The best male celebrity ever on Strictly. Unmatched to this day. An absolute disgrace he didn't win. He was undermarked consistently throughout the show.

It honestly doesn't get any more perfect than this. Kinda left me speechless ... That catch at the end is one of the best things to ever been done on this show.. ever.

I have no idea who danny mac is, but I know I'll never forget him now, absolute perfection

Beautifully choreographed, designed, lit and performed. Truly in a class of its own.

2021 and I still come back , I will never get over this robbery no matter what they need to bring him back 😂😂

The dance broke my heart, then scared me shitless.

All of the lifts were fine to my eyes. That last leap from Oti into Danny's arms was breathtaking. I actually swore at my TV! This couple are an unalloyed joy to watch.I love Claudia, but I hope Danny wins.

The most beautiful dance in the history of Strictly.

I literally screamed when I saw the end. Really Darcey, a 9!

Did anyone else have a mini heart attack when she jumped off that platform?

I always come back to this dance. It will always be my favourite.

This is still the best Strictly has ever seen. Danny and Oti forever💗💗💗💗

Whenever I'm stressed or just need a pick me up, I watch Danny Mac's American Smooth and all is well 😊😂

The camerawork in this routine was spot on.Exactly the right angle to capture that thrilling last leap from Oti.

That's what I call art.

Love how Oti put the Gene Kelly aeroplane spins in.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Oti is the best female dancer I have ever seen!!!

PRO LEVEL. I can't believe how good this actually was. I am stunned. Fair play Danny, fair play. 10.

Can we talk about that section from 1:04 to 1:08, please? And that flying leap off the dock or whatever it's supposed to be?! WOW! Oti had said flying was her superpower during her new pros intro last series. I see she was serious about that. Nailed it!

Abosutlely top notch. Danny is the most exquisite dancer in the shows history. What other couple could even attempt a routine of this caliber?

Possibly the most beautiful dance ever performed on strictly, took my breath away!

His hold is so so exquisite

My heart always cry that Danny and oti did not win. He is My winner always❤❤❤

My kids still remember me being obsessed by Danny Mac. Best ever

This dance is faultless and unforgettable in my opinion. It was the best dance of the night and it was upsetting, frustrating and ridiculous that Darcy did not give this dance a 10 but scored other couples a 10 who were nowhere near this standard. Danny and Oti truly deserve to win.

I've been an avid fan of SCD since it started, and every year there is always one who impresses, but this year (series), I have to say I have been absolutely blown away by the perfect union of Danny Mac & the beautiful and talented Ms Oti Mabuse. Never have a pairing been so made for each-other. Oti is such a wonderful story telling choreographer, and Danny has certainly proven to be the best dancer SCD has ever had. Thank you to Oti & Danny for making this series the best, my winners from dance one

this dance just screamed Gene Kelly/Cyd Charisse "An American in Paris" loved it!

This was perfection. It should have been 40 😍

For me that was the most amazing proformance I've seen on strictly 💯💯💯

Danny and Oti have to win!!!!!!

2022 and still watching. Just gorgeous.

These two are the perfect duo. Flawless performances every time.

I always loved the way Danny 'handles' her. He is not bulky, but hello how strong is he?? Oti is not a tiny thing, yet Danny always lifts (and catches!!) her with such ease....dreamy.

watched this a year later and this still outshines any performance on Strictly EVER!

Any man who can dance so ELEGANTLY with his jumper tucked perfectly in his trousers, has got t be a DEFINITE winner. GRACEFUL and beautiful STORYTELLING

I just watched this with a warm smile all over my face. Then I gasped at the end. Gosh, that could have gone so horribly wrong. Luckily it didn't, 40/40 for me.

This dance would go perfectly as an advert for a perfume/cologne. Oozing with class, sophistication and visually incredible.

This is definitely one of the best if not the best American smooth ever to be performed on Strictly. Danny Mac - you were absolutely robbed my friend. You were leagues ahead of Ore(who?) and should definitely have won. Danny Mac is by far the best male celebrity to have EVER danced on the show and it was a travesty not to see him lift the Glitterball. Oti is such a stunning dancer too. Her choreography is incredible and these two really were the dream team.

One of the best dances I've ever seen on Strictly. Have watched it three times and it's made me cry every time. Beautiful. Just beautiful.

