I've just been thinking about the dances that some of the pros haven't had a chance to choreograph yet with their celeb partners and how it would be good to finally see them get a chance to perform them this year. For example:

Robin: Foxtrot, Rumba & Paso Doble
Brendan: Charleston & Salsa
Erin: Argentine Tango
Pasha: Vienesse Waltz
James: Argentine Tango
Artem: Samba
Anton: Argentine Tango

That's all I could think of but feel free to correct me or add any others (including dances say we haven't seen for over two years from a pro).

I don't think Anton has ever danced an AT.

Think James has choreographed an AT with Pam but only the rehearsal was ever available to view.

Oh yeh don't think he has - will update list. Also just thought that I don't think Robin has done a Foxtrot either? I would love to see him Rumba though.

Yes that's right - I still added it to the list since it essentially ended up on the cutting room floor.

I don't think he's danced a V Waltz either - unless with Laila?

Yes, he's danced a VW with Laila and Jan Ravens.

Brendan danced a Salsa with Sarah Manners

That was the Samba which they were eliminated with when Strictly was at Blackpool for Series 2.

From Hayley

Brenda Salsa'd with Lisa Snowdon (series 6, week 2) and with Claire King (series 4, week 5) according to Ultimate Strictly

Brendan has danced the Salsa twice - with Claire King and Lisa Snowdon so sorry to be cheeky but your original list to be changed slightly.

Sorry double post.

Ola hasn't danced the AT either (and neither had Katya before she left)

ETA - sorry, Ola has done the AT

She has - she danced with Chris Hollins in series 7 week 13.

From Hayley

Oh yes, just spotted that - it was off the bottom of the list!!

Wow so four years since he last did it - definitely due this year then.

Then of course there are those who left before the Charleston became a permanent dance - i.e. Matthew, Lilia, Darren, and Natalie and Vincent were the only pros who danced the easily forgettable Rock n' Roll. Jared didn't dance the Waltz, Salsa, Samba, Tango, American Smooth, Paso Doble, Rumba, Quickstep or Jive, and Katya never danced an Argentine Tango or Charleston.

Prob for the best since he was completely out of his depth being on the show - not entirely his fault though.

poor Jared, he really was totally out of his depth wasnt he - I wonder what he is doing now

I love Jared - I think he's just fine now plus he's still in touch with the rest of the Strictly dancers even though he is not there anymore.

From Hayley

I wasnt implying that he wasnt fine, just that he looked totally out of his depth when he was on Strictly also just curious as to what he was doing dance wise now

Oh sorry I was just defending Jared because I really like him - I think he is just doing other projects which may involve dancing but not sure.

From Hayley

I'm not entirely sure I'd class Erin and Peter Shilton's Charleston as a ''dance'' lol, I have nightmares about that.

Same could be said about a lot of the others too I suppose!

They obviously loved the dance, though, since they did it on tour (along with the VW). Always a shame that the third-placed couple doesn't get to do something they've rehearsed - such a waste.

Anyway, here it is for those of you who didn't go to the 2011 tour: Pamela and James - Argentine Tango

As for the pros who have yet to choreograph a dance, I'd really like to see Artem choreograph a samba, since it is a speciality of his.

Me too!

Jared seems like one of those soap opera stars who came in for a big story line then vanished when the producers realised that it wasn't working properly.
