Strictly 2017

Another year, another BBC dance  marathon for  winter weekends: STRICTLY COME DANCING. Of course  after 15 years with 15 contestants each year the pool of 'celeberities' diminishes, as, like last year, one wonders who most of these celebs are - but again one is pleasantly surprised as they take to the floor for some terrific dance entertainment. (I really only knew 5 of this current  crop.) Already, in the third week, the top half dozen are rising to the top. Here are some of the best so far .... (see Dance label for previous years)
Its the professional dancers who fascinate me, coming up with these routines each week - Janette and Katya are fearless (well she took on Ed Balls last year), Oti is a delight, and is there anything camper than Aljaz ....

  1. Welcome back, Mike! I had wondered where you had got to. Hope all is well with you. I thought Aston and Janette's Salsa was totally awesome. Maddy

  2. Hi Maddy, good to hear from you. I had a mini-break for a while. Alexandra is bound to win, but perhaps unfairly she has the most experience, starring in shows like SISTER ACT.
