Strictly Come Dancing 2023 – Week 1 Songs/Dances

The BBC left it pretty late, and when I was driving to a secret location, in order to reveal the week one dances but yesterday they finally did. And I can reveal that in a few hours time the class of 2023 will be performing the following routines…..

Layton and Nikita Samba to Touch by Little Mix
Angela and Kai Cha Cha to Get The Party Started by Shirley Bassey
Bobby and Dianne Foxtrot to All About You by Mc Fly
Jody and Jowita Quickstep to I’m Sitting on Top of the World by Bobby Darin
Angela and Carlos Tango to Prisoner by Miley Cyrus featuring Dua Lipa
Ellie and Vito Jive to Can’t Tame Her by Zara Larsson
Annabel and Johannes Cha Cha to Uptown Girl by Billy Joel
Eddie and Karen Quickstep to Two Hearts by Phil Collins
Les and Nancy Tango to Don’t You Want Me by the Human League
Adam and Luba Cha Cha to Waffle House by the Jonas Brothers
Amanda and Giovanni Viennese Waltz to Pointless by Lewis Capaldi
Nigel and Katya Paso Doble to Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana
Nikita and Gorka Waltz to Run To You by Whitney Houston
Zara and Graziano Cha Cha to Rush by Jennifer Page
Krishnan and Lauren Cha Cha to Boom Shack-A-Lack by Apache Indian

What do you think of the song choices? You can let me know as always over on Facebook, X, Instagram and Threads. Each time you get involved in the discussion on those networks you earn a chance to win prizes ranging up to a massive £500 Amazon voucher. But only the brave will win big. Full competition details can be found here!

Do I provide you with a useful service? That service costs me a lot to run with over £2.5k in hosting costs to keep this site up at peak times last year which is a ludicrous amount at the best of times never mind during a cost of living crisis! If you want to help me out with these costs with a one time donation (or just thank me for all the spoilers) you can do so using THIS LINK or the button below. Please only do so if you can afford to do and there is no obligation on anyone to help me out this way.

Or why not join the crew on patreon? Patreon subscribers gain exclusive access to the results of the exit poll each week. The earliest indication as to how the public vote has gone providing a possible spoiler hours before any other source as soon as The BBC vote closes each week. If that’s not enough the spoiler will be shared to patreon subscribers free of other monetisation in an ad free form! All for a voluntary level of contribution starting from less than the price of a coffee each month!

Or why not switch your energy to Octopus energy. If you get a quote and switch using my magic link we both get £50 credited to our energy bills, very useful with energy prices still being higher than before the energy crisis.

Or support me for free and earn yourselves cashback on your everyday shopping towards your mobile phone bills. Sign up to Airtime Rewards using promo code 6T7W9L6X, link your credit/debit card and any time you shop at participating retailers you will automatically earn cash back which can be credited towards your mobile phone bill on most major UK networks

Strictly Come Dancing 2022 – Week 1 Discussion/Poll

Here we go. It’s the start of week 1 and our first chance to see the moves of the class of 2022. Whilst no one will be eliminated tonight there is a lot to talk about still.

Who shouldn’t make any plans for the next few months. And who may as well book a holiday in October? You can let me know your thoughts about that or anything else to do with tonight’s show right here in the comments section or over on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram. There’s no prizes quite yet but the competition will be kicking off next weekend in time for the first spoiler.

A poll will open right here once all the couples have danced so don’t forget to check back for that later tonight

In 2021 I spent over £3k in hosting costs to keep this site up at peak times which is a ludicrous amount at the best of times never mind during a cost of living crisis! If you want to help me out with these costs with a one time donation you can do so using THIS LINK or the button below. Please only do so if you can afford to do so especially during this cost of living crisis and there is no obligation on anyone to help me out this way.

Or why not join the crew on patreon? Patreon subscribers gain exclusive access to the results of the exit poll each week.

Complaints to the BBC

What do you think of the song choices? As always you can let me know your thoughts over on the social networks or right here in the comments section. No prizes quite yet but the competition will be kicking off next week once the spoilers start to roll in.

We’re heading into Strictly season so traffic to this site, and therefore my costs will soon start to sky rocket.

If you want to help me out with these costs with a one time donation you can do so using THIS LINK or the button below.
