Confirmed that the couples will be split 6 / 9 over the two week 1 live shows, as with previous years.

Am I the only one who thinks Daniel was actually quite good
I do too, but I wish he was doing a Latin dance first because his ballroom likely be stronger. Genuinely I hope he turns out to be very good and surprises those expecting him to be awful.

I'll guess that the producers will be not at all predictable in giving Anthony a Jive to Wake Me Up Before You Go Go and Daniel a Waltz to some mangled version of Danny Boy, then.

I was about to ask why would Anthony getting a Jive to Wake Me Up Before You Go Go would be predictable, and then it hit me just as I was typing it out...

I can't believe even Strictly would seriously be that contrived, to be honest.

Jay mentioned hips in his most recent tweet, so I'm guessing he's Cha-Cha-Cha-ing rather than Tango-ing.

Daniel looks good. Kristina is very capable so it depends almost entirely on Daniel. He seems well focused and taking instruction very well - plus his movement is good.
It is a Waltz, which is maybe the ideal dance for him, but I think he will probably score well for it.

Its going to be a very competitive year IMO. Daniel has fans who will definitely make the effort to vote for him. This is a good start from the dancing point of view. Normally he might want the Waltz to be his second dance because he may pick up a few more floating voters, but I expect for the first few weeks at least, he can avoid the dance-off.

We can probably say he'll have a Tango sometime in the first two weeks, so it'll either be week 2, with a Cha-Cha-Cha week 1, or week 1, with a Cha-Cha-Cha/Salsa/maybe Rumba week 2.

I think the Tango thing might only have been related to the joke in that tweet and not indicative of him doing the Tango any time soon.

It doesn't seem to be there now.

He said on the red carpet that he had wooden hips, so they might be a concern for a CCC.

This is them in training.

Hard to tell what the dance is sometimes.
This photo of Ola and Steve turned out to be from a Tango!

Thanks! That's weird - when I go to his Twitter my normal way, it's not there!

He does basically say that everything is wrong, so it may not be a clue to the dance?

It doesn't appear at first because it's under his 'replies' tab.

Well whatever dance Kirsty is doing it looks like its done something to her feet https://twitter.com/TheRealKirstyG/s...58052292370434
Any dancers who can tell if the height of the upper blister means Kirsty is wearing Latin shoes?

If so - maybe a CCC for her first dance?

Looks like our training video for today will also involve a Waltz (Strictly twitter has a teaser up for Kellie, similar to the one for Daniel yesterday).

Should be up within the next two hours, assuming the interval between the tease and the vid is the same (as yesterday).

Hope we will get a latin video in the weekend.

It could be that Aliona is giving him a quick review of everything and won't be focusing on the first week dance until the weekend? Hence we seem to be getting mixed messages.

That is going to scare the other pairings.

Kellie is doing amazingly well for her first day. Her footwork looks very confident for someone who maybe hasn't partnered anyone before. Kevin's best chance yet IMO because Kellie also seems likeable and lively.
