Legends say even the terminally online go offline for Christmas. Or so they say.

Barry and Dianne Cha Cha to Christmas Wrapping

Youtube video

Nikolai and Michelle Couples choice (Contemporary) to Santa Claus is coming to town

Youtube video

Maru
"Gives me riding home bus coming home from college/part time vibes. For the memory flash, this already rates pretty high for me. The dance combo is also equally emotive-inducing and thus, this is a gem"
Score: 10!

Oliver
Score: 7

Ammi
Simply Sparkling and Sensational!!!!
Score: 10!

TOTAL: 27

[Strictly Jake]

Cherie and Vito Viennese Waltz to Carol of the bells

Youtube video

Maru
"A shame it's too short. It's a very modern, but classy take and yet brings fresh vibes to the genre. Expected just a little bit more drama in the song to push it over the top, but the dance selection is on point"
Score: 9

Oliver
Score: 8

Ammi
breathtakingly beautiful Viennese Waltz
Score: 8

TOTAL: 25

[Strictly Jake]

Jake and Katya Jive to Run Rudolph Run

Youtube video

Maru
"The song overpowers so much with the artist's own unique style that it doesn't invoke the Christmas theme for me as much some of the other selections. The dance is very fitting to the song selection though and I can easily see the vision of the person who chose it. Unfortunately this week is strong in selections so I have to rate this lower."
Score: 6

Oliver
Score: 8

Ammi
a jive that just put the joyful into Christmas
Score: 10!

TOTAL: 24

[Strictly Jake]

Liam and Nancy Charleston to Hang your lights

Youtube video

Maru
"I can see this dance as being a treasured memory of some important night or critical life moment during the holidays. Or maybe part of a BB Christmas music insert. It fits the theme and also adds a personal-ness that the other selections have not managed. Well done."

Score: 10!

Oliver
Score: 7

Ammi
a beautiful unwrapping of every step of your Charleston
Score: 8

TOTAL: 25

[Strictly Jake]

Vanessa and Kai Couples Choice (Contemporary) to Where are you Christmas?

Score: 10!

Oliver

Magical and perfect!!! I think that we just found Christmas
