No.
I pretty much gave up on Dancing a with The Stars because of this. That, combined with ridiculous costumes, themeing, background dancers etc |

It wouldn't be dumbed down if you watched ITT this week the French version of SCD did this and it looked interesting.
The current pros have had to learn new dances, some confirmed in the past that a set dance was new to them. It's a new challenge and the pro and celebrity would learn new routines. Please NO bad idea !!! Back to the original format for me |

I wish strictly would go back to its roots to be honest less faffing, less props, appropriate music and sticking to the 5 main ballroom and latin dances |

Agree with this but do think instead of multiple theme weeks maybe there could be a specialist week? It could replace any of the non 10 dances too for me.

I think that's the fun, TBH. The professionals are all good dancers, we have seen a few on ITT learn specialist dances recently, so it's slightly outside their comfort zone, but for all with base dancing experience they should be good. We have seen Chloe and Janette learn recently. Both did well.
It would be nice to see some extra new dances and increase the journey. I assume most of the professionals would be up for it. |

I'm losing interest in Strictly because it has moved away from what made it so good. What I liked about Strictly was that it was a reality show, where people (happened to be celebrities) were taken out of their comfort zone to learn something new. They used to have pros who could teach the 10 dances and there was a standard for each dance, so there was something specific to achieve, and it mattered if you did the dance you were asked to learn and you got better scores if you danced it better. There always was the marks for entertainment side. I think that was a useful safety net for the Show, and it allowed those who were not good at learning to dance, to contribute and hopefully get respect for trying, and feel that they fitted in too. A big part for me is the pro dancers. Part of what made the show better is the partnership between the pro and the celeb. They should form a team. The pro should be capable of teaching all the dances, and the pairing should have a large amount of control over their performance. Now, the producers have taken too much control, devalued the position of the pro and the Show feels much more stage-managed. I would prefer the show to have more of a let-it-happen type of management, where the producer creates the conditions to have a learning-to-dance competition and there is more of a feeling that it matters what they actually perform and how they perform it. If there is something specific to achieve, and the pro has the capability to do their job, then there can be more emotion generated and it becomes more interesting and a REAL Reality Show. What we have now is an imitation reality show. Quote:

Nope it was good as it was in the early days don't ruin it with all the changes. the show needs to go back to its basic roots

Back to the original format for me The show can never go back to what it was - more's the pity - but it needs a selective, carefully considered refurb to restore at least some of its original features and get rid of some of the tat foisted on it in the last decade. |

I'd much rather have that than gimmicky crap like Movie Week, Musicals Week & Around The World Week. |

So, if say there was a SCD running say January to March, similar format but extended dances would you watch?
I am thinking. Bollywood. Disco. Rock and Roll. Lindy Hop. Country Western. Jazz Flamenco Bachata Zouk Maybe previous celebrities from SCD come back to extend their dance expierances, with newer more varied dances. What dance would you like to see? |

Yes! I'd love a wide range of dances! I wouldn't necessarily want the show extended, though. I'd like some of the filler removed, the tedious vts for a start, and the pointless novelty acts up in the auditorium.

I would like to see them introduce more styles like rock n roll, contemporary and hip hop. Those all would be good

Possibly, but I would rather see an extended SCD with more celebs at the start and more dances. However, I know this is a format that wouldn't work as to SCD needs to begin in September, when everyone is settling down after the summer, the finale needs to be around Christmas and the celebs need to scoop up the offers of work that they hope will stem from taking part in the series. We'd probably get fed up with it too. I think it's just right as it is but I would like to lose the gimmicky VTs.

maybe. although i'd rather one or two of those suggestions were incorporated into the existing show and drawn as 'wild cards' at various points in the show, either so people could dodge something they really weren't going to be any good at, or at random.

It looked very good to me.
There's nothing to stop the finalists incorporating any of those dances in their Showdance of course. |
