Me personally i think they should open it up more and bring in dances such as -
Street irish scotish bhangra scandanavian contempory Etc. this way it will keep it fresh while attracting new viewers |

Finnish Tango should be good. I have just bought a job lot of razor blades via ebay which will come in handy for that ...

The thing is that in theory SCD is based on partner dancing.

If they introduce any of those styles they'd lose me as a viewer.

I wouldn't mind one week of non-standard dancers (like the Rock & Roll/ Lindy Hop/ Charleston week they had in Series 7)

Lindy definitely
. I was just thinking the other week a Swifty/Shake It Off-style contemporary dance could be interesting (or a dis-ah-star). Mind you, the thought of Alison doing one to Wuthering Heights is just... |

I'd welcome some of these, but only in Showdances by celebs in the final. I feel the Showdances have become a bit rote recently (no Louis' Showdance wasn't Contemporary it was gymnastics bugger of). Imagine how much more interesting a Flamenco, or Jitterbug style Showdance would be compared to the usual Disco-Latin/Stage School Quickstep mess we usually get.

Well I won't be content until they start doing the Gay Gordons and the Military Two Step.
It has to happen. |

They could change it so it is based on the 10 Ballroom and Latin dances and hire pros that are experienced at them. That way you have a standard and a way of judging. There actually is a right way to do it and you could have an actual learning to dance competition as the basis for the show. They could let the pros choose the music and choreography, so they can be invested in them and more invested in teaching their celeb properly. It would help the pro and celeb form a stronger alliance and create more emotional involvement. OK those are not new - just a case of doing it better, but that's what I want - the Strictly concept, but done properly. |

How about polka as a group dance?
And never mind Len and his sweaty pampers, let's have a proper dance of pimps and prostitutes La Danse Apache. |

When the show was first thought of the word in the title STRICTLY mean to indicate strict tempo dancing based on the 5 standard and 5 Latin dances. It's already left that behind with AT, salsa and Charleston, which is fair enough, but we don't need any more.
For anyone looking for street, hip hop, Commercial, etc look for Born to Dance somewhere on Sky (think it might be on BET, though not too sure). |

Contemporary is pointless as its just a rumba really.
