Layton Williams and Nikita Kuzmin Argentine Tango to Tattoo by Loreen ✨ BBC Strictly 2023 

Same here and after watching it once, I had to watch it another 2 times straight after. It's just so captivating. I can never get enough of it!

Me too :)

Same.... I think I've now got my absolute favourite....❤

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

​@@tikkun888NASTY YOU JEALOUS?????

me too! my favourite dancers on the show & i just enjoy nikita & his dancing

They will never fail because Layton is a professional dancer and the show knows it and he knows it which is why he's always smug as he knows he will win it its probably written in to his contract give me high scores and get me to the final otherwise I will throw a dramatic tantrum and walk away

Hello if I ever have the opportunity to make friends with both Nikita and Layton then I will invite VIP fans to his events. 😊

💯 ditto! I could watch these two all day long❤️

You know its epic when (a) you forget to breathe and (b) it feels like it's only on for 10 seconds

Without a doubt!!👏💯

SAME......phew!

My favourite Argentine tango out of their dances. Loved it more than their couples choice. Mesmerising. So good.

I too have replayed the video several times- they are breathtaking!

Stunning, lost for words...perfection.

Sameee

Same💗

Absolutely 💯 ❤

They’re truly perfection 💕

They won in my eyes...❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

That's not a real tango

In your opinion!

Surely any comment on any RU-vid video is a persons opinion…kinda goes without saying…

@@anjee.3261in quite a lot of peoples opinions, seems like its on its way to be crowned the greatest dance in strictly history

ABSOLUTELY AGREE 100%

@@the5thjudge I truly hope so as this dance was my favourite what an outstanding performane on saturday dancing the Argentine tango....i have been watching it over & over!!

Me Too

I adore those two and can never get enough of them. Such great dancers, with incredible chemistry between them. I don't think I'd been fully able to appreciate Nikita's skills until he got paired with Layton this season. They've had my support from week one and hopefully we'll see them reach the final.

You need a life

Me too! Obsessed... absolutely stunning 😍

I have watched this so many times!

Facts.

Same these two are on another level and the chemistry crazy. 🤪

He is talented but couldn't dance with a woman coz he's not strong enough for the lifts that's why he dances with a man, Johannis Rebbee can

But saying that I don’t know If I want to see him dance with anyone else apart from Nikita lol

Absolutely... Nikita to me felt like a completely different person, almost cold, arrogant....while in this 'breakup' Layton was distraught..... The story in the dance was woven through it absolutely seamlessly.

What wonderful comments. Not just me, then. I have watched this routine over and over, and it seems to be past in seconds. Thee naysayers have no idea how special and how good, and how full of hope this is (yes, I have been slagged off here for adoring this routine, but hey, that's life; not my problem, but the other persons) I have been overwhelmed at how much Layton is learning and progressing, both as a dancer and as a person, and how brilliant this teaming with Nikita has been. To me, this is the height of his achievement. He has moved his core, and strengthened it. Changed his entire approach to dance and his place within it, and has matured so much as a talent and as a person. And if people cannot see and accept the achievement and the joy of this, they have a problem all of their own. I also think Layton deserves real credit for knowing he would be trolled and abused for his place on this show, and yet he has had the courage and the nerve for daring to do it anyway. All these complaints about him being a professional dancer; yes, he is. But he isn't the same now, and his learning curve has been as intense as anyone else's Comparitively, someone may be an English teacher, but that doesn't mean they can teach maths without total retraining. And this is exactly the same situation. Sadly, I don't think he will be allowed to win, Ellie Leach will, and she will have earnt it, but Layton will have won a different, more valuable and more especial victory that speaks to people, and with a reward greater than a glitter ball..

@@Belaugh 100% agreed. It's takes real strength to push through so much hate and I've no doubt that the growth of his talent through this show and the exposure it gives him, will catapult him to new heights.

@@Belaugh That is a bravo comment right there. I love Leyton, he's so unbelievably good at this. I feel sorry for people who's judgment robs them of the joy of his rare talent. Professional or not, you will rarely see anything this beautiful and emotional. So appreciate it everyone! It's so worth it!

i wish i could tattoo this comment on to everyones eyes

Thank you. I agree 👍. I try to not let the hateful words and comments get me down but really difficult sometimes.

