Which dancers have gone?

I have just been reading my Radio Times and the article about SCD says there are two new female dancers. Can anyone tell me who has gone. Thanks.

Karen and Camilla. Hayley isn't returning either.

Thanks for your reply - did they choose to go or did the Beeb just want new dancers.

I think that SCD are allergic to British female pro dancers - we have none now Karen has gone.

Bit of a joke isn't it - British SCD, with no British female pro's!

I didn't realise that. Could it be that ballroom dancing is more popular abroad and therefore the foreign dancers are better? I don't know - just wondering.

OP there are three new female pros -

Natalie Lowe - Australian (SCD partner is Ricky Whittle)

Aliona Vilani - Russian (SCD partner is Rav Wilding)

Katya Virshilas - Lithuanian (SCD partner is Phil Tufnell)

They replace Karen, Camilla and Hayley.

Camilla left by choice. Hayley wasn't asked back and Karen left by mutual agreement

Probably just cheaper.

Camilla and Karen seemed fixtures to me - I'm surprised their contracts weren't renewed. As for Hayley - I found her a little distant, but it must be quite a cliquey show to participate in - perhaps she was just shy

Camilla could have stayed if she wanted to.

Camilla announced her retirement from SCD on live TV the day after she won the glitterball with Tom.

BTW it was Camilla who did the draw for which couple danced in week one and week two which was a nice touch!

Karen has a lot of business commitments since she opened her new dance studio and she was unsure what would happen this year, but don't worry because she is still involved with the show - although we haven't had the exact details of her new role.

I'll miss Karen. She and Mark gave us one of the best Strictly partnerships to date.

I never warmed to Camilla and Hayley made no impact whatsoever.

Isn't Karen going to be doing the choreography for the group dances ?

Yes, but it is my understanding she will be doing more than that.

I actually LOL'd this morning at Bruce. He and Tess..(or it could just be him are in the mag that comes free with the Daily Express), the journalist asked him about will he miss Karen and Camilla, and he said yes etc and blah, they had their reasons for leaving and he respected Camilla for leaving as a champion, but there's 3 new ones who will be great.

Now, either he forgot Hayley existed, or simply because the journalist didn't mention her name either..but, point proven really. Hayley Who?
