DWTS Troupe Member Emma Slater Lands Pro On Strictly Come Dancing
It sounds like troupe member, Emma Slater, won’t be returning to Dancing With The Stars next season? BBC News is reporting that Emma has landed a new pro position on the UK’s “Strictly Come Dancing”. She is one of four new pros replacing older pros. Below is more….
It only seems like yesterday that we dusted off the glitter of last year’s triumphant Grand Final, and now with the a new series in the not too distant future, we have news to announce at Strictly HQ.
This year we’ll be waving goodbye to Flavia, Vincent, Erin and Aliona. After many successful series entertaining the nation with their spectacular Ballroom and Latin routines, our much loved pro-dancers will be hanging up their Strictly shoes. It won’t be the last that you will see of them though, Flavia and Vincent promise to return to deck the halls with glitterballs, for the Christmas special.
So we are very pleased to reveal four new incredible professional dancers who will take to the floor in the autumn…Emma Slater

CONGRATULATIONS Emma, but, we will miss you!! Thanks to PureDWTS reader Jen for this news.
Thanks for the mention Vogue, and also congrats Emma! I think she’s gonna fit in excellent, though. For anyone wondering, she’s joining SYTYCD finalist Janette Manrara as one of the four new pros, too.
So everyone but me is able to reconigze Emma’s face?! I may know who she is but don’t know her name. I’m guessing they may not be adding female pros then and sticking with Sharna and Lindsay for the new ones right? I’ve been thinking about them keeping them. But I really want to see Anna back and maybe Chelsea. Maybe let Peta and Cheryl take a break. They obviously need one. They just don’t seem into dancing on the show anymore.
Jocelyn, don’t assume anything about this news. It’s too early to say. You never know what the TPTB of DWTS will do in keeping and/or adding someone new…or bringing someone back?
I’m so happy for her! But I’m soooo sad because I wanted her to be pro for our Dancing with the stars!!!! 🙁 in gonna miss u emma!! Come back soon
Great for Emma. And happy to know where Janette M landed. She was one of my favorites on SYTYCD and I remember being so disappointed when she was cut. I’ll have to plan on watching SCD on the net next fall so I can watch her dance again.
I wish the US did a Christmas special, can you imagine all of the old pros coming back, just an hour of fun pro dancing to watch with Christmas music and decorations!
Vogue,that is true. I really do hope Anna comes back. She and Evan were 2nd place in season 10 so it would be cool if she could snag that trophy before a permanet break.
Tara, I wish they’d do a Christmas special here too. That would be awesome!
Kudos to Emma. Good for her and good luck to her!
Was hoping to see Emma as a pro next season on DWTS but I’ll be elated to see her on Strictly.
I may not know who the celebrities are 99% of the time on Strictly but the show is so much fun I just can’t help but watching it online. Now that Emma is on it I’ll be even more excited to watch 😀
(Gonna miss Aliona though.. I love her ;\ )
Very happy for Emma and Janette.
Aahh, I love Vincent and Flavia. I’ll miss seeing their pro dance demonstrations on youtube. I’m addicted to watching their pro Samba and Argentine Tangos over and over again.
Speaking of SCD. Does anyone have trouble watching it on their English Network’s website? How does a stateside person go about watching it?
@susan2 – Most of the people I know that watch it Stateside seem to watch it on tv…maybe on BBC America? I’m not 100% sure, though, because I don’t have that channel.
You can stream UK TV the same way that people stream US TV. Just sayin’. 🙂
We don’t get BBC America either.
I have tried to watch it online but this message popped up that said I was not allowed to or something like that.
I haven’t tried to live stream it. I’ll try that. Thanks!
Makes it more difficult to see her I was hoping DWTS would make Emma a pro over here. She was my fav dancer on the show, season 17 will be void of euro chic without her. I’m not sure how to stream UK TV but will found out. Well done Emma though really sad to see you go.
