Welcome to So You Think You Can't Dance launch show!

Tonight we'll be welcoming the couples and meeting our judges!

Around this time last year Izzie (IzzieStar) and Natalie Lowe lifted the So You Think You Can’t Dance glitter ball, who will be next?

So You Think You Can’t Dance (SYTYCD for short) is a forum participation game where forum members are partnered up with Strictly professionals of their choice and take on different dances where they have to do [highlight] AS BAD AS POSSIBLE [/highlight] (Which dancing.queen struggled to grasp last year!). Let your imagination run wild, you could dance Starstrukk for a Waltz or My Way by Frank Sinatra for a Jive, perhaps you could stage a routine involving dancing hippos and the Tweenies whilst doing a Rumba to Happy! Some weeks will have themes which contestants must stick too but apart from that you can run wild!

    There's a distinct lack of same-sex couples this series. :(

    Now, it's time to find out who will be marking our lovely seven couples! There are four couples but only three will mark each week, they will rotate each week so scores will be out of 30! Scores will be from 1 (Actually good) to 10 (Astonishingly bad).

    So without further ado....

    Now contestants, you're all probably wondering what dance you'll be doing, will we be starting is simple with the Cha Cha Cha & Waltz or be a bit more adventurous like last year with the Rumba & Quickstep? Your first dance is the.....

    Contestants, I'm hoping the first show will be on Wednesday so ideally I'd like your songs by Monday at 9:30.

    The first panel will be made up of...

    Danny (Damahepa)
    Stuart (Stuart25)
    Ross (rosco2010)


    Which means Jas' (king yrcanos) will take the night off and next week we'll alternate. There will be no elimination this week and no voting which means you'll all get two chances to do as bad as possible!

    Not that I'd ever give hints as to how to get good marks (or otherwise) from me, but any soap-related songs will go down poorly (or well... this game is confusing in concept!) :p

    1 is for could actually be used and 10 is astonishingly bad. I'm not gonna put score caps but I'd rather none of you do a Donny Osmond and throw out a ten so early on. :p:blush:

    If anyone Argentine Tango's to the theme from Coronation Street they could get a Donny 10! ;)

    (I mean, you won't, because that's my idea now... and that's just lazy if you steal it!) :p

    *waits for someone to send in the Emmerdale theme tune*

    Although a Donny ten is only half a real ten. ;-)
