Brown eyed girl seems very slow and ploddy for a jive unless it’s different version to the van Morrison song (there’s a real big fish cover but that doesn’t scream jive either). But I’m guessing she’s fulfilled her narrative and will end up in the DO because of poor music choices.

It's a bit faster than Hit The Road Jack which Strictly often uses for a jive (think they did this series?) It is a bit dull and twee though, and I think Ellie will struggle.

And then they don't get a break from rehearsing and dancing as the show after this Saturday is on a Friday!

The last two Sundays before Blackpool they didn't even have off because they had pro rehearsals. One good thing that came out of the changes to the show because of Covid is that they now record a good chunk of the pro dances before the show starts, at least then the pros have a couple of Sundays to themselves.

No way, it's horrible.

People who play pranks are always the worst - no regard for boundaries and consent.

Neil was starting to lull some of us on here into a false sense of security these past couple of weeks.

I’m quite transfixed by this, even though pre-Strictly Vito needed to be told to put down the clippers and step away from the baby oil! :oops:

Ooh I’m worried for Ellie. I know she has a lot of public support but I just don’t see the jive (especially to brown eyed girl?) being her dance.

Oh dear, that’s a rather slow song for a jive 🫤

So basically the pros get home Sunday afternoon after partying in Blackpool late, then have to design a routine to start teaching it Monday! Madness.

I think by this stage they’ll have a pretty good idea what their partner can/can’t do, what to disguise/what to emphasise, etc., plus they’re probably thinking a few weeks ahead anyway and will have loads of ‘set pieces’ in their repertoire that they can slot together, so they’ve probably got a lot of the routine in their head already by the time each dance rolls around.

It’s probably why the routines often seem quite ‘samey’. I swear I’ve seen every routine Amy has ever done at least 60 times!

On the Keep Dancing podcast they had a good discussion about this re Amy a few weeks ago - one of them is a competitive dancer and he talked about how one of Amy's ballrooms with James was basically a few pieces repeated several times and joined together with other moves. An efficient, if unimaginative, way to choreograph!
I think the music producer said on ITT a couple of weeks ago that they have the first meeting with the pros the 12 days beforehand - so eg today they will be meeting the pros to decide on the music for next week, so you're right that the pros must have the outline of the dance in their head way before!
