Strictly fans ‘love the chaos’ of the Instant Dance


Unsurprisingly, viewers quickly took to social media to share their reactions to the brand new Strictly Come Dancing challenge. It was the first-ever time that an Instant Dance took place on the iconic BBC show.
One fan said: “Actually really enjoying this ‘instant dance’ section and they’ve not even danced yet. The costume selection by the celebs is completely mad.”
Another added: “This instant dance is chaos haha loved it.” One echoed: “This instant Dance challenge is pure chaos.”
A fan said: “Enjoying #StrictlyComeDancing and the delightful craziness of the instant dance. The hooter sound takes me right back to being a kid watching Noel's House Party.”
One enthusiastic viewer added: “Can we do this every week please and the final be nothing but instant dance.”
How did the Instant Dance work?
The celebs had selected envelopes with a previous dance last week in Blackpool, but were left unaware of which it would be. After finding out which one they would be taking on, they had mere seconds to select a wardrobe and just 10 seconds to decide on the moves for it.
After all six Strictly couples had danced, the Strictly judges then ranked them and award their extra marks accordingly. A maximum of six marks will be awarded to the couple whose Instant Dance performance impressed them the most, right down to one point for the couple whose dance impressed them the least.
Head Judge Shirley Ballas said: "Instant Dance has the power to change everything for our couples, and will challenge them in ways they have never been challenged before.
“With standards so incredibly high this year and the competition so close, there's a lot resting on it. The dance styles, costumes and music might not be revealed until the night, but what we can be sure of right now is that it's going to be a whole lot of fun. I cannot wait!"
