Hopefully we will get Tonight from West Side Story and The Phantom Of The Opera (from the musical of the same name) too

I can't see them using this after they used it for Kara and Artem's Paso last year.

I never understand them using songs for dances that they aren't designed for.

why not ?Its the perfect music for a paso.

ianswaiting probably thinks it's more suited to a Tango (and I can see why - it's one of those songs that can go with both Tango and Paso, "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones can also be used for either Tango or Paso)

I agree - I thought that song that Chelsee and Pasha used on saturday for their salsa was awful - didn't feel like a good salsa song to me.

Wednesday bump.

Who's on ITT tonight of the undeclared dances? ?Robin and Anita?

None of them were.... (except Vehicle... and that bugged me because of it ruined an Iconic Strictly dance).

According to next week's TV Times Chelsee is doing the cha cha cha.

It's very naughy of me but I couldn't resist.

Is Nancy dancing with Father Jack to the Drinking Song from The Student Prince?

From ITT

Harry and Anita are jiving, Chelsee is cha-cha-cha-ing

And that's the set!

That's a 9-4 split then - thought there'd be more people doing Latin tbh.

Not sure I'm thrilled about this wide range of dances so early in the competition... Especially as so few are doing Latin.

Probably trying to even up the Latin/Ballroom split for later.

True

Looks as though it goes like this then:

Nancy - B, L, B
Jason - L, B, B
Holly - L, L, B
Robbie - L, B, B
Russell - L, L, B
Audley - B, L, B
Rory - B, L, B
Dan - B, L, B
Alex - L, B, B
Lulu - L, B, L
Chelsee - B, L, L
Anita - B, L, L
Harry - L, B, L

So here are the direct comparisons in terms of dances done/doing so far:

Nancy, Audley, Rory, Dan - ballroom, latin, ballroom
Jason, Robbie, Alex - latin, ballroom, ballroom
Holly, Russell - latin, latin, ballroom
Lulu, Harry - latin, ballroom, latin
Chelsee, Anita - ballroom, latin, latin


So out of those direct comparisons - Rory, Jason, Holly, and Harry are the frontrunners. Anita and Chelsee are evenly matched.

From the training footage today Jason looked good as did chelsee
