You can always use his dances to nip to the loo ! They'll both be terrible. I think Jake and Ainsley will be the bottom of the leaderboard on every date. The others will be the ones to watch. Jay will win Nottingham, and Georgia will win Manchester, the rest will be anyone's guess.
Comment made me laugh..

Gleb dropped Natalie in rehearsals, she may have to take two weeks off. Hoping it is not too serious.
Oh no! Get well soon Natalie

I'm guessing Ainsley will dance with Karen until Natalie's fit to return?

Did anyone see Georgia May Foote on Saturday Kitchen this morning, promoting the tour? I didn't recognise her at first.

She even did some charleston moves to "Hot Mama Rag" from "Chicago" teasing James Martin because he never got to do the charleston when he was a contestant on the show because it hadn't been introduced yet.

She's still tweeting about the tour, so I presume she's fine.

Personally I'm really looking forward to watching Jake's dances - the party vibe and the fact that he seems to really love dancing will be a pleasure to see and he will bring a great atmosphere to the arenas. I'm sure he won't dance both dances back to back, so although they are samey, they will be a good contrast to some of the ballroom choices.
These are two of the dances that I am the most excited about
And me! Jake was one of the main reasons I bought a ticket for this tour!! Really looking forward to seeing him along with Jay, Helen and Georgia.

For me, I was really impressed with the standard they set last year and there was a wide selection of contestants like Jay, Helen, Georgia, Kellie, Anita who were all capable of doing great dances. Hats off to Kellie for pushing herself beyond her limits; her energy and enthusiasm every single week and also Jeremy who was never going to be the best dancer, but put in the long hours; had great respect for all the professional dancers; particularly his own partner, Karen Clifton; had the time to do a weekly blog on his website and also do filming for Eggheads and host his Radio 2 show every weekday. No wonder the judges and the audience gave him a standing ovation

So that is why I am going to go and see the tour next month.

Thanks for the info! Keep us updated on this situation please.

I think it's the fault of Jason Gilkisonthe, the main choreographer. Why is he always making Gleb to dance with her?
Natalie is too big for him. He looked so good with Alena in group dances.

I presume you mean too tall, not too big.

Anyway, Natalie hasn't got much choice - all the other male pros on tour are shorter than Gleb aside from Aljaz (who I think is about the same height?), and obviously as Aljaz and Janette are actually a couple the tour directors want them to dance together, even though he's really too tall for her (and they acknowledge that themselves!).

Agreed. And Gleb is stockier than Aljaz. Lord knows I've seen enough of his body, often enough, to be aware of that.

It's the fault of the choreography if the lift was too difficult for that pair to do safely - or simply a mishap that could happen to any of the couples.

Sorry, Alyona not Alena ))
Yes, too tall and heavy.
I think that if they have no choice, Aljaz and Gleb should change pro partners from time to time. Otherwise it is not fair. One picks up a fluff every day (sometimes 2 times a day) and the other one raises a bar.

Aliona I think you mean she creates chemistry dancing with anyone so her dancing with gleb And suiting him doesn't surprise me.. Natalie is too heavy in a way I think they really need some new tall pros

This is precisely why they should never have got rid of Ian Waite! If a new male pro joins they need to find someone of Ian or Matthew Cutlers height for the tall women to dance with safely. I presume Gleb would dance with his wife anyway if she were to join the show.

Just bring back Ian full time to the show.

First of all they I meant they look together very harmoniously due to similar physical characteristics and similarities in appearance. Gleb and Aliona both have long limbs, elegance, grace and aristocracy in appearance. But I agree about the chemistry too /

Gleb dropped Kristina too during a dance they did. It was pretty horrible according to Bryan Adams who was performing (and mentioned it on Radio 2.)
Seems Gleb has butter fingers.

When Bryan Adams was performing Pasha and Ola were dancing to his song.

I think it was James Morrison who said it, but the point still stands.

I'm not a great fan of Gleb, and hearing stuff like this doesn't exactly make me like him more!

He could take what was part of the dance for the fall (1.14)
*** Now Gleb-haters rejoiced and flocked to feed. This was to be expected. LOL

Did he drop her while she was pregnant? That's quite risky!

It's not been that long since he dropped Kristina.

Well Natalie is happily tweeting about "5 days to go until the tour", and no mention of being unfit. I'm thinking this was a false alarm.

Natalie's made no mention of this on social media so I'm treating the claim with a pinch of salt. It's true he dropped Kristina as James Morrison confirmed it.
