If this week were to leave everyone having done three ballrooms and three latins, then it should be:

Alison & Aljaz - Ballroom (AS, AT, QS, VW, Waltz)
Caroline & Pasha - Ballroom (AS, AT, Foxtrot, VW, Waltz)
Frankie & Kevin - Ballroom (AS, AT, QS, Tango, VW)
Jake & Janette - Latin (CCC, Charleston, Paso, Rumba, Samba)
Judy & Anton - Latin (Jive, Paso, Rumba, Salsa, Samba)
Mark & Karen - Ballroom (AT, Foxtrot, Tango, VW, Waltz)
Pixie & Trent - Ballroom (AS, AT, Foxtrot, Tango, VW)
Scott & Joanne - Ballroom (AT, Foxtrot, QS, VW, Waltz)
Simon & Kristina - Ballroom (AS, AT, Foxtrot, QS, Waltz)
Steve & Ola - Latin (Charleston, Jive, Paso, Rumba, Samba)
Sunetra & Brendan - Latin (Charleston, Jive, Paso, Rumba, Samba)
Thom & Iveta - Ballroom (AS, AT, QS, Tango, VW)

For contrast - by week 6 last year seven of eleven couples were balanced 3/3, whereas four others had done more of one discipline than the other, and eight of ten were balanced in 2012. So most of those should be reasonably safe bets.

I wonder if we will see a Halloween Rumba? I really liked Abbey's as an alternative style - was theatrical although the judges not pulling her up on the lift is still annoying! :P

Song-wise: it's probably been long enough to have Phantom of the Opera, Wild Thing or Bat Out of Hell again for a Paso.

For the curious, the only dances never to have been done on a Halloween night are the Foxtrot and Waltz. The most common is the Paso, which has been done eleven times, followed by the Tango with seven and the Jive with six.

Interesting! I was going to query if the Samba had been done because I couldn't recall any but just checked and it has - only once by Russell!

Just brainstorming some ideas for songs we haven't seen before:
Danse Macabre (aka the Jonathan Creek theme) - Waltz
Werewolves of London - Samba
Wild Woman (by Imelda May) - Quickstep possibly?
Magic by Coldplay, although for what dance I can't imagine

Hey Lucy is close enough to Susie for them to change the name, no?
Or should we not give the producers ideas just in case?

Alison said earlier in the week that she'll be flying if she gets through - I know the producers have made the celebs do some odd things these past few years, but having Alison thunder onto the stage in the middle of a Waltz... probably best not. I think we'll see another party Latin (what's left? Salsa?) or a Paso for her.

I thought that was a pretty inspiring song choice, actually!

Maybe an American Smooth and the flying will be the lifts.

Here seems as good a place as any to put some of my many, many, many Hallowe'en music ideas.

CCC - Abracadabra, Steve Miller Band
Argentine Tango - Human, Goldfrapp
Waltz - Dark Waltz, Hayley Westenra
Jive - Spooky, The Puppini Sisters
American Smooth - All Mine, Portishead
Samba - Deeper Underground, Jamiroqui
Charleston - House of Fun, Madness (see here for inspiration/Lovecraftian insanity)
Tango - Somebody's Watching Me, Rockwell
Quickstep - Ramalama Bang Bang, Roisin Murphy (again, inspiration for costume/styling here)
Foxtrot - Witchcraft, Frank Sinatra (well, why hasn't it been used already?!)
Salsa - Cosmic Girl, Jamiroqui
Rumba - The Music of the Night, from The Phantom of the Opera
Viennese Waltz - Illabye, Tipper (would die of happiness if it were used).

I'll jump on the bandwagon. The Strictly producers need to employ us lot, we'd be so much better than the Spice Girls Tangoes and I'm Still Standing on a loop. Possibly.

Foxtrot: Li'l Red Riding Hood (Sam the Sham & The Pharaohs)
Cha-Cha-Cha: Walking With a Ghost (Teagan & Sara)/Scary Movies (Gary Paxton)
Jive: Zombie (Jamie T)/Violent Stars Happy Hunting (Janelle Monae)
American Smooth: I Want to Be Evil (Eartha Kitt)
Viennese Waltz: House of Mirrors (David McCallum)
Charleston: Ding Dong! The Witch is Dead (Glenn Miller)
Paso Doble: Ghost Riders in the Sky (Johnny Cash)
Tango: The Witch Queen of New Orleans (Redbone)

I'm amazed that Ghost Town by The Specials doesn't appear to have been used.
