YoshiPeach Mario it’s because motsi is a judge, not a pro. last year in the first live show, i think the new dancers got an dance intro, so nancy’s will probably be next week :)
YoshiPeach Mario Nancy won’t be partnered with a celebrity this year. That’s probably why. She may still get an intro in a couple of weeks when the series properly starts.
Loved Shirley and Motsi dancing - effortlessly showing their credentials. Sometimes Shirley as Head Judge disagrees with other judges (particularly Craig) on certain performances. But when she can dance as good as that at her age, it gives a lot of confidence that she knows what she is talking about!
It was really superb!! What a great treat from the judges. A great mix of Samba and Jive and some funny steps from Bruno and Craig. Shirley is definitely the godmother of the ballroom world - great dancing and that fantastic series of spins, which is her significant move. Motsi was the cherry on the cake - bubbly, sexy, funny... really great samba (and salsa) steps. For me it was such a delightful number.
Ya can tell mosti and otie are sisters lol. They both have such amazing face actions and just look and sound sound so alike and both clearly amazing on the dance floor lol
Oti joining Strictly brought a fabulous, creative and beautiful member to the team who could wow you out your socks! Her AND her sister Motsi, just blow the roof right off the house!
Just noticed that strictly has professionals from every continent excluding Antarctica for obvious reason and it’s so nice to just see them come together with dance!
1:36 I still come back just for this section, he’s clearly living his best life. I don’t care if the technique is shit... it gives me life and I love to see him happy and relaxed dancing after 3 hip replacements
To see Motsi performing and now judging at Strictly surprised me a lot. She is doing a fantastic job in the german version for years now! Get ready Britain for a lot of laugh and tears from the incredible Motsi Mabuse!
Im from Germany where Motsi has been a judge for EVER and Im so glad she can show herself to the world! She is such an inspiration and a f*cking talent. By the way: ive read her biography and she is a fabulous woman since birth!
living life i don't know i just started watching this show cause i'm a fan of joe and since i don't live in the uk i didn't even know this show existed, i know almost nothing about dancing but i can see that this was not good
Totally loved the theme and that Latin beat... Who wasn’t tapping their foot to that! Shirley and Motzi were on fire. Bruno was good and Craig did really well considering that he has had a hip operation.
When Craig was dancing i was laughing sooo much.What was he doing lol.This was such an amzing dance.Plus Craig that was amazing seeing to dance and smile.LOL😂🤣
All credit to the judges for daring to take to the floor, knowing that everyone will be watching them like hawks for any mistakes and that some will rejoice in a less than stellar performance.
What an incredible start to the series. So excited and the pairing are just perfect. Well done to the pro dancers and show producers. Can’t wait to tune in regularly.
Shirley is totally stunning good God her legs hips arms every inch of her are on fire!! Outstanding! Motsi brought a lot of everything to the floor to wipe it clean! Go girls go! I didn't even glance at the other pros on this occasion which is a first!! 💃💃💃
Shirley and Motsi both smashed it especially seeming Shirley is over 60, that was amazing !! Expected more from the guys though, Craig has no right to be so harsh when his choreography was so simple that anyone could do it !!
Polite Gordon Ramsay I'm not saying Bruno ain't fab, but I don't know what was wrong with him. He was dancing strangely & not doing the moves properly.
lauren james he’s undergone like three hip replacements has arthritis suffered very badly with anorexia and lives with the lasting side effects of it which is why he can’t dance really anymore but apparently when he was younger he was very good
I expected way more from Bruno & Craig. Both were off and seems like they could have went more in. The choreography was easy so totally surprised. The girls absolutely smashed it though!!
It seems like their roles in this particular dance were more for comedic effect rather than serious like the ladies. Have a look at some clips of Craig as Miss Hannigan if you want a true reflection of what he can do.
You go and do that dance live with millions of people. I bet you you are a 10 year old girl on their tablet playing roblox. Dont criticise it's just mean. Everyone thinks Craig is the big bad wolf well he just has the guts to tell the celebs what they are doing wrong
Mia Gravell so true, don’t know why people are judging the judges when they’re professional dancers when they probably don’t even know how to get the frame together 🤣
How glad I am to the new dance season. My favorite dancers are here again. I wish Giovanni victory. He deserves it and I have not seen the best dancer.
