Let's dance ...

... as David Bowie put it. Here are some STRICTLY COME DANCING  favourites ... its the original English annual dance series (America has DANCING WITH THE STARS), camp over-the-top glitz and glamour doesn't get any better. We are now half-way through our season, brightening up these winter Saturday and Sunday evenings. Apart from the costumes and the routines there is also the satisfaction of seeing the weaker dancers being weeded out, leaving the best for the final shows.

Sportsman Ben Cohen dazzled last night in that sparkly sailor suit with a very energetic jive - Kristina is certainly training him up! 

Popstrel Sophie Ellis-Bextor did a nifty charleston too, with Brendan. I expect to see her in the final. Abbey Clancey is also terrific (and looks marvellous) and should be another finalist. 

We loved last year's winners Olympian Louis Smith and the beyond fabulous Flavia Cacace .... it is of course bliss seeing Flavia and her partner Vincent doing the Argentine Tango ...




The previous year I liked this dazzling charleston by Artem and Holly Valance.

and of course that year's winner Harry Judd and Aliona, see Dance label.
Now where are my dancing shoes ...
Ben and Kristina's final dance - another nifty charleston.
