Caroline and Pasha had extra dancers at Blackpool and then did the same routine without the dancers in the final. I think it was a Charleston.

Your right, but for me it didn't really fit the smaller dance floor and should have stayed in Blackpool! There was a time when they didn't have extra dancers at Blackpool, certainly not in Matt's year, not sure when it started? Caroline's year may have been the first.
I just hope they don't give Danny & Oti too many extra dancers.

Danny like Jay is talented enough to shine without the backing dancers. Hopefully they will be subtle so that Danny and Oti can shine. 🙏

I know me too. Praying for Oti to be on the tour as well. I booked my tickets yesterday; I thought it was about time I did before all of the tickets sell out. I'm in the heavens though so I need to book earlier next year.

Oh no, sorry to hear that. 😢
I hope you can get tickets to go to a different showing. I wanted matinee tickets too but they had sold out.
I booked tickets for the tour at Birmingham Sunday really happy Danny is doing it and really hopeful that Oti will be dancing with him
Unfortunately, the tour doesn't come to Dublin any more. Would have seen it a few years ago......and the Professionals Tour. Brilliant. Have to rely on the threads and internet for any info. Delighted Danny is doing it............and hopefully with Oti. I agree, it wouldn't seem quite the same and they know each other so well!!!
Looking forward to IT2 tonight. I like Fridays................

If any of you have Instagram and follow the official Strictly page you can see some of their stories. There's one of Giovanni watching Danny and Oti's Charleston and he says it looks amazing.
In other news, just booked the tour. Was waiting on Danny being confirmed before I did but will be gutted if Oti can't make it.

Will be wonderful to see Doti perform together if Oti can make the tour too. 🙏

I didn't realise that they had stopped doing the tour in Ireland.
. That's a real shame. It's such a beautiful country and I bet the SCD tour team would've had a blast. 🍀Looking forward to ITT too.

Ooh thanks, just looked at the Instagram video from Strictly and it's nice to hear Giovanni say it is scintillating.
You can tell from the snippets of training that the Charleston choreographer went to town on this routine. The arm/hand placements and steps are so intricate, not to mention the lifts we're yet to see. Think it could be one of the best SCD Charlestons if D&O execute the dance without flaw and completely in sync.
I expect Danny and Oti to close the show tomorrow evening since it was week 2 since they last had the opportunity. Claudia and AJ to open methinks.

No ... not quite. They did a jive at Blackpool with extra dancers. They did the Charleston on 'Around the World' week (I think it was called) in the usual studio .. and then reprised it for the final without backing dancers.
Looking forward to Danny and Oti's Charleston, I think they're both fab!

I thought that was what he said. He said the backing dancers have 7 or 8 dances to remember which, even with the opening number if they're in that, sounds like almost everyone/everyone is having extra dancers. An hour doesn't seem that long but I think Danny's stage background will mean he'll be able to adjust to others being on the floor and not let himself be outshone by other dancers.
Sending good vibes to Danny and Oti tonight. Looks like the dress rehearsal went well..........
Wont be able to watch until later..........damm.

Oti's twitter!!
Thought they looked brilliant in the opening number. Here's hoping the Charleston is a standout of the night. I have everything crossed!

They both looked great in the opening number and I hope they go last with a knockout performance. Everything is crossed for them
First 40!
So chuffed with that and going to throw all my votes their way as that was fantastic. Great to see him get that (partic after a few odd times they've seemed to nitpick over him).
