Some fabulous dances tonight. Rose is my favourite by a country mile but I did like AJ's quickstep.

I loved the show tonight, as I usually do.
They all deserved to be in tonight's semi-final.

Who will be in the dance off? I think it will be John & Rhys.
I look forward to tomorrow evening, ( hope not to see any "spoilers").

Rose, AJ, and John for the final. AJ to win. Although I think it will be Rose.

Regarding contemporary dance just remembered something called Ghost Dance performed by Rambert Ballet. Had it recorded and watched it repeatedly. So I guess I like some.
Agree with Sparklefizz about Anton's over the top behaviour.
Hopefully dance off between Rhys and John.

I would like Rose, Rhys and AJ in the final; I don't think John and Johannes have developed in the past few weeks in the way the others have, and I think John would have been better with a different partner.
But it will be a close run thing, taking place now I imagine.

Same here Sweetpeasue and they all deserve to win

Show just absolutely wonderful tonight. All just such a high standard. So Rose and Giovanni 's Tango was something exceptional, I was mesmerised. Their waltz was exquisite and effortlessly controlled. AJs Quickstep was just up my street. Her dress and the style of this quickstep reminded me of the old Fred Astair and Ginger Rodgers films. Loved it. My heart is with Rhys and his dancing, he's so good now. They all are. And I've run out of expletives.
So - - AJ, Rhys and Rose for the Final for me.

AJ's quickstep was sensational. An example of perpetual motion! How she maintained the accuracy I can't imagine. And I also thought her rumba was worthy of the final. It's difficult but she created a character and remained in it.
This episode should have been the final!

PS Pina Bausch is very well known in contemporary dance circles.

I've been going to contemporary dance performances since seeing LCDT 50 years ago under the direction of Robert Cohan. Having said that, this is the first time that I've seen proper contemporary dance and I thought it was wonderful.

However, Rose and Giovanni's Argentine Tango was absolutely brilliant. So 2 votes for Rose and 1 for John.

Another brilliant night.
I loved Rose's Argentine Tango.
AJ and Kai were brilliant too.
I felt a bit disappointed with John and Johannas, not sure why, didn't really like the music, that might have been it.
Rhys was ok, but I didn't like the music for that either.
I think its between Rhys and John to go.

I reckon John and Rhys in the dance off.

AJ and Rose to battle it out I think.

Rose is beautiful and she makes it look effortless.

OH MY WORD!!! What an evening! I think it was probably the best semi-final ever.

I loved AJ's Quickstep - fabulous old-style glamour like Fred & Ginger. Made me want to cry. A well-deserved 40.
And their Rumba - very sensual. Fantastic.

And Rose - what can I say? I am still feeling very moved by her Argentine Tango. Couldn't take my eyes off them.

With John and Johannes and their Couples Dance, I didn't like the lift at the end which they held for several seconds.

Anton was ultra irritating with his oohs and aahs and all his snuffling over Rose's Arg Tango. Why can't he just speak in a proper sentence? Craig put it simply as "This dance deserves to be in the final."

I think dance off will be John and Rhys and I’d like Rhys to stay.

Famous choreographer of contemporary dance.

I've been underwhelmed by John this week. I wasn't keen on either of his dances. AJs rumba wasn't great either. However I think Rhys might go home

I agree I think it’s between Rhys and John to go.

Rose & Giovanni stood out for me.

Googled her now (thought she might be distantly related to a Spanish cousin, Pina Colada)