This will always and forever be the best dance i have ever seen. Still coming back to watch it after all these years.

I come here often

This was the dance of the series, in my very humble opinion. I could watch choreography like this all day. Beautiful!

Still watch this today.....by far the best dance of the series. Danny should have won.

It's so marvellous I could be at the West End, and Andrea's singing is just out of this world..

In 2019, still one of Strictly's greatest dances ever

Oti has got to be the best choreographer I've seen on Strictly! The mirroring is so effective and she uses it all the time. I don't understand why the other pros haven't picked it up. I've seen this 5 times now and i still completely fill up when he catches her. Stunning team. Am rooting for Danny as much as for Oti tbh.

Danny and Oti should of won this he was brilliant

I can't believe the jump was a last minute addition. brilliant

I am keeping my fingers crossed that Danny & Oti win. I am gobsmacked that the best dance of the evening was in the dance off.

The best dance of the series.

Why Danny Mac and Oti are still the best pairing of strictly since inception. They were robbed and it was so obvious. What choreography, the song the dance and finale was all so exquisite and delicate it brings you to tears. They were robbed, big time.

fabulous from Danny and ote

Sheer perfection as per usual....he just gets better and better. Once again Darcey has shown she is 100% behind Ore...scoring him 10's in both dances and handing Danny a 9 for this . (then again when you have co-presented a programme with ore in the past, it would prove hard not to support him all the way wouldn't it) As usual i thank god for Craig....the only one that won't play the game and actually has integrity. Atleast the other 3 judges won't be able to get their grubby little hands involved in the final public vote

goosebumps. Tears in my eyes. stopped breathing. lost for words PERFECTION

Darcy , what were you thinking . This is sublime.

That jump at the end scared me but still I loved it

Have been dying for Danny to do the American Smooth all series and WOW!!! Absoloutely fantastic. Called Darcy a few choice names for her nitpicking and 9. How on earth can that be compared to Louise getting 9s? They are worlds apart. DANNY AND OTI TO WIN.

It's 2020 and this is still for me the best dance on Strictly over all the series. It is breathtaking every single time I watch it, every second of it is just exquisite perfection.

The graceful body shaping from these two is magical.

Beautiful man, beautiful dance and beautiful Oti! Everything about this is so beautiful it needed 40!!!

I loved Oti on Strictly so much. She is so so so beautiful, and so immensely intelligent and creative. This dance is one of many memorable pieces she crafted to get the best out of her partners. My favourite Strictly professional.

What an AMAZING American Smooth!!!! Have no clue how this didn't get a perfect 40! Damn you Darcy!!!

Blast you Darcey for that 9! Ugh!!! 10s across the board. Come on!! **hits replay**

I can't stop replaying all the dances from these two over and over. They're phenomenal and sexy. Danny must be one very strong man to catch Oti like that.wonderful.

I love Danny so much! Not only because he is gorgeous, he also seems like a really sweet and humble guy too! I really think he should have won

How did Danny not win?! That truly was a leap of faith. Been watching strictly for 11 years and he's definitely one of if not the best celebs ever!!

The jump at the end always sticks in my mind. Every time I watch strictly I’m reminded of it.

*Why Danny Mac should win this Saturday* 1) No other celebrity has ever scored 3 10s from Craig prior to the finale, nor has any finalist score 2 perfect scores prior to the finale as well. 2) No other celebrity has had a streak of 6 weeks of receiving a 10 for each dance (to specify further: His Salsa/American Smooth both got 10s each, not just one dance for double dances week scoring 10s) 3) He is ahead of Louise by 12 points and Ore by 18 points 4) He stands to break Caroline's record of most perfect scores if he scores 3 perfect 40s in the finale (highly doubt so, but if he scores 2 perfect scores, he ties Caroline with four a piece) 5) Oti deserves to win as well for her outstanding choreography this series!

favorite dance of the night = gorgeous!! danny definitely had the gene kelly vibe at moments in the dance ;)

God how I'll miss watching this elegant, enchanting, mesmerising couple on my television screen every week. I honestly think they're the best pairing to date. I'm so sad that their journey is almost at an end... but I will be even sadder if they don't win that glitter ball come Saturday. Never will there have been a bigger sense of injustice on Strictly, than these two not winning!

