backstageone (who has been right so far) has said another male and another female pro are still to be announced. They also suggested there'd be a troupe in some form, so I can't think how the numbers stack up.
Last year we had 15 pros with partners, plus Jo. The speculation was that her celeb dropped out, though that hasn't been confirmed that I know about, but it's possible that we were supposed to have 16 couples?? Jo has said she'll have a partner this time. Currently we're on 15 pros including Jo. Two more and we'd be on 17 which is too many for them all tohave celebs, surely . Perhaps they're trying to build in some flexibility so they can run with 14 - 15 couples plus a couple of spares to use as a troupe and the final number of couples will be depend on who they can secure for the celeb cast. |

Dancey people, does this mean Neil and Katya jones will not be competing together at least for the duration of strictly (eg at the internationals at the RAH in october?) Is there any precedent for strictly pros competing while appearing on the show?
I wouldn't be surprised if Neil was announced as well. I think they would (and will) be fantastic for strictly as they have such a sense of fun with their dancing. If anyone can pull off creative themes without sacrificing dance content it's them! I just so wanted to see them dance with each other at some point and would be gutted if I'd missed my chance! Surely they will not stop competing now? |

The only thing she said is true is that she and Jay will be dancing their Pulp Fiction jive on the launch show. |

/QUOTE] May be a case of watch this space, but my personal opinion is that they won't, based on the assumption that Katya is in the comp for a while. I don't know of course, just my thoughts. Putting myself in their situation, with all the hours they put in every day, most days of the week, with the celeb, there would be little or no time for their own training and lessons. Bearing in mind where they are ranked in the World, I would be extremely surprised if they competed if they felt they were less than their best due to heavy work schedule of Strictly. Even when they are not working with their celeb, they would be working on and rehearsing Pro numbers. Yes, they could take part in the competitions of course, but I am aware of the incredible of amount of work that couples put in, if only to keep their place in the pecking order, never mind improve your ranking. The British Nationals is in November too. Will be interesting to see.What I wouldn't want to see, if them competing, and not putting in the time and getting results on reputation alone, (has been known before, not necessarily the Jones's). |

BIB Cringe ....I hope not. I hate the idea of the Troupe on dancing with the stars and I hope they dont introduce it here. All they do is do dodgy bumpers, campaign desperately and aggressively to be promoted pros, spoil a lot of routines IMO...dont get me wrong , some of the pros in the troupe are talented but I just dont think they are necessary on the show. I guess we'll see.

That's what I like about Aliona - no bull$hit, slaps down any rumours and won't allow anyone to use her name for publicity unless she is actually involved. Girl Power!

Really don't like the idea of a troupe. Hope that doesn't come to fruition.

I thought for sure I remembered Aliona tweeting that she would remain part of Strictly - either I'm misremembering or they told her no.

In fact she wanted to be back as a choreographer but she was not asked back.

'nuff said ![]() Thanks also, GoinGage and dizzie - I was positive I remembered her saying something like that - and you never really know what they'll do down the road - they probably don't know what they'll do, necessarily. |

since Craig said via interview the celebs are chosen before the pros like I said I knew anyway I wonder if there were any celebs that the producers had ready for the departing pros since they match them up choosing the celebs then choosing the pros like Craig said yesterday and I said a couple of weeks ago?

It's a shame. I would have really liked to have seen them dancing. Obviously we will see them dance on strictly (I'm completely assuming Neil is going to be announced too,) but it's just not the same as competitive dancing at all. I don't think the GBP will have much awareness of the level of their dancing. It was sad to see some negative reaction to Jo in her first series considering the competitive career she's had. |

Yeah I'd be inclined to agree. I chatted about it with my dance teacher recently and she was of a similar opinion to you that they most likely just wouldn't have the time.

I have no idea as to whether Neil has been asked or not to dance, he of course may just be asked to help choreograph as he has done many times. Do we know whether the remaining Pro's to be asked are male or female ? |
