This young lady is a phenomenon and whatever comes to pass as it all plays out, for me she has put herself up there with the best that there has been over the years. Good man Gorka for cultivating her aptitude and desire. What a team!

There was something special about this one for me. This was something different from any dance this series. The best way i can describe it is this, this dance was an outpouring of the emotion that has been pent up inside Maisie since day 1. The elegance, grace, and fluidity in her arms is dare i say some of the best we have ever seen on strictly. For me another faultless performer and THE deserving finalist this series. 10/10

I feel nothing but pride for Maisie this series. As someone who is of a similar age to Maisie and who much like her has been knocked down for being too confident or cocky, I can’t help but be proud for how much she has pushed through to deliver exquisite performance week on week, for me she should have been the deserving front runner the whole way through this competition. It’s unfortunate that the British public can’t handle a young girl who is confident in her own ability.

10/10. Beautiful dance. She definitely has a shot at that glitterball trophy

[stubbsie]

Elegant, graceful. Viennesse is essentially a quicker waltz, heel turns were beautiful.

[tncookies]

Absolutely beautiful! Maisie and Gorka have been amazing and should take the trophy.

[gonzaloperez]

They really don’t know how lucky they are for being able to dance such beautiful dances like this one. I have been taking Ballroom lesson for a while now and I miss dancing with my partner so much 🥺

[reddragonready]

Girl was Floating!!! Gorgeous and the couple that should have won the glitterball!

[ribena]

This was absolutely gorgeous! She achieved everything she wanted to prove to the judges with her footwork and elegance. I really felt HER through the dance, the emotion was palpable and that made it really touching. Just stunning.

[pennyandfishy]

😲😲😲 Just everything was right. Not a single gap, her musicality, sway all the way through, her lines were finished beautifully, double rotation and her fleckel wow. Her top line was sublime and tonight her footwork was perfect. Such a beautiful stillness to her frame and lovely arched back. The storytelling and chemistry was on point. She totally relaxed in this and got everything right. She makes it look so easy. Graceful, elegant, sophisticated, stylish and romantic! Everything required for a Viennese Waltz. Best dancer of the night. Lovely flow across the floor too. She is in the final 100%. Just Gorgeous. *10/10* once again

[MarniMoon.]

She's a stunningly beautiful dancer! 💜💜💜💜

[kmitchpg]

Gorgeous! Wonderful footwork but it's her hands that are so perfect, finishing the lines so beautifully.

[jackebaze]

A beautifully talented dancer beyond her years... Mesmorising performance

[claresharp]

She performed beautiful in this i hope she goes on to win it she is the best dancer on there I love watching her every week

[SiasCreations]

This was so so gorgeous, and it shows how far Maisie has come. Would we have ever thought at the start that we would see her glide across the dance floor like this? Emotion pitched perfectly and such a moving piece! Beautiful beautiful!

[nahm]

Beautiful. She's a natural and pulls every single dance off.

[nicolad]

Everything about this is just beautiful.