Stunning dance. That leap into his arms at the end was unreal! The winners for sure!

Felt like I needed a Misty Blue moment, their chemistry is awesome, they were talking to each other with their eyes the whole way through. 💕

Can't believe it's been six years already. Still love this performance ❤

I adored this dance. it actually brought tears to my eyes. So gentle but so intense and romantic. I think I am in love with Danny Mac. their synchronization was perfect. oti your a genius and wow that catch.

Exquisite. I've never seen a better dance on this show - it was genuinely moving.

Still love this dance one of my favorite oti as ever done beautiful

Greatest strictly dance of all time. Yes i went there

I have no dance experience so I go on what makes me go 'yeah' and stand and clap like a demented seal. This made me do this and also cry a little. I have not experienced that since Jay's jive. Stunning, simply stunning!

I honestly thought Oti was going to die after that ending, but it really was AMAZING !!!

I have watched every single dance video of Oti and Danny Mac's, and they are by far one of the best SCD dance couples I've ever seen. I'm speechless and wonderfully entertained by this talented team who should've won their season.

So amazing, Danny is simply the best celebrity dancer we will ever see on SCD.

wow just wow..ive watched 7 times today..i am still going to watch again..oh the catch at the end and the hand stand thingy above oti,,*swoons*

Danny and Oti were head and shoulders above any of the other contestants yet they did not win when they really deserved to. Incidently, I asked the BBC for the voting figures for the final and they (twice) refused to release them

I cant.. I'm...I'm crying.... That was beautiful.😢😢😢😢

IN MY OPINION DANNY WAS THE KING OF THE DANCE AND OTI WAS THE QUEEN

Danny and Oti should have won last year they were by far the best couple.

Glad they were in the dance off - a second chance to see that was a great pleasure. Two words, Danny: Gene Kelly.

That could have easily been a showdance. I don't care if he's had training, a good dancer is a good dancer. If he'd never danced a day until Oti got hold of him, he'd still be good, he's just built to be a dancer in the same way Ed Balls isn't. It's more than just being technically good too, he has a connection with Oti, he's a showman and is infinitely watchable on the stage, the opposite of Louise who never seems to shine and is always looking at the floor. I like a performer

I'm so glad Oti had Danny last year - her first year on she didn't have much time to prove herself as a new pro but damn with Danny she got to pull out all the stops with how perfectly he captured the feel of every dance and looked amazing doing it. Definitely think Oti's one of the best choreographers the show has ever had she adds in dramatic flair and brilliant storytelling with so many of her dances and these moments (like the floor bit in this one) that are totally unique to her dances without sacrificing content. Admit to never being a big fan of the three big Latin numbers (Cha Cha/Salsa/Samba) but Oti's choreography for them makes me love them. And Danny is just... ugh. Can't even begin to describe the way he moves.

Danny & Oti had better win. They always deliver quality performances. Oti's amazing choreography and Danny's natural talent is a perfect combination. I've been impressed by Oti's choreography last year and I'm so glad she gets a partner who she can go full force on.

Divine. This performance was a dream. 💙

This was simply divine, and a breath of fresh air to see a Viennese Waltz-American Smooth, instead of the Foxtrot-American Smooth we regularly see. Incredible storytelling, fantastic lifts, and some love contemporary moments incorporated.

Keep coming back to this, lovely

Still for me the best dance ever on strictly (plus Andrea's rendition of Misty Blue is fantastic) 💜

The most divine partnership on strictly

Sweet, romantic and thrilling. I've watched this many, many times.

One of the best dances in Strictly's history, done by the best celebrity dancer, ever. Can't say how many times I've watched this, it helps though that he is so handsome, could look at his beautiful, expressive face, forever.

Still watching this in 2020, something that makes my heart happy. 😊

This. Is. Beautiful. So poignant and true to the lyrics. Mesmerizing story-telling. And Danny's ACTING. He's a genius. And so is Oti.

Still watching this one year on in total awe of the magic these two created on the dance floor every week. For me, Danny was the outright winner whatever the result and the best dancer ever since the start of Strictly, and I include this years winner. Much as I like Joe, he does not come close to Danny Mac in terms of pure artistry and such exquisite body lines.
