I hope Johnny gets a waltz.Or are they determined to kill him off with all these energy sapping dances ? Give the man a break.

Last year they did the Salsa and Foxtrot in week 2.

Sid has just tweeted that he can't wait to salsa - surely they're not all doing different dances this early?!

We have evidence for two viennese waltzes, a jive, two cha-cha-chas and a salsa thus far...

They all started doing different dances in week 3 last year so one week earlier isn't a huge change.

And Lisa keeps mentioning Viennese Waltz so maybe there is a free for all.

Colin & Kristina - Viennese Waltz (Colin's twitter)
Dani & Vincent - ? (should be latin)
Denise & James - ? (should be latin, Kimberley mentioned 'jazz hands' in a tweet to Denise about it)
Fern & Artem - ? (should be ballroom)
Jerry & Anton - ? (should be ballroom, she mentioned foxtrot on Saturday's show but the comment is open to interpretation)
Johnny & Iveta - ? (should be ballroom)
Kimberley & Pasha - ? (should be ballroom)
Lisa & Robin - Viennese Waltz (Lisa's twitter)
Louis & Flavia - ? (should be ballroom)
Michael & Natalie - Jive (suggested on Natalie's twitter)
Nicky & Karen - Cha-Cha-Cha (Tess on Friday's show/Nicky and Karen's twitter)
Richard & Erin - Cha-Cha-Cha (Tess on Saturday's show/Richard's twitter)
Sid & Ola - Salsa (suggested on Sid's twitter)
Victoria & Brendan - ? (should be ballroom)

Must say i'm not liking what i am reading about everyone doing different dances already

I guess it makes sense they are doing different dances already. I think many celebs request a certain dance before they are eliminated in week 2.

Nor me but it is only a week earlier than last year (which I still wasn't happy about!)

If I had to choose between the free for all or Waltz & Cha Cha again then I would go for the former - for my RIP reason before.

I quite like the idea of the free for all. You get to see some types of dance performed much earlier plus leaving a cha cha or waltz to later allows you to compare and contrast just how far someone has come.

Natalie looks like she is being sensible and getting the jive out of the way when all the contestants are still there and may help keep Michael in it....

Don't go with the one Latin, one Ballroom thing- last year it didn't work out like that.

Johnny and Iveta have a foxtrot

Johnny tweeted this morning

There's no way that many of them are confused looks like it's free for all from now on then I really don't see the point, when there's only two dances I don't feel there's a lack of variety, there's enough differences in ability levels to make it interesting. I suppose as long as there's some good dances it doesn't really matter, but it is a shame.

Anyway, Jerry & Anton and Louis & Flavia or on It Takes Two tonight so we should hear what they're dancing later.

I'm living in hope that there'll be four dances to choose from, rather than all the dances. We haven't heard Paso Doble, Tango, Samba, Quickstep etc mentioned yet, so perhaps it'll be a combination of Viennese Waltz, Salsa, Foxtrot and Cha-Cha?

I'd be happy if it was a choice of four but the Jive and Tango have been unofficially mentioned for Michael and Johnny respectively I think?

Not sure how many times I need to post this...


Natalie was giving Michael "a course on Waltz & Jive" prior to week 1, so that's a safer bet. According to Twitter, Kimberley has the Foxtrot.

I wonder if the Pros got to choose their second week dance, because they do seem like a random bunch.

Especially when it looks like there'll be a few of one, but only one of others.

A tweet from Michael concerning this week's dance: "Dancing to a classic This week... Proper throw back to the 80s.... The music might distract from my feet movement I am hoping... Lol"

I really hope that no-one has to do a double Latin like last year.

btw The tweet about Kimberley doing the Foxtrot was from Denise.

Denise Van Outen ‏@denise_vanouten

@KimberleyJWalsh add a lift to your Foxtrot. The Judges will love it!

The point made above is one I didn't think about before. If dancers know that their partner might struggle, get that over with as a 'tactical decision'. Easy.

Foxtrot for Jerry and Viennese Waltz for Louis, I'm starting to think Michael's not doing the Jive and it's going to be out of 4 dances (Viennese, Foxtrot, Salsa, Cha Cha Cha)

Confirmed on ITT:
Jerry - Foxtrot
Louis - Viennese Waltz

Perhaps as someone said above that the ballroom will either be Foxtrot or V Waltz and latin is Cha Cha Cha or Salsa.
