciality ..Latin was Shirley and Corkys..🇬🇧
I think Mark is done with DWTS (and by extension Strictly), he's focussed on his music with his wife. Same kinda goes for both Derek and Julianne - I highly doubt we'll ever see them compete on the show again. (yes, I know Derek is a judge now and I think it's a great fit for him tbh)
Shirley has had a lot of work done on her face since that video was made she looks younger now than she did then amazing what Botox veeners and wigs can do for you
1986 but looks more like 1976 for some reason. She might be good at dancing but I don't think washing your face with Marmite or old axle grease was particularly a good look!
How rude are you! It was a valid question from Corinne Woolley. In fact Shirley was subservient to her husband, by all accounts, as she could not take praise from anyone without having to mention Corky too, or he went into a strop. Donny Burns had an awkward moment at one of the shows regarding this. So to sum up, she would have no choice, she would have had dance for the USA as Corky dear, would not have been happy otherwise. Who is the halfwit now?
Why are you so triggered ? LOLOL. Well I did not know that if infact it is true ? How the F do you know all the dynamics of their relationship ? Were you hiding in their closet listening in ? STFU !

Hi! Doyouknow what song is this?
When she gives technical comments on Strictly, she knows what she is talking about
If you can find the lecture, on YT somewhere, that she gave on Jive technique (partnered by Riccardo Cocci) it's brilliant. And you can often tell by a dancers feet in the Jive, if they have taken instruction from Shirley :)
Dancing on another level....
Of course she does...that is why they made her Head Judge.
Not in Vick,s case, sorry
@@MsGrockle i think this may be it

Sparkling performance - loved it.
Yes great but doesn’t Shirley look absolutely fabulous now❤️❤️
A bit of Botox and filler works wonders
So graceful .. could watch her all night ..
Shirley Ballas had some form back then, she was fit!
She still does what a classy lady who knows her stuff
Caked it on a bit .
She still is considering her age! and a lovely women too!
She still is!
What an amazing performance.
There are 7 different types of rumba walks and you gave me 4 of them
Stunning !! Shirley has come so far x

Yeah, watch jowita and oti doing a dance with a guy together. They were amazing! Like insain!

Just found this on my computer; I'd love to see more of this type of dancing on Strictly, please!

Absolutely incredible!!
Wow! That was impressively done! 👏
she's amazing. they look like reeds swaying in the breeze.
Amazing figure, amazing rumba!
Thank you for sharing.
beautiful rumba ........
A great couple that can really dance....Shirley is from Wallasey, England, not America as it says on here.
Shirley danced for America for several years with her husband Corky Ballas.
@@bonnieprater5124 Still British. 😊🇬🇧
Just checking her out, in case she's the next judge on UK Strictly. And - WOW!
Ann TwoShoes - she is
Yes, sounds like a good choice
Omg the makeup!
She is stunningly good.
Wow! Perfection!
Was that 33 years ago? Wow!
So glad she's a judge on 'Strictly' If anyone can judge dance knowledgeably it's her
When ball room dancing was as it is supposed to be.shirley is elegant and strong dancer.wow
lovely dancing
True dancing queen ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Incredible ❤
she is amazing
Just watched this OMG nuff said
I didn't know Shirl actually competed for America!
She was married to one 🙄🇬🇧
Strictly launch show brought me here
An amazing lady still
I wouldn’t recognise her!
Cause she's hiding under a foot of makeup ?
craigk621 ha ha ha ha 😁
I think everyone looks very different today than they did 33 years ago.
Angela I wasn't even alive 33 years ago 😂
Angela but you are so right she was 25/6 here
Ohhhhh that's his parents! I was confused.
Wow. I didn't recognize Shirley.
I WISH I CAN DANCE ANTHING LIKE IT😃
Now that is what I call magic
Look at Shirley now - Judge on Strictly Come Dancing UK
Harsh!
Omg they were well good dancers OMG
well, they've trained pretty much EVERY professional dancer on DWTS and Strictly at some point (obviously especially Mark, Derek and Julianne)
Prefer this dance this sat on strictly
Wonderful, wonderful! Can anyone please tell me the music/artist?
Try Alfred Hause 'On a Tropic Night' also Francis Goya "La Playa"
Make up wise mind less is more... Bloody great dance mind!
In 1986 this was THE look for latin dancers. Fabulous dancer with both Mark Ballas and Sammy Stopford
Lord Debrick it’s stage makeup and 1986...normal rules don’t apply
Under those lights you need a lot of makeup otherwise you look washed out.. I know.. 😊🇬🇧
Mark so looks like his dad!!!
Beautifully danced. No wonder Shirley married him he’s gorgeous! I’d love it if Mark Ballas would dance on Strictly!
Bk G7
I think Mark is done with DWTS (and by extension Strictly), he's focussed on his music with his wife.
Same kinda goes for both Derek and Julianne - I highly doubt we'll ever see them compete on the show again. (yes, I know Derek is a judge now and I think it's a great fit for him tbh)
Till he cheated on her with Kriistina Rhianoff 🙄🇬🇧
WOW 👌
No fake tan then, just loads of make up!
Helana Keepsake I love hearing these stories thanks for sharing 😀
We wore fake tan back then .
You obviously haven’t danced competitively ..? 🙄🇬🇧
Wow!!! ❤❤❤
music from Norman Chandler orchestra The Playa
She taught him to dance and he treated her like shit.
Anyone know the name of this piece of music?
Love her ❤
Corky seems to do a lot less than Shirley as he just seems to be posing.
kpzcbttp It's the mans job to show the lady off in the Rhumba x
I didn’t actually notice him lol, transfixed on her! Suppose that’s as it should be
Shirley has had a lot of work done on her face since that video was made she looks younger now than she did then amazing what Botox veeners and wigs can do for you
How long ago was this as I don’t recognise her at all?
1986
Background music?
Please can anyone help with the title of this rumba track. I know it’s quite old as I remember dancing to it in the 80’s. Thank you in anticipation
There's not much Rumba content. All I see is the rotation and turning. I prefer the present modern Rumba to this old style.
O shirley 😀😀😀
Wow
Legggeeeenddddd
I prefer the dancers now!
Quality
TENNNNNNNN .... 😮
what is the title of the music that is used for this rumba
She's had some work done! Unrecognisable.
I have to do that at my school play pls send help it is my ex 😂😢😭
Rat masked singer 😅😅😅 still so shocked!
😊
SEVEN!!
Vincent and flavia have much much more passion though!
she looks dylanny.
Darcy Bissell I an wait dancing
Bad fake tan!😂😂🤣🤣😂🤣
She needs to lighten up on female competitors in SCD; way too harsh at times!
1986 but looks more like 1976 for some reason. She might be good at dancing but I don't think washing your face with Marmite or old axle grease was particularly a good look!

Why does this have so many views? It’s not even the pot stirrer.
Why did she represent US, UK not good enough for her.
Because her husband Corky is American . She moved over there you halfwit.

@@kpzcbttp didn't she sleep with like 10 different men whilst married to him?
Such nauseating chit chat from the commentators! 🤢
