Ok since this came up in a thread and perhaps we need reminders that rumba can be great too - what's everyone's fav?

    Colin Jackson
    Colin Jackson's my joint favourite along with Kara & Artem's and John & Johannes' last year but as I can only pick one, it'll be Colin's for demonstrating that a "man can dance the Rumba and not be a glorified pole for the female to move round" :D

    Usually I can't stand the Rumba.

    Kara. Not just my fave rumba, but my all time favourite dance on Strictly (the pink version, despite the tiny wobble stepping backwards)

    Special mentions for Rachel Stevens and Natalie Gumede

    Cherie Lunghi
    Torn between Colin Jackson - still the best male rumba - and Cherie Lunghi. One of James Jordan's best choreographies - elegant, mature and sensual rumba.

    Hands down, John and Johannes for me. Two big blokes, dancing so sensitively and tenderly.
    Made me cry the first time, still does now.

    Also love Colin, Kara, Jay, Cherie

    Without a doubt, Jay and Aliona's to Falling Slowly. It was so romantic instead of raunchy which I prefer.

    Really really torn - I loved Jay's rumba, but voted Kelvin - I guess I just loved it that little bit more

    John and Jojo the only rumba i've really liked.
    I hate the rumba and would happily see it ditched for good

    I was torn between Ashley and Kara. I can't hold a cigarette paper between them so it's unfair I voted for Kara. Today, I'd vote for Ashley.

    Just realised that Ashley's rumba wasn't included in the options above, so she would have to be included under the category "Other". That is a shameful omission for a Strictly poll of favourite Rumbas to exclude such a fabulous Rumba under the title of "Other". Shame on you !!

    For me it's Kara & Artem. They had good chemistry together, i like the choreography & the music (Samba Pa Ti by Santana) & Kara looks stunning.


    I've also got a bit of a soft spot for Katie & Anton's Rumba, which i thought was one of Katie's best dances of the series:

    Also an honourable mention for Cherie & James's Rumba. I like the choreography, & i think the song they're dancing to is Songbird, written by the late Christine McVie:

    Ten options only and that's nine with anyone else option - I'm not shamed.....sorry not sorry.
