Old strictly launch routine

19 replies

This is really bugging me so hoping someone can help! I remember a professional dance on strictly, think it was a launch dance, where they were in houses and woke up and danced their way down the streets. I remember thinking it was the best opening dance ever but can’t find it and am now wondering if I imagined it! Can anyone else remember it?! Thank you!

Long shot. From 9.45?

Was it the 2018 opening dance , they dance in the street and then they cut to the studio

Found it!

Come back and confirm OP. That was Monkseal's sex train, I think 2015 series 14 but would need to check. Prefer Vape's answer though.

Series 13
Cos Tony Beak got to the final with Katie Derham but never wore the pink silk Latin shirt, which unreasonably annoyed me! OCD geek girl. What can I say?

Whatkatyforgottodo · 17/10/2022 20:14

Sequinsandstilettos that’s the one! Thank you. Slightly disappointed it’s not as good as I remember though (although still enjoyable!)

Glad I could stop it bugging you at least! I hate it when that happens.
I also often have the "It was better in my memory" with regard to movies etc so totally get it. That routine I have a soft spot for, only because my favourite blogger used Porn Train as a recurring motif/call back in his blog.

I liked 2017 a lot - not Tony Beak's vocals but the male pros with lovely scarves then tuxes and Shirley being passed from pillar to post! Wink

Favourite female pros launch outfits. Nadiya - oh my days! 🔥
Plus Let's Dance always makes me think Les Dennis.

Who's Monkseal?

Ah, Monkseal. Gone but not forgotten! I still think 'Safety Sex Faces' every results show, and 'Shockboot!' on occasions like when Ritchie was kicked out a couple of weeks ago.
And Pissy Gorka, of course.

@SequinsandStilettos - who was the 'extra' blonde dancer in the group number there? I can see Luba and Nadiya but there is another blonde female dancer and I have no idea who she is.

LookItsMeAgain · 18/10/2022 17:50

She starts off the routine with her hand on Pasha's shoulder.

My query about who the blonde dancer is, is in this group number

SequinsandStilettos · 18/10/2022 20:11

Sorry. I was bingeing Am I being unreasonable? on iplayer.
Not sure where you mean, I'd need a time stamp, but I think there were two additional blondes added to that routine, as well as the 7 pros and Luba as back-up that series. If you are sad enough to pause it, you will count nine female dancers before Nadiya arrives. Two blondes are made up in the same way, one curlier hair, one straight to the left and right of the stage.
I think one is Gordana Grandosec (Trent's partner irl) which would make sense as she also took part in Children in Need Strictly that year (was paired up with Ronan). The other might be Giadi Lini (Graz's partner in real life).
I think Trent did the choreo for that launch number.

That was so good! Grin

SequinsandStilettos · 18/10/2022 20:16

I meant sad enough like me, of course, who did pause it! Wink

She's on here if you want to compare!
