The BBC site has started putting up training videos, one by one, starting with Kimberley and Pasha:

Many thanks to Lady Ambrosia who has already put the video on youtube for non-Flash or overseas folk

Kimberley is looking good with two weeks to go. Pasha seems a very good teacher.

She certainly does.

Puzzled! I think it's still there but not as dIrect link.

Try this:

Yeah, Cesar Milan good. He gets his reward in instantly. I like the two of them together though I wasn't sure I was ready to see him with someone other than Chelsee, being a soft-hearted kind of fool.

Aaah, it looks like this forum's machinery has messed about with the URL so it can't be linked to directly.

Doesn't the new link work? It works for me on my ipad...

Back to the long way round. Google 'SimplyPasha Kimberley'. That should do it (SimplyPasha is Lady A's youtube channel)

Kimberely looks good, seems like she's making fast progress She and Pasha seem to be hitting it off

'Faired'? Oh BBC

I just clicked the link and it worked perfectly

Richard and Erin training clip

Richard's really likeable when he's not doing his jester thing

Actually, I don't mind him being 'funny' in small doses, but I thought he might not be able to let go of it and it would grow old very quickly. I didn't think he and Erin would be a good match, but they seem to be good together.

He is the one person, apart from the two Olympians, and Dani, I hadn't heard of before the Launch show, so I'd got no preconceptions. It turns out he is extraordinarly articulate about the experience, the waking up of the brain and the vital link of 'yearning'. Lovely vid, Dilly .

PS to folk on ipads and the like. The Photon app is cheap at the mo and lets you watch Flash vids / play games etc. It's not perfect but it's something

Thanks for the tip and I'll definitely be looking into getting it. That is what annoys me about iPad and I didn't realise there was a solution for it.

I think technically it's a browser but by no means as good as Safari. It's not a replacement. I just copy the urls and turn to Photon when I find a video that a) I must watch but b) not so much so that I'll get onto my legs and go find the laptop.

It's not as sharp or free running as watching on your computer.

I think Richard seems more likable than I thought and whilst having fun I think he will really try, thanks for posting

Louis and Flavia training clip Looks good...

Thanks Dilly .
Very excited to see what these two can do.

They look great for Day 1.... Can't wait to see what they will be like on the live show now

Hi - you don't need anything else to watch the training videos on an iPad. BBC aren't using Flash for them any more I guess as the link has worked just fine for me on mine in Safari

And Louis/Flavia looking really good...

I wonder how long? I just hadn't tried... (= thick idiot )
Thanks for the hint!!

Louis and Flavia look terrific. No wonder he's aching with all those muscles. I suppose they get into the right balance with each other for what he does, leaping up to the ceiling and tying himself in knots and what have you, and then the different demand of dance creates a whole different relationship between them. OUCH!

They look good too. A little pain but he seems to have no problem coordinating those hips of his and picking up the moves.

It's good to see Flavia and Louis bonding well and making fast progress

Ooh, those hips look good for day 1. . Bruno's going to spontaneously combust.

And if he can control his body that well, his might be the only male rhumba where I haven't had to hide behind a cushion.
