I’m fairness to Janette she’s using cameo to raise money for charity. The dance lessons are £7 a time which is roughly the same as classes generally. Whilst is only on zoom you’d pay far more for an in person master class.
I wasn’t posting it to moan, I think it’s absolutely fair that they need to make money and pay their bills. Cameo, dance classes, whatever they need to do. We all have to do something to be paid! Just more a sad observation and a hope that professionals and the crews they work with can get through this and we still have a theatre/concert culture when it’s all done!I’m fairness to Janette she’s using cameo to raise money for charity.

Contracts appear to be signed already but I think that there are a few who are mostly signing on for a safe paycheck. Karen is probably going to do one more year (therefore equalling Ola & Erin's 10 series) but will likely call it a day after this one. Janette is 50/50 - I think her work is done having made the final but may do one more year just for the paycheck.You’d imagine all the pro dancers will jump at the opportunity to do Strictly again if contracts are offered to them all for this year with things being so uncertain. The only changes I could see are more of them (the backing ones becoming main pros) maybe Anton becoming a judge or possibly Karen/Janette leaving for personal reasons but I’d say unlikely this year
Agree on Graziano. My issue isn't his choreo but that his ballroom was shocking for a pro, beginner level and it's not like he's done much to improve it since then. Luba is one I'm very skeptical about as her choreo for Jason was just no good and I'm not sure I'd trust her with a contender so after two early boots, might be one for the bench.I hope Graziano dosen’t get a partner. He was so awful with Vick Hope a few years back.
I don’t know enough about Luba or Nadiya honestly even though they seem nice neither have gone far. Same obviously with Nancy but she has been talked up a lot by other pros. Not sure on Neil either.
I do hope they have more celebs than they had in 2020 though. I felt the show went very quick and I didn’t really get too attached to any of them. I really liked the 2018 cast, good dancers and some seemed like really nice people with some scandal thrown in too.

I really can't stand that woman. She's so overbearing.So Caroline thinks there was no justification for our reaction to her behaviour in the Cha Cha:

Seeing as she was voted off that night i guess you could say we were the ones to tell her to F-off.So Caroline thinks there was no justification for our reaction to her behaviour in the Cha Cha:

Karen only recently said last year she'd do 5-8 more if they brought her back and her body allowed it, so really she's done at 45 no matter what.You’d imagine all the pro dancers will jump at the opportunity to do Strictly again if contracts are offered to them all for this year with things being so uncertain.

I hope that doesn't happen. Nothing against Karen and she is great at bringing out her partners personalities but don't think she really brings enough to the table to justify that many more series (not singling her out in particular, a lot of pros have an expiry date of 8-10 series), I'd give her one last roll of the dice this year and then let someone new have the chance in her place.Karen only recently said last year she'd do 5-8 more if they brought her back and her body allowed it, so really she's done at 45 no matter what.
