Strictly Dance Troupe Unveiled

The BBC have announced the dancers joining Ian and Darren in Strictly's new professional demonstration dance group.

They are Tanya Perera, who previously appeared in Dirty Dancing in the West End, Shem Jacobs, a commercial dancer who has backed up stars including Alexandra Burke and Pixie Lott, Aneta Piotrowska, a former dance partner of Derek Hough, and Crystal Main, whose dance credts include Anton & Erin's Simply Ballroom and Darren & Lilia's Latin Fever.

The pairings are Darren & Crystal, Ian & Aneta and Shem & Tanya.

I am really excited that Crystal has been picked for the show. She's a fantastic dancer who has lots of personality on the floor. And she is a proper latin & ballroom dancer.
