I'm hoping they stay in and would love to see them do the American Smooth at Blackpool. With the big dance floor they could do an amazing AS.

I feel that the tower ballroom floor is best for the fast moving dances like VW and QS. Sadly I think that Danny has done those, but something like a Samba, in latin could work very well too.

They do say that it is a big floor, but in reality its not that big. No doubt in comparison to Elstree where the celebs dance, it is a great deal larger, but the Empress ballroom in the Blackpool Wintergardens is quite a bit larger. When is the Blackpool week ?

Well I like the song but I would not say its a suitable Foxtrot as such but its a pop song that you can dance to, which is all they play on this show. I'm sure Oti will choreograph something amazing - I am very impressed which what she has done so far.

I've only started Ballroom and Latin classes myself in the last year or so (I'm not a young wan) and I'm loving it. My parents would have been ballroom dancers, but the basic type.....no lessons or anything. Are you still able to dance for pleasure??

Yes we had competed at a top level ( domestic and International) for many years but we don't compete anymore due to my ankle injury.We do still practice and dance " for fun", and still take lessons to keep our hand in. It really doesn't matter what standard you are, for me, there is nothing more pleasurable than being able to dance any dance to any music - the more beautiful the track the better. Enjoy your classes !

Thanks Jennifer. I've always loved music and dancing seems to come fairly naturally to me. I get enormous pleasure from it and I am glad your injury doesn't stop you from doing something you love.
![]() Looking forward to seeing Danny's training video... |

I have actually heard this song! Makes a change. I saw a video where someone made a compilation of clips from Daredevil, the Netflix programme, starring Charlie Cox. It was very clever.
Take Me To Church I am looking forward to this. I am sure it will be much better than the clip shown upthread! |
