just bring back Ian waite we need class and elegance on the dance floor
Afraid I would say goodbye to Robin, too much muscle and !look at me! and Jared, too young not enough teaching experience and just looks like he is on work experience.

Happy with all the girl dancers

Males - Artem, James, Vincent, Anton and Robin to return ... I would definitely bring Matthew Cutler back and would then add one completely new and carefully chosen pro. I'd drop Brendan for one series, as I think he's got a bit comfortable and his heart hasn't really seemed in it to me for a while.

Not sure about the females, but if changes are made I'd expect more changes for the girls this year than the boys. All of the current girls have their own strengths, so it would be a tough group to change.

Personally I would get rid of Jared and bring back Brian as Jared looked like a young boy lost and not a clue what he was doing.
But...keep Artem as he is an amazing dancer

Ive said this before but bring back Matt and pair him with Aliona, they are brilliant together

Brendan Cole & Karen Hardy
Anton Du Beke & Erin Boag
James Jordan & Ola Jordan
Artem Chigvintsev & Katya Virshilas
Matt Cutler & Nicole Cutler
Ian Waite & Natalie Lowe
Brian Fortuna & Kristina Rihanoff

Feel very bad for cutting V&F but I just don't feel as strongly about them, Vincent especially. If we go back to 16 couples, I'd definitely include them again.

No one wants Jared so far! Surprise!

I've said that before too, and I still agree

Perhaps if we keep saying it, it may come true!

Matt & Aliona were a surprisingly nice pairing, but for me nothing can beat Matt & Nicole together. I doubt it's possible now, but I'd still love for them to return. I saw Nicole dancing on Brendan's tour recently, and she was as brilliant as ever.

Cant see it happening

Totally agree with that

I agree - they were fabulous together on the pro tour last year, and with their hip hop samba during series 7. I loved watching Matt and Nicole together in series 5 (the first series I properly watched), but I think it's less likely that Nicole would return.

I really hope they bring Ian back this year, he and Natalie are a brilliant partnership, and I actually prefer him dancing with her than with Camilla....

You clearly havent read alot of peoples choices then

I really like Jared , i hate to say though he seemed totally out of his depth in scd last yr . i can see the the scd producers are trying to change the image of strictly but with jared it just didnt seem to work . Maybe with more experience of the whole show he will gel much better next season , i have a feeling he will be kept with Artem and Robin along with another new male pro .

I wouldn't be surprised if they let Jared go- it would be the same pattern as when Brian, Kristina and Hayley joined. Hayley had a few fans but not many, so she was not kept on for the following year.

who knows , i never thought they would let brian go as he seemed to have a lot of fans . they seem to be going for the dwts look

Aliona and Matthew

Natalie and Artem

Katya and Jared

Matthew & Nicole Cutler were on our recent cruise and did a fantastic performance. Matthew did say that the Strictly format would probably be changing again this year and to watch this space! I'd love to see both him and Nicole back...Nicole was really lovely and my husband was well chuffed when she danced a fabulous cha cha cha with him! My friend also got to dance with Matthew!

I'd like to see Artem come back, but wouldn't mind if they dropped Jaared and must admit Anton is starting to get on my nerves!

Anton Du Beke or maybe Robin windsor, can't decide. I like Anton for fun although I'd like to see what Robin Windsor could do with a better partner

100% agree

Almost forgot about Hayley as she was only on for such a short time. Agree that Jared might go. He wasn't really a big impact on the show.

Agree with that totally

Also forgot to say that I am happy...ish with the female pro's men need a bit of change
