No matter how many years I’ve been watching this programme the launch dance never fails to amaze just jaw dropping! I must congratulate the make up and costume departments They are just amazing how incredible their talents are! 🎉👏🏆

[@garycornelius8224]

The best launch show ever. I've lost count of the number of times I've watched this clip!

[@AlliB_Graham]

I love love LOVE the gold outfits. So stunning! And Dianne looks like a literal goddess 😍

[@gerardsloan1593]

Glad this show is back on : ) after a busy stressful summer I now have something to look forward to and enjoy :) I used to watch strictly like I would watch WWE - a guilty pleasure lol. But now it is just pleasure :) this is one of the highlights of the year (I wouldn't watch anything else on TV regularly I make an exception with this case) :) this show gets better every year and I am glad to see the familiar faces return :) it's an extravaganza with beautiful set pieces, music and beautiful people, my Saturday evenings will be reserved over Autumn/Winter :) god bless you all, have a good day reader :)

[@melanieshirkey5276]

The female pros look like goddesses in their golden outfits. Gorgeousness all around. Does anybody know Jowita's weight? She was like a feather in Vito's arms 🤩 🤩🤩

[@valerieselau7384]

Phenomenon performance 😊

Amazing season 21.✨✨💫

[@mazda2038]

Stunning ❤

[@S_J_banana]

I hope this is Diane’s year ❤

[@chalkiememe4183]

Absolutely amazing, I have no words to describe how fantastic that performance was. My husband was laughing at me after I watched this on my iPad with headphones on as apparently I was holding myself tight but kind of dancing along to something, when I told him it was the strictly professionals opening number he was laughing saying “ so it’s a few weeks of you dancing around the house then “ 😂 true tho.

[@imogenbroadhead6056]

Ahhhh so happy! Bobby and Dianne are my favourites xx

[@efremfrazier956]

BEAUTIFUL....JUST BEAUTIFUL! THIS is why I prefer Strictly over DWTS!

[@destyneefloyd6804]

i look forward to these every year

[@firemansamfanhub1689]

Jowita is so beautiful in her black launch show dress and her gold one🪩💃🕺🎊

[@hugojesusurrutia]

This program has a first-line creative team, congratulations

[@alexburgess2180]

Amazing still love to watch this now… In Feb 24

[@oliverdale1027]

This routine will surely become iconic.

[@Polar_bear_live]

I love the show start it’s an amazing every year you lot improve it

[@JAMESMILLERmrmogz11]

I need this version of rhythm is a dancer!

[@jusxanovaxgurl]

This was just epic! Everything from the way it was shot, the performances, the dancing and the story telling

[@oliverdale1027]

This routine is for Amy Dowden. Get well soon, Amy

[@gerardsloan1593]

PS I feel Les Dennis will be this year version of Tony Adams- he will struggle, but he will be popular with fans and they will vote to keep him in. Anyone agree? PS I am an honorary scouse (went to LJMU) so I love all things Liverpool :) have a good day reader :)

[@krystynanikolowa998]

[@calvinliu6304]

We are back

[@jewels_x]

is it just me or does anyone hear another song in this a more new version of the song but I can't remember who its by...

[@gavm6812]

The song is a rework of Rhythm Is A Dancer by Snap, or do you mean there is another song mixed in?

[@jewels_x]

​@@gavm6812I know the song is by snap but I'm sure there is a remake of it but a pop song this generation

[@florianarndt]

[@charliekane135]

Who are these people? 😆 Annabel Croft, Les Dennis and Rippon are the only people I know. Oh and that Guru Murthy guy 😝 Literally none of the actors, I don't watch soaps.

[@Bethhhf]

I’m so happy it’s back, I love this show sm 🥰💃🏻🕺🏼🪩

[@jaynepearson187]

Does anyone know where the beginning of this was filmed please?

[@philipdobinson8275]

The building with the stairs outside and then dancing inside around the rotunda is Tate Britain

[@jaynepearson187]

@@philipdobinson8275 Thanks for that 👍

[@robertevans9148]

who is the dancer that starts the vid?

[@berrie_921]

That’s Jowita Przystal

[@tomrushall-jones1014]

I'm what michael Rodwell faye windass Adam Thomas to win

[@jamesblundell4616]

Sexy nigel gets my vote ❤❤❤

[@alesotosolano33]

Why Giovanni's didnt dont dance this opening? 👀

[@ellie9311]

I noticed that too he wasn't dancing in the studio

[@ellie9311]

I just read that the peformances they do at the beginning, they film them way back in the summertime before the show is shown and Giovanni was on tour with Anton and injured his ankle that's why he isn't in the opening dance performances this year

[@tracyjacob7091]

I'm calling it now, Bobby brazier will win, it a popularity contest now, and not how good they are at dancing

[@sameerrajakumar]

This is similar to Dancing With The Stars

[@robertevans9148]

But better

[@sosoomar4628]

😢OTI

[@TheBiologyking]

I just don’t get it why is it so ‘amazing’

[@magnificentminion703]

Unpopular Opinion: i want Giovanni to leave Strictly

[@magnificentminion703]

Not that I side with anyone cos it's none of my business and no one knows exactly what happened in the training rooms apart from the ones who were in there, I just think Giovanni has outgrown the show he just does not bring anything to strictly anymore like Amy, Kai, Gorka, Dianne, Johannes, Nadiya, Nancy etc

[@charliekane135]

So Strictly has gone full on woke 😆 who'd have thought it on a BBC programme

[@ozvargas]

Not quite spectacular as previuos years.

[@LianSmith-e8e]

Im cringing in my underware

[@jamiesworld1690]

It's about time I mean this should have sired back in August or 1st week in September this us far too late should have done ut as soon as kids are back to school abd back to work I meB majes sense or on in late August as summer tv is dead

[@devonharrison5000]

Strictly always starts this time of year what are you talking about

[@jamiesworld1690]

@@devonharrison5000 it should be on early or at least first weekend in September as there is nothing to watch on tv on Saturday during August

[@frankduffy2413]

Utter cringe
