Now, THIS is a journey. Literally so happy for them!

[justjoss]

I’m so ecstatic for Alex, she’s grown in so much confidence and definitely seems more relaxed and looked like she was loving every moment - although (and I think we can all agree) the mess that was last week with the scores etc. made us lose faith in some of the couples, but I think with Dev leaving it made everyone work so much harder... well done Alex - best dance of the night 💗

[padimcclay]

This is by FAR her best dance
I thought the choreography was great.
8/10

Absolutely loved this dance - so pleased to see Alex finally come into her own. Her chemistry with Neil is great and how chic does she look in that tux? Hope we see more of this energy from her in the weeks to come!

Best dance of the night! Alex is growing so much and Neil is amazing at what he does. I'm so happy for them, and I hope Alex keeps this up with their Latin and ballroom dances. I've been voting for team red ever since the beginning and after watching this I feel they have a chance to be in the final.

Also that chemistry 👀

ABOUT TIME! I take back my comments about Neil’s choreography this was 🔥. Their synchronicity was impeccable and the musicality that she has was amazing. It reminded me of Charles’ breakthrough last year with his street dance let’s just hope she can keep it up. 9/10

[niamhjoan]

One of my favourite Charleston’s ever on strictly!

Pocket rocket Alex takes cute to another level here. Those facial expressions! They both seem to be so happy out there, and the whole 'look' is spot-on. One to watch and re-watch.

FINALLY, Alex has arrived! I hope it's not a one-off. Her confidence has really boosted over the weeks so far and her performances have benefited (David should take a leaf out of her book!) -- their chemistry is so genuine too. 9 from me.

Best performance yet by Alex! She looked amazing!

[janestratton]

Pure magic! this is my favourite dance of this series of Strictly!!

[jules]

i keep coming back to this iconic dance

[elainescotland]

Alex deserves 40 for this dance. Every step every facial expression every shrug of her shoulders is perfect. Love love love this dance. Go Alex.

[lovelymess]

It was so nice to see Alex enjoying herself and SMASHING it!!! I love this dance so much and you best believe that the majority of these views are going to be mine.

[carolinedaly]

One of the dances of the series so far. Great song, great routine and Alex got to show her personality. She looked so confident. Brilliant!

[Tanful]

This is my favorite dance of Alex’s. Wow. She did well. She kept up with Neil for the most part :)) I hope she continues doing well

[RootsDaughter]

Best dance tonight, Alex has always been underscored in previous dances, it's like the judges not really feeling her, but tonight they couldn't really argue and had to mark her properly. Good routine and the outfits (white lined bottoms) helped to show how good she was in timing etc.

[susancook]

Another magic moment... I love Strictly! This is what it is all about, watching the celebs surprising us week after week. Good luck Alex...keep it coming girl!

[rumarahim]

[heidiblades]
