what do they know about dancing? Nothing

At least when our local BBC did their own version for Children in need,
they got Keith and Judy Clifton to judge it.
OK they "happen" to run the local dance school in Grimsby

You would think in Southport they would be close enough to major dance place - like blackpool- to get someone qualified, even a local dance teacher

there are loads of teachers in Southport for that matter or Liverpool which is nearer - think they are just after minor celebs to be honest

Just checked with local Southport dance teacher and promoter who is a friend he says that

When the foundation run the Liverpool leg of this they partner local professionals with amateurs and its all just a bit of fun again think it was just minor celebs who judged

The event in Southport is run the same, it was a big success last year with plenty of local dance schools involved.

That's interesting news
