Not confirmed yet. More likely that a few pro's will not be partnered up (like Joanne last year, who was announced in the pro line-up; but confirmed on Twitter that she didn't have a partner).

backstageone said there will be a troupe this year, similar to what they have on DWTS. So I'm assuming that AJ and Chloe will be part of that.

Neil and Katya will be great on strictly but i hope they aren't leaving the competitive world altogether.

Who said that? How do you know? If there is a troupe that means they I'll have to get 4/5 more dancers. They've announced all the pros for this year so I don't think it will happen and AJ and Chloe will get celebs

backstageone has been correct with every other snippet of gossip so far, she told us Gleb was leaving, the initials of Katya, Gorka and Oksanna before their announcement, then came back and said that depending on the celebs who sign up then three more pros would be announced in due course, and that all would be British. She also insinuated there would be a troupe, and as she has been right all along ive no reason to doubt her now.

And the pro rehearsals start on Monday so I doubt there will be a troupe if they haven't announced anymore dancers. Just saying. Hope that all the pros will get celebs. Well at least 16 of them. Anton or Brendan are most likely to be sitting out and doing something on ITT. Just my opinion

The search for celebrities begings a year prior but negotiations or the ability to get the ones producers want takes a very long time and sometimes right before the launch of the series, which means the number of pro/pros without a celibrity may right now be in the air. Those pros/pro with no celebrities will be part of the "troupe" and be part of the group numbers together with the regulars, as it was Joanne's case last year. There was talk of maybe doing something different in this regard but is not clear as to what that may be.

The word troupe in this case is used as a means to describe Pros who will not have a celebrity, but in no way it would be anything like they have in the DWTS series.

I hope the end product of this is well worth it. As it sounds like a hot mess. I need a good series of the show to stabalise the awful yet amazing year I have had so far.

It just sounds all confusing, I'm very interested to see how this will pan out.

I don't get this at all... I really hope we don't get 17 couples this year, 15 seemed a bit much in the early weeks and I feel like an even longer series would possibly be milking it a bit too far. But if they are just going to make up the numbers in pro routines, why bother with the big press announcement, as they've had extra dancers before without giving them this level of attention?
Do agree about 17 couples being a bit much. I would prefer to see less couples - perhaps 12 - who could start their training at least a couple of months before the show started, so the early weeks would be a tad more interesting. |

Yes I know they do teach. There doesn't seem to be too much difference between Amateurs and Pro's these days, by that I mean Amateurs can earn money by teaching and shows, dems etc. They just enter different comps. Standard of top Pro;s is much better of course.

True, but officially amateurs are only supposed to teach under the supervision of a professional, which is somewhat different to being able to dream up suitable show routines and teach them to a complete novice.
I also think it is quite different teaching dancers than can dance already rather than complete beginners, with the pressures of completing a routine and different dance each week, with a beginner. Quite a challenge ! A couple of weeks ago, I asked a Pro at Cheam what actually was the difference between Am and Pro. He said very little these days, as all can teach/earn, most Ams train full time anyway so they are almost Pro, in all but name. |

I just don't see why they would be in the pro line up if they weren't getting a celeb, hopefully its a 17 celeb series with 15 weeks, that would be the least confusing thing to do right now

I was really happy when they announced 14 pros as that seemed a good number to me, and I'd rather they had an even number so as not to have a gender bias. |

It was announced at the end of August last year that Joanne wouldn't be partnering a celeb so I wonder if we can expect clarification before the launch show?

I guess having a bigger pro rosta than needed gives a bit of wiggle room when allocating the celebs, and allows for pro injuries that don't mean the entire cast has to be re-jigged. Quote:
I really can't imagine Brendan signing up to a series of Strictly that involves him "sitting out"!

think everyone is taking dance troupe to mean what we have seen on DWTS - last year the show used several extra pro dancers most weeks on the group routines (who never got any credits on show except for Joanne) this time round what is to say they are not going to have 2 or 3 regular 'extra' dancers' on the show who are going to have credits on the show with a view to easing them in to the full show next year ??

I notice from my timeline on fB that Gorka has done his last BTF show and is on his way to London