Craig moves better than Bruno and he’s had a hip replacement lol 😂 Shirley was just incredible and motsi looked amazing such a amazing dance xx 💖💖💖❤️❤️❤️
Shirley KILLED IT!! Motsi has the hips that would NEVER LIE!! Craig does a good Charleston type of dance and Bruno gives me sexuality every damn time! And just something I want to point out: Dianne looks good in green, she’s got hips that also don’t lie and her hair is just GORGEOUS!! ♥️♥️♥️
Motsi is such a great addition 😍 oh and Shirley showing her credentials once again. Great to see them showing their stuff! More of this is needed.
P.s - we’re sleeping on Nadiya!
YoshiPeach Mario it’s because motsi is a judge, not a pro. last year in the first live show, i think the new dancers got an dance intro, so nancy’s will probably be next week :)
YoshiPeach Mario well, that was embarrassing to read.
@YoshiPeach Mario interesting how your mind automatically went to race politics,seems to be your issue and not the BBC
YoshiPeach Mario Nancy won’t be partnered with a celebrity this year. That’s probably why. She may still get an intro in a couple of weeks when the series properly starts.
It's hard to believe that Shirley and Bruno are both over 60. They're still showing how it's done!
Bruno is bloody awful!!! Shirley is incredible!!!
Shirley and Motsi are life.
Craig is okay....ish...
Bruno just sways his hips...
Shirley's just turned 59
ImNotAStarWarsFanboy she’s still only 58 she turns 59 on 17 of September
@@keirak4110 she already had her birthday. That info on wikipedia about the 17th is wrong
Shirley proved why she is head judge in this dance, absolutely stunning!
She was great
MOTSIIIII!!!!!! And Shirley with those epic twirls and that sass!
Can we take a moment to appreciate that Shirley is 60 years old and ABSOLUTELY killed it 😱
Shirley really comes alive when she dances, she's brilliant! You can relly see in her face how much she loves it
New judge Motsi is absolutely perfect. She makes me smile
I think she was german ore world champion in Latin dance
We love her as a judge on the german version for years....hope she will never quit the job.
Shirley and Motsi wow 👌🏻🔥
New female pro is amazing too
Lindsay Elliott Yes❤️❤️
Lindsay elliot yes you are right about how amazing it is
It just feels so much fun this year with the judges...finally!
Yes feels so much fun this year with the judges.... finally

Shirley also doesnt know what shes talking about
Anton is the best judge
The new girl dancer Nancy was absolutely amazing in this! And Motsi and Shirley!!! Yaaaas! Queens!
Anyone else obsessed with the first part with thee three girls 😍 who’s else thinks they should do an ENTIRE style of Dance like that? 🙊
Me ... that latin samba music and the dance was the best 👌
Me😍😍😍
oh yess they should dance like that for another 3 minutes, it's so on fireeee
It was really superb!! What a great treat from the judges. A great mix of Samba and Jive and some funny steps from Bruno and Craig.

Every time I watch Motsi do her bit in this dance still gives me chills. Absolutely talented bunch💞
Motsi, Oti and Johannes flying the South African flag high - Proud SAn this side. 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Whoever choreographed and arranged this, job very well done! and the dancers are always great
Absolutely love it, time and time again~
Motsi is just fabulous😱 talent clearly runs in the family
AJ nailed his look to camera 😂😂
Ya can tell mosti and otie are sisters lol. They both have such amazing face actions and just look and sound sound so alike and both clearly amazing on the dance floor lol
And the bosoms!
Oti joining Strictly brought a fabulous, creative and beautiful member to the team who could wow you out your socks! Her AND her sister Motsi, just blow the roof right off the house!
Motsi is such a Queen, she absolutely killed this 💕
Can I just say Amy looks stunning and gorgeous as always!!!!!💖💖I love her so so much
Meg Pound It seems like she had a hard time last year with Danny? But she handled it well, like the professional she is.
1:04 AJS FACE 😂
Shirley is an amazing dancer. Easy to see why she is one of the most respected dancers in her industry
Hot damn! Loving the 'Say My Name' inspired sets! I've really missed this show!
This was the best dance number on Strictly EVER! Everyone, including the judges, was fantastic! And Oti was crazy sexy!
Can we also appreciate how Nancy was wearing a LEGIT bush. 😂 😂 😂
I could NOT take my eyes off oti at the start!
Just noticed that strictly has professionals from every continent excluding Antarctica for obvious reason and it’s so nice to just see them come together with dance!
