Beautiful song Beautiful dance.
Well done both of you. Layton you are a true star.

[sabinevanharen]

So beautifully choreographed, I love how it allows them to show exactly what they're good at! For me, this is the best they've done storytelling wise. Then something completely unrelated to the content of this dance: I can’t get over how soft Nikita looks in this 🥹🥰

[rebelhenz]

I must express my admiration for how Layton assumed the lead during the switch. It was truly divine, and Nikita's blissful expression was captivating. Their smiles create a dreamy atmosphere. These two are the genuine winners, forming an exceptional partnership. They've been my source of strength during tough times this year. Here's to looking forward to a new year. ❤😊

This dance really showcases their strong and beautiful connection and chemistry ❤️ Nikita gave Layton such sweet looks during the dance. And I love the tender and/or passionate touches on their faces and torso Nikita choreographed in multiple dances; very sensual and gives beautiful tension. 🔥

What a beautiful, tender and peaceful dance - a real honouring of their wonderful relationship!

[salutiesse]

Our boys are the winners of this serie <3 So glad for their partnership this year- really charged me this Autumn-Winter season.You’re both AMAZING together, and am so honoured to have watched your dances, and to see that AT with this Rumba still on my mind, complemented by the Showdance and Quickstep, was a perfect embodiment of what you are as individuals and to each other xx Beauties.

[rebelhenz]

Let's dive into the stellar performance. The rumba, while not everyone's cup of tea, holds a special place in my heart. A touch more intensity could have elevated it, but the sensuality, chemistry, and passion were just right. The genuine admiration between these two is palpable. They've truly captivated me, they're the ones who deserve to win.

[lucianaborinato]

Layton is simply a phenomenal dancer, and together with Nikita, they make magic! ❤❤

[dyaneleblanc]

Watching Nikita was so sweet. That proud smile he gave Layton. Love them!’

Massive improvement in terms of learning how to contain his energy and slow it down when needed. I had a lump in my throat watching this, what a beautiful dance ❤
