Oh - great find! This is fun Wish they'd tell more - about what dance they're doing etc.

But look at Janette's outfit here (from today I'm pretty sure, based on the others' clothes) - it doesn't match that pig-tail girl's - still not sure who that is! Joanne?)

I think pig-tail girl being lifted by Giovanni is a "stand in" (unless it's Joanne), because Janette is beside her in this photo, being lifted by Anton (I think). And Brendan's lifting Karen.

yes, Janette is opposite Karen

pig-tailed girl could be Joanne but I think Joanne still has really red hair...........

EDIT Janette could be being lifted by Aljaz based on what Aljaz is wearing in this photo

Yes of course you're right! That's Aljaz. Does that mean Anton is lifting Natalie ???

Natalie would tower over Pasha so I assume Ola, who posted the photo, is paired with Pasha. But maybe only those 6 couples are doing that particular part of the dance because it's hard for me to imagine Anton/Natalie doing that move (not that I think Natalie is overweight - she's just so tall at 5ft10 - you'd think they'd have the biggest guy lifting her and I'm pretty sure that's Gleb (with Aljaz 2nd)

ETA I love Brendan's rolled up trousers. Is that some new fashion?

maybe there are extra dancers.......... last year we had Gordana and Jasmine so maybe this year there are ?? and ??

EDIT: no idea on the trouser front!

Maybe pig-tail girl is Jasmine - I think she had black hair. And they had a water bottle out yesterday for someone named Patrick - though I suppose it could have said "Patrice". Somebody needs to post a water/snack table photo again to help us out

I believe Jasmine is abroad somewhere.......... or she was - she could be back now!

the Patrick is Patrick Helm, he did some of the choreography last year and is part of Brendans tour as well

Pig tail girl with Giovanni WAS Joanne! She said so on twitter, talking about the picture where all the lifting was going on:

Aljaz and Aliona??

My dream!!! If for no other reason I can mash their names together and call them Alionjaz

This is the best individual dance I have seen Aliona dancing with one of the current pros.
I have the dance recorded at the time in HD and the original is fantastic, but this is low resolution and had to be set to a different version of the song.
Aliona invited her fiancé Vincent to the show, so I expect she danced it for him.

There won't be any fixed pairings, but Aljaz and Aliona would be excellent.
