KEEP DANCING

I like when they bring something different.

Dame Sarah Storey dancing with Julian

It was good iirc… wonder why it disappeared after one series

The one I am remembering definitley isn't. I watched that too!

This had formation dances and everything. And Lindy Hopping.

Well said Anton!

Those were not normal people. It was all trained and pro dancers trying different styles. Good show though.

Most decorated Olympian ever isn’t she? Or just GB

Is the quickstep choreographed by the pro?

Always thought it a bit random that Cat Deeley presented the American version.

Craig was so harsh there.

Flipping heck - this guy seems something of a snowflake! They're all falling over themselves to try to cheer him up.

Yes. I suspect she’ll just leaned in to what he knows.

He was right!

..everyone do what you like, as long as it ends up on Tik Tok

So distracted by will best's nipples...

Katya’s dress is beautiful.

I think he already thought as himself as a near pro and he doesn't strike me as someone used to.criticism.

Not certain

I agree, but the shoes don’t really go!

He was first on. Must have made an impression.

Yes, I remember it being trained dancers starting out… no titles or showbiz experience, but definitely a history of dance classes

Lovely costumes tonight. Amy’s silver tango dress 💜 . Some awkward moments. Not sure we were ready for the blow dry joke. Josh can’t follow a cue to save his life and Johannes needs to stop trying to talk over applause.

I know. That face could have curdled milk. He was a step away from a strop. Not attractive in an adult male.

I've fallen down a rabbit hole trying to find that dancing programme - it wasn't So You Think You Can Dance, it was before that I think. I also remember a lot of lindy hopping!

He needs a bra
