SCD '20 #2: First dances (and HRVY'S FRST DNC), but no hallowe'en

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

Last thread here.

I thought we might run out of space soon!

Thanks for the new thread Polka [glittterball]

Oh darn 3 t's no glitterball !!!!!

Can Strictly continue when if we go to a full lockdown with schools staying open next week? Have they factored that in?

Can Strictly continue when if we go to a full lockdown with schools staying open next week? Have they factored that in?

Just searched out this thread to ask the same thing...... it should be a minor consideration in the grand scheme of things but I'm finding the thought of strictly being pulled weirdly depressing!!

I think they can continue, although they might stop having an audience. They seem to be taking all the right precautions so even if one celeb or pro gets it they shouldn't have much risk of spreading it to the others. Plus, I think it's reasonable to give priority to popular entertainment in times of crisis, even if it carries a risk, as it really is cheering for many people.

I've set up a new thread because I'll be out for a bit today and didn't want this one to completely run out before tonight!

Feel free to get this one to 1000 before moving over though, then we'll all be in the right place for tonight.

@ppeatfruit

Sequins Yes that would be a good idea. But of course someone will have to go and the standard is very high this year.

I think it's down to someone ;I can't remember who it was, saying just GO FOR IT to the celebrities and this year they really seem to have taken the advice .

It looks like the group dance is going to be proper spooky tomorrow YAAY. Better than the all of them dressed up like idiot ghouls or whatever!

We wondered whether they've chosen slightly younger and/or fitter celebs, as well, just to be on the safe side, which helps with the standard.

I'll miss tonight's as will be in the home town of ballroom dancing! I'll do a little salsa outside the tower for you all!

Thanks polka
We could fill it with Halloween classics? and some dodgy routines from this week's DWTS

My favourite Halloween routine is still Harry

Then Pixie's tango

then Alison's Wuthering Smooth

From across the pond it has to be Mark Ballas and Lindsey's paso

Good idea!

One of the sillier ones — .

then Gleb and Jana's paso (even though it wasn't strictly on Halloween)

Good one polka

Lastly from DWTS Derek and Bindi's AT

For all the Natalie fans, a .

And from this week's Villains episode

1. because the rest were really gruesome
2. thought you would like to see Artem in a dalmatian suit

That VW was lovely polka
Off for a quick . Happy Halloween everyone!

I’m out my little twirlers, stampers, gliders and squaddietwosteppers.

Flooding and gales are wreaking their own little pockets of havoc.

With it being Samhain, I shan’t be alone tonight.

I will put in my tuppences later.

I always miss Aliona when halloween comes around on Strictly, she used to do some great ones. Monkseal used to say that she took advantage of halloween to choreograph her personal sexual fantasies. He might have been right, she always managed to make the dorkiest of partners seem darkly and dangerously sexy at halloween.

Awful theme, but some fantastic tricks: Ashley and Pasha's .

@mogloveseggs

I wish they'd go back to them all doing the same week by week.

So do I, then you can compare like with like.

At the moment it is often "Did X make a worse cock-up of the Ttango than Y did of the american smooth? "

Evening All... Happy Halloween 🎃
Don’t know if I’m sorry about it not being Halloween themed tonight or not.
Did we ever find out why? (Sorry if it’s been explained a dozen times already and I missed it)

Evening all

Tess and Claudia- nice choice of outfits
