It's that time of year again to predict which dance our celebrities will tackle the best. I realise we have very little to go on at this stage but one can imagine and its always fun finding out how right/wrong we are.

So, with that, here's mine

Ed - Waltz
Danny - American Smooth
Greg - Waltz
Melvin - Charleston
Ore - Jive
Rinder - Tango
Will - Charleston

Anastacia - Samba
Claudia - Foxtrot
Daisy - Cha Cha Cha
Laura - Paso
Lesley - Foxtrot
Louise - Viennese Waltz
Naga - Charleston
Tameka - Salsa (she's had enough practice in EE after all!!!)

It depends on who they are partnered with.

Samba was going to be Katie Derham's dance.

She mustn't have watched the show much. Sad video in that respect, but it shows how a couple can make a success of Strictly even if they have a lot of differences.

also depends who their pro partner is

Don’t know enough about all the celebs to be able to comment, but my thoughts on those I have heard of:

Ed Balls – traditional ballroom – Waltz or Foxtrot
Will Young – Charleston
Ore Oduba – don’t know
Melvin Odoom – don’t know
Danny Mac – actors sometimes struggle with Latin Hips, but performance is good, so American Smooth or Quickstep
Judge Robert Rinder – Tango – the histrionics will be right up his street
Greg Rutherford – fun party dances – Salsa perhaps

Laura Whitmore – don’t know
Louise Redknapp – elegant Foxtrot/Waltz
Daisy Lowe – floaty Viennese Waltz (both Abby and Jodie as ex-models were good in the floaty dances)
Naga Munchetty – fit and frantic - Jive
Anastacia – Latin girl I think
Claudia Fragapane – Charleston/Jive – high fitness levels and small girl
Tameka Empson – Cha-Cha/Salsa
Lesley Joseph – Waltz/Viennese