@@the5thjudge 😂

He shouldn't be even in the competition as he's a dancer!! Complete fraud

Here here well said ….

No way they’ll win, but that’s okay. Just as long as they get to the final so we can see them dancing the maximum number of routines.

Thank God I'm not alone in that feeling they're not gonna give them the trophy, wish they win, they're the best BY FAR, but something tells me production is not gonna let them win

@@rafaelyaguaro2842 the final is entirely up to the public vote, not ‘production’. They still won’t win, though.

@@dajtoad1 if you think, almost 20 years into this show, production doesn't have a way to getting the finalist and winner they want, I got news for you

@@rafaelyaguaro2842 it makes absolutely no difference to ‘production’ who wins. All they’re interested in are viewers. Some shock boots, and some good dances, and getting the (hopefully) most popular 4 into the final is all they need. Why should it make any difference to them who wins? The judges vote in the final doesn’t count, and tbh most viewers who vote have already made up their minds who they’re going to vote for before the final starts.

Beautifully, beautifully put.

They get in professional Argentine Tango dancers to teach the choreography for this. Even so Nikita's choreography on all the dances has been fantastic.

Sorry but Layton will be 30 in 2024 on 13 September.

Happy Birthday for tomorrow! 🎉😊

@@7tracey7 Aw, thanks, Tracey, that's so kind of you. What an amazing duo of dancing perfection tonight Nikita and Layton were. I still can't believe that Charleston - especially bouncing on and off chairs, and even getting their umbrellas open in synch! Absolute heaven to watch, and reassure ourselves how much grace and beauty is possible. I've no doubt there are spiteful little creatures who love being negative about anybody and anything. Just let them roll around in their cowpats of bitterness - nobody cares about them. Layton, you are sublime - THANK YOU! XXX

You're very welcome 😊 I absolutely love watching them and am rather in love (& lust! ☺️) with Nikita! Just love seeing people being their authentic selves and the bond between them. I've cried & smiled! Have a great day!

Yes! Hopefully there were hugs later - the characterisation was so real that I wanted to console Layton!

That look gave me the horn lol absolutely incredible routine and execution

It was amazing

Agree 100% 💕

She was superb.

Exactly why I thought it dissappointing...this could have been more masculine energy and passion.

@@reddragonready It was deeply masculine. Just look at those power suits! I felt they would start fighting at one point (the forehead-meeting point).

Most definitely the songs some tines don't match the dance but this song perfectly makes sense too the dance.

I can't stop watching it , the look by Nikita at the end unreal.

​@@karenmcclure7191 I couldn't work out who was breaking up with who in this dance, until that look on Nikita's face. These two and this dance are absolutely stunning. 💕

Absolutely this is definitely going into the strictly hall of fame with frankie's paso doble, Danny mac's samba, Jay's jive, Alexander Burke paso doble,

I don't think I've ever seen a better dance. Pure art.

Totally agree

They were robbed of the perfect score!

There was one teeny tiny little wobble in the side to side section at the beginning. I bet he saw it. However, as Len once said, sometimes a 10 isn’t perfect; it’s just better than a 9. And that deserved a 40

As with Ellie and Vito's dance last week, this'll be one that be reprised in the final and get the perfect score.

@@rowanc88 yes, I agree

Jamcgowan agree i saw a little mistake there probably why craig gave it a 9

And Lakita as best partnership of all time on Strictly

You are right.

Wow what a wonderful and powerful comment ❤

💯👏👏👏yes! Imho, they want the girl from Coronation street to win. Leyton is different class from her, sorry but her chunky arms & legs put me off.

I think you're wrong. Elle is getting 1k likes and Layton is getting 3.6 K likes. Everyone else just around 500 likes. It's clear to me he's the GBP favourite. Even if everyone switches their vote to Elle, I still don't think that'll be enough. But Elle is getting better all the time - she's increasingly more 'professional' looking every week - I think it will be very close in the end.

@@Camille_Andersonso her obvious amazing talent having not had professional dance training and lovely bubbly personality comes down to what she looks like in your world? How pathetic and sad. Layton is absolutely amazing but has trained as a dancer.