Who’s from North/South America? I didn’t realise there were any haha
@@123ItsMeMary No it’s part of Europe my dear 😂 Look at a Map 🙌🏻
@@crazycatpetera1404 yeah, that's my bad, I definitely read the question wrong
I’m going to have to give this a 10. Amazing technique and facial expression from all the judges 😂
motsi is breathtaking! so much joy watching her.
1:36 I still come back just for this section, he’s clearly living his best life. I don’t care if the technique is shit... it gives me life and I love to see him happy and relaxed dancing after 3 hip replacements
Wow didn't know that! Good on him
SAME but I come specifically for diane she is awesome in this
Shirley Ballas!! Oh my word that Lady can dance!! Beautiful!!
To see Motsi performing and now judging at Strictly surprised me a lot. She is doing a fantastic job in the german version for years now! Get ready Britain for a lot of laugh and tears from the incredible Motsi Mabuse!
If I looked and danced like Oti, nobody would be able to tell me nothing. 😂 She is unreal in the beginning section 😍
Shirley Ballas showing why she is the head judge, I have mad love for Motsi.
Shirley still has it, that fast spin!!! 👌
If you watched Bruno at 1:48 he wasn’t doing the jive he was just moving his knees
True
Lol
Yeah, I'm guessing his knees can't take the sharp kicks anymore, it's a lot of shock to the knees switching between feet like that
Im from Germany where Motsi has been a judge for EVER and Im so glad she can show herself to the world! She is such an inspiration and a f*cking talent.
By the way: ive read her biography and she is a fabulous woman since birth!
am i the only one who thinks that craig wasn't on his best in this dance ??? i'm guessing the lady at 2:00 is the new judge ??? she's amazing !
living life i don't know i just started watching this show cause i'm a fan of joe and since i don't live in the uk i didn't even know this show existed, i know almost nothing about dancing but i can see that this was not good
@@MJspidey Only the two women (Shirley and Motsi) are professional dancers. The others have different theatre backgrounds.
He did have a hip replacement a few yrs back so that probably didn't help with his dancing ability
dajtoad1 really ? maybe that's it
18 Daisies aj okay, i didn't know that. It makes sense
Motsi was fabulous 👌 👏
Totally loved the theme and that Latin beat...
Who wasn’t tapping their foot to that!
Shirley and Motzi were on fire.
Bruno was good and Craig did really well considering that he has had a hip operation.
Go Motsi😊! Das sah einfach spitze aus.
Hot damn Aljaz, Giovanni and Graziano 🔥🔥
TheAmaaannndaaa and AJ
Ayla Rose can’t forget aj x
Could not take my eyes off Shirley and Motsi as soon as they came on though 😍
OMG😍 what a show stopper but truly honestly speaking Motsi was the cherry on top🍒❤
What’s the song called she danced too x
@@lily_is_amazing624 Mi Gente then shape of you
1:54 IMO new judge Motsi and the four pro guys SLAYED THE HOUSE! 💃🏿🔥🔥🔥🔥
Surely half the audience can't see most of this 😂 also Motsi you absolute Queen, what an entrance!!😲❤👏
Motsi,wow wot a strong performance.Her dance moves were crisp,she was leading the men.Love the tune they gave her to dance on too.
Wow Shirley is phenomenal - bloody hell she's my mum's age and, lovely as my mother is, I can't see her ever dancing like that!
Yes this is why I love strictly!!! The whole energy around it is amazing so glad it back xx
Johannes is a fantastic dancer ,you can see he just loves to dance with the same enthusiasm as Oti.
Dont forget Aljaz
Johannes is amazing!! Proudly South African!!
Motsi 😍😍 That was amazing!!!
Can we all take a moment to stan Shirley please?
i fall for oti every time
When Craig was dancing i was laughing sooo much.What was he doing lol.This was such an amzing dance.Plus Craig that was amazing seeing to dance and smile.LOL😂🤣
Dianne and Oti stunning 🤩🤩
New judge Motsi on fire 🔥🔥
All credit to the judges for daring to take to the floor, knowing that everyone will be watching them like hawks for any mistakes and that some will rejoice in a less than stellar performance.
What an incredible start to the series. So excited and the pairing are just perfect. Well done to the pro dancers and show producers. Can’t wait to tune in regularly.
the best dance performance hands down! absolutely amazing!
