John Whaite and Johannes Radebe Paso Doble ✨ BBC Strictly 2021 

The way these two support each other both on and off the floor is phenomenal. Definitely this year’s strongest partnership in my opinion and they are SO well matched. They also look incredible dancing together. John’s confidence goes up week on week and he is producing some stunning routines and this was no exception, their best yet. He is such a nice guy as well and always humble. Would love to see him go far :)

I don't care what my parents say I'm supporting these two 100%

If they don't do this dance again in the finals, I will riot.

Johannes’s star is shining this year. His choreography so far has been amazing. This pairing is outstanding, John must have been a dancer in a previous life. Absolutely stunning performance, I could watch these to dance all night. Fabulous.

Their synchronisation is always beyond perfect if there is such a thing.

Considering what an incredible, charismatic dancer Johannes is the fact that John more than kept up with him in incredible.

This pairing is heavenly! Johannes’ choreography is outstanding and elegant and John was born to dance. They are fierce and hot as Hell.

I think Johannes may be one of my favorite dancers of all time. His dancing is amazing, and he seems so generous with his partners.

I was in AWE throughout the entire performance. This is week 3 and he's getting a perfect critique. Incredible performance, best of the night

Johannes gives everything in his choreography and is humble. He is amazing.

My son has a learning disability and wasn't really paying attention when I watched strictly last night, but when this dance came on he was glued to the screen and afterwards he clapped, cheered and gave me a high five. We rewatched it three or four times. Brilliant dance.

Couldn't tell who the professional was at some points, this dance absolutely deserved the score it got!

I still can't get over this dance. 😭 it made my little strictly heart so bloody happy.

I do actually think these two can win this. There is something that just draws your eye and engages you. John has no idea how good he is does he?

Jesus Christ. I really have no words. I'm blown away by these two. They are a whole show in themselves. Just absolutely love it.

Johannes needs to win this year. He has the perfect partner with John. Keeping everything crossed 🤞🏽

I didn't know how badly I needed a paso done by two men, until this moment. just the power and grace, just chef's kiss all over this blessed performance!

Craig had no critique, gutted this wasn’t a 40. Probably one of the best dances in strictly history. I hope they win.

This is the best paso doble I’ve seen from a male celebrity in a long time, 10/10

I don’t think I will ever get bored watching this. They are so in sync. It was just beautiful. And best still, they rendered Craig speechless.

These two are so charismatic and synchronised, this routine has to go down as one the greats on strictly!

I felt like I was watching a battle scene from a musical! Mesmerising

This is going to go in Strictly's history as one of the greatests 👏👌❤❤

This wasn’t just a dance, it was a beautiful sword fight. Choreographed to perfection, their energy and chemistry just make their dances an absolute joy to watch

I love the pirate's theme and have seen many shows doing the tango or a Paso to it, but nothing like this. this was perfection, to the point, it blurred who was the professional and who was the amateur. John and Johannes to win the entire thing

Also, I think tonight's whole show has to be the best movie night show I've seen on Strictly; so many couples were SO good.

John, AJ, Rose, Rhys. For me, these four are amazing. This year is tough to call.

Amazing! Certainly the best ever Paso on Strictly and will probably go down in history as one of the best dances ever. Johannes’ talent is really being able to shine through completely this year 😍

What an incredible dance! The posture, the mirroring, the choreography... Best Paso on Strictly, ever, and right up there with the very best of the best overall.

I have said for YEARS that this song(my fave song) would be PERFECT for a Paso and I have waited and waited for it to happen on Strictly and it did, with Peter Andre and he flopped it. It wasn't good and so disappointing. I think I cried because I've always wanted to see a DAMN GOOD paso danced to this song and.... THIS. THIS IS IT!!! Absolutely bloody perfect!! 👏👏👏👏

if you told me this was an on Broadway production of pirates of the Carribbean I'd believe you... this was outstanding

This was perfection.

*_OH MY GOD!!!_* I am a massive Paso Doble fan, it is my favourite dance style, and, no lie, John and Johannes have done the best Paso I have ever seen on Strictly ever! What a perfect way to close they show, they couldn't have chosen a better one! They almost got a 40 soooo soon and that would have been more than deserved. I almost cried. It moved me so much! John was everything Johannes wasnted to be, everything he said he wasn't. He was powerful, fierce strong, and very intense! There was so much creativity in this that came from the ability to switch roles. So much more that they could do. But so much more to learn. What a hard worker John is! Like, wow! He looked like a genuine pro. Completely in sync, he mimicked Johannes perfectly! Every move was danced and performed with perfection! I loved Catherine and Caroline, but John is absolutely his best partner. They have poured their hearts into these dances because they can truly be themselves. It really means a lot to them and it shows! God, it gave me chills! I have never been this touched by a Strictly dance that I can remember. I'm still thinking about it! This is what inspires dancers! What inspires me! It really is dances like these that make you wanna be the ones dancing. You can just feel all the emotions embodied, and you want that feeling. They truly embodied the Paso Doble. This had better go down in history!! Oh, John, he did himself so proud. This is a finals level dance. If he keeps this up, he could see himself in the finals.

