Group dance
We're treated to a sneak preview of the BBC's Christmas party, complete with a game of pass-the-dancer!
John and Johannes: Salsa to We Are Family by Sister Sledge
To the Crystal Dome!
Rhys and Nancy: Argentine Tango to In The Air Tonight by Phil Collins
Wow - Rhys wasn't so much lifting Nancy as instead throwing her around the dance floor and catching her again!
Rose and Giovanni: American Smooth to This Will Be (An Everlasting Love) by Natalie Cole
Shall we dance? *glomp*
Random trivia: at my university graduation ceremony most of us just walked on stage, shook Richard Attenborough's hand, collected our degree and walked off. But one lass ran across the stage and launched herself at him from a good few paces away into a full-body glomp!
Dan and Nadiya: Tango to Santa Maria by Gotan Project
Down the random back alleys of Strictly... is spontaneous tango!
AJ and Kai: Salsa to Rhythm Is Gonna Get You/Get On Your Feet by Gloria Estefan
I did not expect the spontaneous disco in that salsa.
Curiously, both salsas fell apart at the end, and both in the same way - the pro dancers owned up to offering the wrong hand to the celebrity.
Bonus quotes
Craig: "I love it when it goes wrong"
Claudia: "Where's Rhys gone, what did you do?" Rhys: "Oh, he's at Disneyland, this is Rhys 2.0"
Tess: "Run, Dave!"
Anton: "Please, stop, I can't bear it!"
