Angela Scanlon and Carlos Gu Paso Doble to BLACK Swan SWAN Lake by District 78 ✨ BBC Strictly 2023 

Refreshing change! Sick of the negative feedback she gets from the judges. I think she's a fine dancer.

Wow! What an extremely unique Paso Doble! So uniquely and creatively choreographed! So dramatic! The only real flaw was that she had a few balance issues. But that was so mesmerising and beautiful! Stands out from the crowd! Love it!

Adore Carlos he is so creative

Carlos is my new favourite!

This was dramatic and beautiful. Congratulations Carlos on choreographing this piece!

That was absolutely fantastic. Just wow 😮

Carlos is incredible

There is something magical about this performance 🪄

Talk about a petrifying Paso Doble and it was petrifying. I could feel the intensity growing and building the character, and what a song for this too, facial expression was very nice but footwork and chemistry... very well done. A very good performance!

Carlos paso Dobles are always so amazing. Loved this dance one of my faves of the night.

OMG that was incredible 😮 possibly one of the most amazing dances EVER in Strictly. How that didn’t get at least one 10 is beyond me 😳

angela’s back everyone!! this should’ve been one of the later dances as I feel like it would’ve definitely got 9s across the board (maybe apart from craig) but it was such an amazing dance and carlos truly excels when it comes to his paso choreography, so unique and brilliant and it definitely set the tone for the night, I hope she continues on this upward streak as this partnership is lovely and she’s doing so well :)

Great paso from both Angela and Carlos, Angela's arms and legs are so graceful - perfect for a balletic interpretation of a dramatic paso. Lovely.

Score - *9/10* Once again, i was disappointed Angela was up early because it probably would have been 9's across the board if it was up later. Incredible concept, the swanography help define and let the shape come to life. There was a lovely Argentine Tango twist on it which was great, the twist turns were amazing, strong spins and such characterisation and flair in all movements. It was shown and acted to perfection, there still needs to be stronger shaping but it's her best dance yet by far and I just thought it was so memorable, dramatic, unique and I loved the different styles of Paso blended into this it was amazing 🌠

Fantastic performance by Carlos and his dance partner Angela

This was incredible!! Angela and Carlos dance so well together. Such a great partnership 💜

Loved the choreography. Outstanding performance ❤

amazing Paso Doble,love the music

Brilliant ......her arms ,just incredible ❤

This dance was so captivating. So passionate and fiery! They really attacked that dance floor. 🙂💯

She’s backkkk 🥰

The more I watch it, the more I love it! Angela really portraits the part well as well as dancing well!

that truly was EPIC! Some of the comments in this thread already put to words the feelings it brought me! This is ART

Fantastic dance!! I had chills watching it!! ❤

OMG! The fluttering fingers feather effects at 0:27 are SO mesmerising, just marvellous in every way!🦢🪶

Fantastic performance 👏 👌, Carlos is an incredible choreographer, one of the best dances tonight.

I loved Angela's and Carlos ' performance tonight, the drama was epic.

Stunning

Brilliant Angela

I loved it she's finally back, this was incredible, I expected great things from this and she delivered 8/10

It was amazing, and, once again, undermarked. A 9 from me.

I LOVED this!!! It was dramatic and entertaining to watch! Angela S is BACKKKK!!! 9

Beautiful dance deserved 2nd best of the night

omg this is amazing - love the choreography

My fave dance tonight. 🦢

Loved everything about this. The SFX are also amazing. I expect these two will go far. Have a good day reader

Didnt watch this live(Am not a fan of the Halloween shows on Strictly),not normally a fan of Angelas either,but this was the best dance of the night for me.

From the swans to the lake to the dance. Loved this performance. 😃👏

I was most excited for this dance and it certainly didn't disappoint

That was epic

THIS IS THE COOLEST PASO I'VE EVER SEEN

I would give this a 9. Very dramatic and she had the ballet steps in there

Id give her an 8 but she is my favourite i hope she makes the final

Paso to Tchaikovsky's music? Is it the first one? Not the easiest task, but they looked very good.

BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE SHOW WOW! 👏👏👏👏

Beautiful!

Powerful Dance. And a theme taken from my favourite ballet. I also Love The Black Swan.

I wasn't sure if I was going to like this but this was SO GOOD!!! 8.5/10

I still don't know who Angela is, but I thoroughly enjoyed this gothic paso. More classical music less heavy metal Dave Arch.

Dancing the Petrifying Paso Doble, Angela Scanlon and Carlos “Ghoulish” Gu.

CGI swans was not on my bingo list at the start of this year

Nice Dance Angela & Carlos 👍

10/10

Ok so I am biased I love her. I thought she did great and I am glad they gave her a decent score

Very good loved it ❤

UNDERMARKED AGAIN 🙄

❤

American here and I remember nev and jenna doing this dance and they got a perfect score on it

So Black Swan is now one of my favourite films so when I heard that they were doing a Paso I was so excited. However for me I don't know why but something didn't click. It felt like a dance with parts and not one with many transitions to the next bit. But I really liked her shaping and the drama of it. 7.

Absolutely loved this

wow

7/10 For me I feel like the translations could be a little cleaner and she looked a little tense in the upper body. However that being said the choreography was amazing and it had drama, passion and overall a good dance.

our scores: me: 8 diya: 7 kelsey: 9 owen: 9 33/40 i loved her performance last week, to me this is another phenomenal performance from her but its great to see her get the scores she deserves. a little more breath to help transitions would be great and there was a minor stumble but overall i loved the tone this set for the night

The music sounded a tad like The Phantom of the Opera Theme Song, but now I can see I got it wrong. Very dramatic, and a lot like the score Anton and Katie got for their Paso Doble.

Hmm reminds me of the Nev and Jenna paso doble from DTWS. Beautifully danced tho

I found a naughty satsuma in my fantastic curry 🍊

Why such poor scores from judges. I don’t think Shirley likes them…..

7

You can tell they tries to never and jenna from the American strictly

Great concept, but, not that well danced. Shame, really.

It was good but a little boring at times. They are improving. Him in his choreography and her dancing. She should stay cause she’s progressing. 7
