It looks like a Latino dance to me - top right is a matador leap

That's what I thought- lots of Latin hands etc. perhaps flamenco? Dan whist on has said that everyone has been given a dance style this week like Scottish(!), jazz, ballet, flamenco...

Oh I really like that idea. Maybe a better week.

Scottish

We've had Sam doing Irish dancing - are we going to see him in a kilt

I guess the ballet routine will be Hayley or Susanne - can't see it being Beth, as she had a similar routine last week

Just had a thought - imagine if Todd was still here and he had a ballet routine

Think there was mention last week I think of Hayley working on a Black Swan routine so she could have the ballet one? I am quite looking forward to this week and also next week when the couples are apparently choreographing their own routines!

Looking forward to Ray and Maria!

Just saw a clip online of Bonnie saying she is doing the Waltz...

Would be lovely if they all had traditional dance music...

Yes I saw something with Hayley mentioning that too. From Kyran's twitter he & Nina appear to have a Rock n Roll routine.

I like the idea of the couples choreographing a routine themselves but wonder why it's next week. I would have thought that the show on 16th Feb may make more sense as Jayne & Chris are performing Bolero in Sarajevo earlier that week so will have limited time available that week.

I read that Chris and Jane are performing Bolero in Sarajevo on 13th February (Thursday) so I guess as they give the choreography on Monday and Tuesday that will be ok as the couples and trainers can be left to work on the routine without Jane and Chris. I think they largely do that for the remainder of the week anyway as some are based in the North?

So it should be ok but I do agree with you that would have been a better week to leave the couples to do their own routines!

Paso on ice is Ray's style all over. Hope they incorporate glides and lots of use of edges alongside any staccato moves.

Beth and Luke are doing the Scottish dancing. Just saw it over on the DOI facebook

Dan and Hayley have got the Charleston

Lot's of exaggerated facial expressions no doubt

I wonder if Susanne has the ballet routine then

Being a Scot myself I'm half expecting the Scottish routine to be cringeworthy. Saying that, the Irish routine was pretty good...
I wonder if it's random selection as Ray obviously has Latin training so some may say seems unfair.(not complaining- I love watching Ray on ice!)

Ray was UK disco champion as a child and also did jazz and ballet as well as being UK ballroom and Latin champion so I would guess it would be near impossible to find a dance style he hasn't done! Probably only Scottish tbh but pleased he hasn't got that - although some may like the idea of Ray in a kilt of course!

That's true Amytigger! (A kilt improves most men...) 😉

I hope Luke wears a kilt.

I know people often criticise Beth for her performance but I actually think her more understated style may prevent it from being too OTT & cringey. Much better choice than someone like Hayley who would probably ham it up ridiculously. (though the judges would probably end up showering her with praise & overmarking her as they did last week)

Hayley is such a ham. I could never take to her during her series and she really needs a show stopper soon or she'll be out of contention. At least, I hope so!