I absolutely love Johannes. Amazing dancer, great physique. Such a gentleman. These two are a great pairing, I bet they reach the final😎👍👍

Honestly, this is Broadway level great!!! The music, setting, costumes, lighting, partnership, power, drama, execution! You rocked 🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤

These two are on fire and it's incredible to watch! 🔥🔥🔥

If we find out John can sing too...he'll have to give up baking! Bloody brilliant pair

Their chemistry is ELECTRIC!

WOW. there is just no words in the current English language that does justice at how insanely amazing that dance was. I will be watching that so many hundreds of times in the future

Johannes is by far the best male professional dancer. Superb.

It was show-stopping, jaw-dropping and eye popping Paso Doble. I predict you could win Strictly 2021.

Out of countless versions of Pirates of the Caribbean theme dance routines done on Strictly Come Ballroom & Dancing with the Stars franchise, John & Johannes’s version is the best POTC routine I’ve seen thus far in the franchise. It’s a stunning, badass routine. Bravo Gentlemen! 👏👏👏👏👏

This was brilliantly choreographed - a paso is a fight, and a fight Johannes created! Beautifully danced by John and powerfully interpreted as a pair. Bravo!

John is a fantastic dancer and something about this pairing is so tender and supportive I am filled with something akin to maternal pride watching them. Congratulations to both and keep going!

Wow! Just wow! Remind me - who is the professional? Johannes has done a wonderful job with choreography and training John - Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏

I always liked Johannes, he is FABULOUS !

My favourite pairing this year! In awe of them both. Stunning work from John and stunning choreo from Johannes.

Can you imagine how dedicated and powerful you'd have to be to obtain that kind of excellence from someone you have taught to dance? 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Cant stop watching this. Its stunning. Johannes is killing it this year with Choreography

OMG YESSSS. Absolutely flawless. Nothing else to say other than 10.

I think we're looking at this years winner!!!! Mark my words, cuz this is fiiirrrre 😍😍😍🎊🎆🎆 best week 3 dance ever! Better than Jay's Jive which is very hard but he did it

Don’t even understand how this is not even at 1m views by now!

THIS WAS SO DESERVING OF THE SCORES IT GOT I AM STILL IN ABSOLUTE *AWE*

One of the best pasos I've seen in a long time, if not the best!

this was incredible and i am OBSESSED. if we don’t help john and johannes win the glitterball this year i’m rioting

One of the strongest and most beautiful performances I’ve ever seen on Strictly! Love them

Can't stop watching this...just mesmerisingly brilliant!

Waited all evening for this pair, didn't disappoint...perfection, looking forward to their Tango. Incredible couple and so humble.

That was FANTASTIC and very definitely one of the best dances I have ever seen on Strictly. 🏆🏆

Looked like 2 professionals to me. Absolutely fantastic

This blew my mind....was just amazing...

Ok but beyond this perfect dance the live band did a fantastic job

Wow...amazing choreography!! Exciting dance moves, I like their outfits, their strong arms up like white swans, I absolutely love this!! Their romance should go on for a long long time, both are young and energetic! Kudos!!

This is easily one of the best dances I've ever seen. Promenades beautiful, shanee turns excellent, gorgeous spanish lines, fantastic timing on the side by side section, perfect jette, beautiful spanish shaping, lovely running promenade pivot! I could go on forever. John totally got the stalking walk and the softness in the knees, the characterisation was beautiful, it was choreographed so well. John has just took Jay's place for best week 3 dance ever heare and this was easily the best dance of the night. I'm overwhelmed with how good that was, you're not supposed to dance like that. Tonight it flowed and so mich more time in hold, looked absolutely clear! FAB-U-LOUS think we've found this years winners 😍😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥! *10/10* one of the best pasos ever too

John and Johannes plus AJ and Kai are my favourite couples but overall, this year is one of my favourite Strictly series because there’s no bad couples. Even though Judi doesn’t have technical skills and Ugo has zero rhythm, overall, every week the performances are just getting better. This performance was phenomenal 👏🏽👏🏽

Okay, that entire dance was fire. Can't wait to see them do the Argentine tango, I really hope that they get to do it!

