This week's themes are just annoying.

If I manage to get through, can we pick our own style of dance next week and have no restrictions on songs, like the artist having to come from a certain country, or the artist has to be a Diva?

By the way Jake, don't send the song I've sent you, to the judges just yet, I think I'm gonna change my mind. I've found one that fits my dance more. I'll send it to you tomorrow.

[Strictly Jake]

OK I won't send your song yet

But I did say I'd give you all a challenge this week! It's just something different to try out it may work it may not....but I have really liked the choices I have had so far so everyone has managed to step up to the challenge

You won't get to pick your own dance as everyone's dance throughout the series has already been determined but I'll give you all a rest every couple of shows and it will be any song you want for that dance, no theme. But no you won't get to choose your dance until the semi final when you get to decide 2 dances that you haven't performed on the series yet

[smudgie]

Ahhhh.
Just realised you don’t have to find the actual dance routine.

Sending mine now.
