BBC2 continues the "Behind the scenes" programme "Strictly Come Dancing - It takes two" presented by Zoe Ball and Rylan Clarke-Neal. This show will air week nights 6.30pm - 7.00pm.
The competition will initially air on Saturday nights starting on 24th October. The first two weeks will see an accumulation of the scores, then the voting lines will be opened.
There will once more be a "dance off" where the two couples with the lowest scores after the judges & public votes are combined will have to perform again.
The judges will then make the final decision on the couple to leave the competition.

- Contemporary - Think lyrical/balletic/modern.
- Street/Commercial - Think urban/commercial/pop.
- Theatre/Jazz - Think Musical theatre/burlesque/tap etc.
There will be no performances from the Blackpool Tower Ballroom this year due to COVID-19 restrictions.
