I can't see how they could do it any differently? What's wrong with the pros doing the group dances aa theyve always done?
I think last time the troupe only did a few dances on results shows, but if they do it like DWTS the troupe will be appearing in all the couples' dances as well. So lots more dancing teapots and searching for the couple in amongst a sea of random dancers frantically mugging to camera

I read some where that a professional dancer was dating a footballer cannot remember her name though and who the footballer was, is she one of them.

It'll be like Junior Showtime or Seaside Special
Is Nigel Lithgoe lined up as joint choreographer

I bloody hope not! I don't mind backing dancers in Blackpool, but really they are so distracting otherwise!

Very bad decission if true!

Hope you're okay. There are three new girls, so perhaps the third one (not KJ or OD) is the British one?


If Katya's a probable, it must be likely that Neil is the other male pro?

Nothing is written in stone, go back and read my original post carefully please

As it stands now, there will be 3 new female pros ( + Joanne) and 2 new male pros, but Strictly is not a stable proposition, human beings are involved, and you have to deal with celebrities and in some cases their huge egos (which includes one or two pros by the way) changes are made at the last minute on a regular basis, celebrities are even changed to a particular pro an hour before the first show starts.

For those who always need proof, all I say is "Patience is a Virtue"
Joanne is the 3rd female pro
Allegedly not.

Would a dance troupe mean no group dances by the main professionals? I can't remember how it worked a few years ago

I hope not. I enjoy the pro dances as they are.

Nice to see you posting wicksy .

I think it started off with the troupe doing the pro numbers, but I vaguely remember thinking the troupe was pointless because the regular pros were involved too/instead.

If there's to be a troupe, wouldn't we need more than 5 newbies?

Assuming (!) the number of competing couples remains the same, with Jo's status being a little vague , we're currently 5 pros down on last year, including the unexpected departure.

well my fellow dance peeps can't come up with any British dancer with initials KJ or OD other than Katya Jones - am reliably informed she is now a British passport holder so presuming it is her - if that is the case would be surprised if Neil was not part of show - no one I know have heard any whispers to confirm it

Katya and Neil are already part of the Strictly 'family' anyway, having appeared in and choreographed pro dances last year. So they would be obvious choices for newbies I'd say. I'm still not entirely sure that I believe bakctsageone though, has he/she ever been correct?

I wonder which one of the pro's has leaked the contract details to the press? Someone must have

Doesn't have to be a pro - it could be someone working at Strictly - or industrial espionage.

not sure if any thing been correct not seen many posts from them.

There is surprisingly very little gossip around the dance peeps I know got more info on DWTS than SCD - though was told of a programme for next year that sounds interesting (drama series involving dance) but for now it is top secret - have heard that former pupil now on BTF is heading to London for the new West End production but that coincides with the time SCD launches so no gossip will be relevant from him

Do you know why the pro line up is taking so long to announce? I'm sure we normally know who's coming back/joining the show by now?
