Professional dancers
Brendan Cole, Erin Boag and Anton Du Beke are the only professional dancers who have taken part in all seven series of the show. Erin and Anton have never won the competition; Brendan won the first series with Natasha Kaplinsky.
Many of the dancers form professional partnerships, dancing competitively or for show. Several, such as James & Ola Jordan and Matthew & Nicole Cutler, are or were married couples.[10][11] Anton du Beke & Erin Boag, and Darren Bennet & Lilia Kopylova, have danced as professional couples since 1997; Vincent Simone & Flavia Cacace are a former Argentine Tango world champion couple. Ian Waite & Camilla Dallerup also form a professional partnership, while Brendan Cole & Katya Virshilas danced professionally for several years before parting in November 2009.
The Dances
- The Waltz, Cha Cha Cha, Quickstep, Rumba, Tango, Jive, Foxtrot, Paso Doble and Samba have all been danced since Series 1.
- The American Smooth and the Viennese Waltz were added in Series 3.
- The Salsa and the Argentine Tango were added in Series 4.
- No more dances were added until Series 7 week 11 when couples performed either a Charleston (which winner Chris Hollins chose to perform again in the final) or a Rock N' Roll routine. The final also featured a head-to-head Lindyhop.
- A Showdance (Freestyle) has always been performed in series final as couples' last chance to impress the public.