Awesome - didn’t think I’d like this alternative approach to ballroom but by far the most striking and powerful routines have come from these two. It’s like two lead dancers creating a masterly display. I am only watching again on RU-vid cos it was so good. All three dances they have had so far have been phenomenal.

The way they changed roles was breathtaking! This year is so hard to call! I want half the cast in the finals but after this, John and Johaness have taken the lead! To think this only Week 3!

The drama! The emotion! The choreo as well. The whole thing was brilliant and they're such a good pairing

I am absolutely spellbound by these two amazing men!! They personify beauty, strength and everything a man should be !! I am mesmerised and absolutely in love with them both. … unbelievably awesome. 🥰😍

Never ever thought I would enjoy two men perform the Paso Doble this much! Incredible!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

This was an interesting take on a Paso, it was a battle and I'm here for it. Lovely strong lines, plenty of attack and the switching lead worked really well in the routine. John looked a bit stiff in his back, there were times where his shaping could have been improved, but dancing the Paso with this level of command, strength and commitment, is remarkable. I really enjoyed this.

I love that Johannes seems to be thriving this year, I loved him before but even more now! I don't know why this wasn't 40, Craig always says if a dance makes him put his pen down and watch then that's a 10 and he said he didn't write a thing so what more can they do???

Respect to both of them. Amazing dance and choreography. One of the best Paso Doble. I have seen.

This is one of my favourite Strictly Paso dobles ever. It has all the drama , intensity and passion that I look for and as a bonus they look great too.

*standing ovation * You two are my superheros!

By far the best dance of the night. It was complete mesmerising & my wife told me I stopped breathing watching it. lol John is a good dancer but he's also very powerful & this dance showcased that perfectly. This is a match made in heaven.

That dance was most definitely up there with Jay McGuiness' Jive as my all time favourite dance! These 2 are my pick to win it this year! They are an amazing partnership! And I just can't stop watching them! 😍😍😁😁

Just breath taking . Cant stop watching them and cant believe John hasn't danced before . Johannes is not only an amazing dancer but also a superb choreographer.

The drama! The synchronicity! The brilliance! The energy! Inject it! That dance was magnetic, I couldn't take my eyes off it. I've watched it over 15x already! 🙌🏾🙌🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Best Paso I’ve ever seen on the show❤️

Am so obsessed with these two, they are just brilliant!! BBC should just end the competition and award them the glitter-ball already!!

Johannes embodied the pirate character so fiercely, powerfully and charismatically, and John held his own and kept up to match his energy! Beautiful work guys! Beautiful!!

Best dance ever on Strictly

Fan-bloody-tastic... When a performance ends and u just can't help but rewatch it again because you loved it.

Cant believe how wonderfull this was Ive replayed it so many times allready The attack and mirroring absolutely stunning So stylish and dramatic There are not enought words

I'm so proud of the two of you! You never cease to amaze. The representation matters and I absolutely cannot wait to see what you have in store for next week 💖🇿🇦

I could not breath all the way through this performance omg I now know why Johannes loves this dance

John and Johannes are carrying the show this year! My winners already for sure! Absolutely love love LOVE their partnership!!

Wow gentlemen that was extraordinary. Powerful, strong and breathtaking.

Stunning brilliant and the fact that John is not a professional dancer,he is a credit to Johannes

I felt tense watching this because it was so amazing! It was like watching a movie! Two men doing the paso is the only paso I ever need now.

Goosebumps! Could be from a west end show. Powerful and emotive, stunning! X

This makes me cry happy tears!

OMFG that was amazing! Once again, every single couple pulled it out of the bag this week, but my favourite dances are this one and Rose and Giovanni's foxtrot, well bloody done you guys!!

One of the best Strictly dances ever!! Incredible!! 🙊😍

ABSO DESERVED THE THREE TENS I LITERALLY SCREAMED pls can they win that would mean so much to me they are amazing, im so glad johannes is thriving this seasom

I'm a gay woman, they are two (I think?) gay men, WHY WAS I SO ATTRACTED TO THIS PERFORMANCE. Love the power and strength they both gave here, damn

Only 'one' of those dancers is a Pro...there now think about it, if you didnt know would you guess that, both absolutely brilliant, perfect timing & amazing choreography - John Whaite & Johannes Radebe, what a STAR team they are. They set the Johnny Depp family on Twitter alight last night & i sent the BBC link to Johnny's personal assistant, so Johnny WILL get to see it, he will LoVe it, as we do. Well done guys it was wonderful. xx

THIS WAS AMAZING, INCREDIBLE AND I;M GOING TO WATCH THIS PROBABLY A BILLION TIMES OMG I LOVE THEMMM
