Should clapping on the live show be stopped?
When it comes down to live show opening credits I notice the floor management get the audience to clap. I personally find it annoying to the core, wonder if anyone else is irritated by it just as much as me? And the repetitive panto treatment of Craig annoys me as well.

I know what you mean Paul. I understand they want people to clap but why don't they get them to clap on the "off beat"? This is much more appealing and less painful on your hands!

Clapping - doesn't bother me at all.
Panto treatment of Craig - yes, not necessary |

Problem is if they focused on Craig's ballroom Latin knowledge the cupboard is bare

I rather like the clapping during the opening credits, I clap along at home
![]() The overuse of standing ovations annoys me, they're not special moments anymore. Craig's spins also annoy me, I don't know why

Panto treatment of Craig is an inevitable consequence of him behaving like a panto villain.

![]() ![]() ![]() After all, Craig does get involved with Panto every year; was it not back in the 2014 series, when he came dressed as Captain Hook on one live show?

what?
completely? no! or do you just mean during certain points in the show ![]() your thread title and subsequent opening post are somewhat confusing do you want the clapping stopped just over the opening titles or completely throughout the entire show as per thread title would suggest............ in answer to both - no - I like the clapping |

No.
But the sound engineers should make sure that it never ever drowns the music. |

It has been posted by more knowledgeable dance forumites that the clapping could put off the dancers - celebs not Pro's.
I am all in favour of deploying cattle prods to stop the mindless clapping while a celeb is dancing a competitive dance |

At a "proper" dance competition clapping, cheering and calling out couples numbers is all part of the atmosphere. Little is worse than competing in a silent (apart from the music) competition. usually re-act positively to know they are being supported in the same way as athletes, football teams, etc love to hear vocal support.
As for Strictly, maybe it would be nice if the audience could be allowed to clap or cheer spontaneously instead of being told to. What I do find irritating is the seeming never-ending standing ovations and Tess saying "Oh look they're standing up all round the studio...................." |

Standing ovations should be spontaneous and reserved for those really special Strictly moments. |

They should wire the audience up so they clap in time to the music.
![]() I don't like clapping out of time. Most computer sound systems aren't good enough to play this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdvFZMhybHg |

It is worth remembering, though, that Strictly was conceived first and foremost as an entertainment show that happened to involve dancing rather than vice versa http://www.express.co.uk/dayandnight...-I-got-nothing Quote:
“We needed to come up with a big Saturday night show and at a meeting we were discussing what hadn’t been tried,” Fenia, who then worked as the BBC’s Entertainment Commissioner, remembers.
“Out of the blue, I said ‘ballroom dan*cing’. “My vision was for an entertainment show first and foremost, with celebrities out of their comfort zone.” |

Certainly they have no dance qualifications! They're only interested in what they see as the entertainment side of the show. Don't forget it's the beeb - they never have had any respect for dancing. The idea that it can actually be a sport is quite alien to them.

What I do find irritating is the seeming never-ending standing ovations and Tess saying "Oh look they're standing up all round the studio...................." That said, I hate some of the noise as dance competitions. It isn't so bad when the person shouting is supporting the same person as you but sitting in front of someone who is trying to break some decibel record and is supporting someone you don't know is painful. Also, I do find it offputting dancing when there is a really loud crowd. Extreme noise just overwhelms me. There is something a bit incongruous too about people shouting along to a romantic waltz or rumba. I really wouldn't mind dancing to a silent crowd and just hearing the music. I guess I'm just not a born competitor. Or I'm just a miserable so and so. ![]() (Whilst I'm on the subject, I hate people who eat smelly, messy food or balance coffee cups in the vicinity of my not inexpensive dress. I guess I must be the personification of misery at these events!) Some applause and crowd reaction is needed in Strictly though as we expect it in a television show. It would seem flat without it. |

Feel like emailing the executive producer and bbc one controller saying I'm unhappy with it and that it's disrespectful as well. They must have a warm up guy too that influences it.
