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 ??
This makes sense. I doubt they expected 5 dancers to leave last year. We already know Len will not be judging next year. I think they like an element of continuity. So by bringing backing dancers more into the program it will be an easier transgression when dancers leave or need to replace injured dancers

Why not? It's what he's done for the last couple of years ... <wanders off whistling ...>
Because he is grumpy enough if he doesn't get a celebrity he wants, so I don't think he would take too kindly to no celebrity at all.

I recognise Neil, but not the other two. The other two look young don't they.
Looking forward to seeing them dance in the Pro numbers.

They are 22 and 21 and are lovely people on and off the floor. Will be interesting to see if they are paired with celebs or not.

wow so their around my age, that's gonna be weird seeing someone my age and someone possibly younger than me dancing on the show, but I think to bring them in so young they must have some young contestants, are we maybe going to see the youngest competitor they've had?

I hope that AJ and Chloe get celebs. It would show people that they can teach even though they are young. I think that Anton or Brendan will sit out leaving 16 couples so it's equally. I want AJ and Chloe to get celebs. I think they will get some young celebs
Actually the issue is not age per se. I don't see why that should stop them from being able to teach. It is whether they have had time in a young competitive career to learn both the lead and follower steps. If they come from dance families its more likely that that they have.

(I did hear that Neil was studying the technique books with a view to taking teaching exams. May even thave taken them )

I'm surprised Neil Jones has time to rehearse he does so much tweeting.

Neil and Katya Jones have been criticised for dancing in fat suits during their routine at the Professional Latin World Showdance Championships. Some viewers of the video called their performance “insensitive”, “offensive” and “not entertaining or funny” :

Thank goodness for It Takes Two.

It helps me really get to know the celebs and especially if there are any new pros - you get to see a whole different side on that programme

For example, Tristan. He was such a rebel, him and Jamelia were out of control on that programme