Shirley is totally stunning good God her legs hips arms every inch of her are on fire!! Outstanding! Motsi brought a lot of everything to the floor to wipe it clean! Go girls go! I didn't even glance at the other pros on this occasion which is a first!! 💃💃💃

You do know he sprained his knee that year and he is over 60
Shirley is the Queen, she steels the show everyone. Born to dance 💃
Motsi and Shirley are fantastic. Bruno and Craig....well, er, yeah.....
Love watching Shirley dance, Need more dance numbers including the judges.
This show makes me so happy, smiles for daaays! Love watching all these back!
yeahhhhh motsi!!!!^^amazing!!
that spin, shirley! It's iconic xx
Craig & Bruno, don't give up your jobs on the panel.
Rude😉
Tricia ikr 😂 😂
Polite Gordon Ramsay I'm not saying Bruno ain't fab, but I don't know what was wrong with him. He was dancing strangely & not doing the moves properly.
@@tricia4479 probably because hes old, i can't dance like i did 5 years ago, also maybe he's enjoying himself more than focusing on technique
Charlotte Munday so what's the point in having him "dancing" if he CANT "dance" ?
Aj’s face at 1:04 had me in hysterics 😂
So the orange room with Shirley and the guys, Neil’s head just blended right in
I love Craig but for how harshly he judges he has no room to criticize lol
Alex Ramirez Especially when he criticises people for pulling faces when dancing!
Alex Ramirez i mean he, apparently, has osteoarthritis and hip replacements so he’s not going to be able to dance as well as he used to
lauren james he’s undergone like three hip replacements has arthritis suffered very badly with anorexia and lives with the lasting side effects of it which is why he can’t dance really anymore but apparently when he was younger he was very good
And just because you can't perform it so well anymore doesn't mean your eye for detail is any the worse. He still knows what he's looking for.
Liam Correct. Just had hip replacement.
These people are amazing!!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Wow. They are all fantastic.
Am I the only one that kind of wishes that gorka could have had a partner this year because I've always loved his choreography
Me too. I know he and Gemma Atkinson have just had a baby so maybe that's the reason.
Alice Baker I feel like this but with Graziano, he’s been put on the backseat but I love Johannes so that makes up for it
SHIRLYYYYYYY GET IT!!!🔥🔥🔥
Mad respect for Shirley's dancing! 👏👏👏
Shirley and Motsi are fire in human form. Just so intense.
I love Ricky Martin's music. it always makes me feel like dancing. I hope there's more of it in the show :D
Motsi went from being a judge on the German version Let's Dance to the British version. Well done
Nancy is on 🔥 fire
I expected way more from Bruno & Craig. Both were off and seems like they could have went more in. The choreography was easy so totally surprised. The girls absolutely smashed it though!!

Craig has had two hip replacements, so cut him a bit of slack
The ladies really showing the guys how its done
Shirley proved yet again she is an exceptional technical dancer!
The begging....wowwww
IT'S A BOMB!!!! 💣💣💣😍
How glad I am to the new dance season. My favorite dancers are here again. I wish Giovanni victory. He deserves it and I have not seen the best dancer.
WOOOOO LETS GO MOTSI!!!!
Love this. In our German version, two of the male judges can hardly dance. Motsi is our best judge in Germany.
I love this dance especially when Motsi showed up
Shirley was 🔥🔥!! They're all amazing and make the nation smile whenever their show is on air..
And we're off for another great season people! Ooo I'm so excited! ❤️❤️❤️
Craig moves better than Bruno and he’s had a hip replacement lol 😂 Shirley was just incredible and motsi looked amazing such a amazing dance xx 💖💖💖❤️❤️❤️
Look Dwts! This is diversity and talent!
Dwts dont have diversity? Russia ukrine aust south africa england how much more diversity u need an all of them are beyond talented
Can't really blame the dancers blame Mandy Moore
OMG Diane’s hair 🤩🥰
1:05 AJ IS LOOKING AT CAMERA LOL 😂
Also Craig’s face at 1:45 😋
Shirley KILLED IT!! Motsi has the hips that would NEVER LIE!! Craig does a good Charleston type of dance and Bruno gives me sexuality every damn time! And just something I want to point out: Dianne looks good in green, she’s got hips that also don’t lie and her hair is just GORGEOUS!! ♥️♥️♥️
So funny seeing Shirley and Anton dancing together after this week’s drama 😂
Yo_itz_me ! This was filmed before the drama happened
Shirley is EVERYTHING in that intro. ❤
I love when the judges dance
