Nothing confirmed as of yet, but it's nice to keep track and nobody had started a topic yet.

Ainsley & Natalie
Anita & Gleb
Anthony & Oti
Carol & Pasha
Daniel & Kristina
Georgia & Giovanni
Helen & Aljaž
Iwan & Ola
Jamelia & Tristan
Jay & Aliona
Jeremy & Karen
Katie & Anton
Kellie & Kevin
Kirsty & Brendan
Peter & Janette

Presumably Cha-Cha, Waltz, Tango and possibly Salsa in the first week?

Not to sound petty/funny but I thought Cwickham normally starts these threads each week?

Anyway we have also had the Jive in recent years as a Week 1 dance.

The previous two years have had Cha-Cha, Jive, Tango and Waltz as the week 1 dances, in the following split:

2013 - 6 Cha-Chas, 2 Jives, 3 Tangos, 4 Waltzes
2014 - 6 Cha-Chas, 3 Jives, 3 Tangos, 3 Waltzes

I'm expecting things to be pretty much the same this year.

I don't mind who starts the threads - I just usually start them if by a certain point in time nobody else has!

What follows is my completely unfounded guesswork as to the week 1 dances:

Ainsley & Natalie - Cha-Cha-Cha
Anita & Gleb - Jive
Anthony & Oti - Tango
Carol & Pasha - Tango
Daniel & Kristina - Waltz
Georgia & Giovanni - Jive
Helen & Aljaz - Waltz
Iwan & Ola - Cha-Cha-Cha
Jamelia & Tristan - Cha-Cha-Cha
Jay & Aliona - Cha-Cha-Cha
Jeremy & Karen - Cha-Cha-Cha
Katie & Anton - Waltz
Kellie & Kevin - Waltz
Kirsty & Brendan - Tango
Peter & Janette - Cha-Cha-Cha

I wondered if the costumes the celebs wore tonight were a clue to what their first dance will be.

Kellie & Kevin - Waltz
Kirsty & Brendan - Tango
Peter & Janette - Cha-Cha-Cha
I think this is good, except that you've put 5/6 Cha-cha-cha's for men, which means 5 of 7 men are doing that dance...

Mine is -
Ainsley & Natalie - Cha-cha-cha
Anita & Gleb - Tango
Anthony & Oti - Cha-cha-cha
Carol & Pasha - Tango
Daniel & Kristina - Waltz
Georgia & Giovanni - Jive
Helen & Aljaz - Waltz
Iwan & Ola - Cha-cha-cha
Jamelia & Tristan - Cha-cha-cha
Jay & Aliona - Jive
Jeremy & Karen - Tango
Katie & Anton - Waltz
Kellie & Kevin - Jive
Kirsty & Brendan - Cha-cha-cha
Peter & Janette - Cha-cha-cha

Just bumping this up as training will start tomorrow morning, so hopefully we'll at least get some hints on Twitter.

Speaking of which, a list of celebs and pros on Twitter might be useful:
Ainsley [no personal Twitter] & Natalie
Anita & Gleb
Anthony & Oti
Carol & Pasha
Daniel [no personal Twitter] & Kristina
Georgia & Giovanni
Helen & Aljaz
Iwan & Ola
Jamelia & Tristan
Jay & Aliona
Jeremy & Karen
Katie & Anton
Kellie & Kevin
Kirsty & Brendan
Peter & Janette

Anthony retweeted a tweet about dancing to Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, which could mean he's dancing the Jive. Although, if they haven't started training yet maybe he's just hoping for it!

Daniel and Jeremy's dances are going to be crucial for first out.
Duffers can usually get away with a waltz and manage elegance to some degree in their black tie and tails. A Latin could see either off, unless they do a "Jake Wood".
Carol could be in trouble with a Latin too.

The week 2 dances are important as they're the ones the public will be voting on and the ones they're doing in the dance-off - any of the above could be better off doing latin week 1 and ballroom week 2, as they could also get a few places up the table on the combined leaderboard.

Or it could mean a complete mangling of the music and they're dancing a slow waltz

I suggested that Anthony could dance to either of the following on the songs thread: Fighter by Christina Aguliera, Can't Fight The Moonlight by Leanne Rimes and U + Ur Hand by Pink. Lewis also reminded me that I forgot about Fight for This Love by Cheryl Cole, just relaised I forgot about Can't Fight This Fealing anymore as well by REO Speedwagon due to being a Boxer.

I would guess that the producers will just give him either Eye Of The Tiger or the main Rocky theme for Movie Week, given their apparent lack of imagination.

Judging by his latest tweet, Jay might have the Tango.

Looks like training might not begin until tomorrow, as looking at Twitter Katie, Carol and Kirsty definitely don't start until then.

Janette said of periscope that she starts rehearsals with Peter on Tuesday and Aljaz starts training with Helen on Wednesday. Georgia tweeted a picture of her and Giovanni saying they start training tomorrow and that she doesn't even though what dance they have yet

Day 1 of training: only thing gleaned so far is that Georgia is "shattered already".

it was Neale Pirie's funeral on monday so I am guessing many of the pros went to that, had it not been his funeral then I think training would probably have started on monday
