Halfway Highlights: Drama, Glamour and A-MAZING Moments on the Strictly Dance Floor

Boos, Ballgowns and Bewitching Moves

It’s week five on Strictly and it’s another themed week: Icons Week. The celebrities have been given the chance to show off their dance moves as their favourite icons. From Cher to Cheryl Cole, lots of big names are sure to make a splash.

We’re now onto week four. At this point in the competition, we’re starting to see the improvements from the celebrities more visibly. We’re back to the normal judging panel and may I say they all looked smashing in their outfits, especially Anton’s white number (hello, Mr Bond).

It is Movie Week on Strictly Come Dancing, the first of the themed weeks. Week three opens with a spectacular performance from the professional dancers to the music from Wicked. I always enjoy when the themes begin, as this is the first time we get to see the celebrities’ acting abilities and how they bring well-known characters to life, alongside their continuing dance improvements.

It’s week two in the wonderful world of Strictly Come Dancing. For the first time this series the public get to have their say and vote for their favourite dancers. The leaderboard now combines judges’ scores with this week’s all important public votes, and for one unlucky couple the glitterball dream comes to an end.

The glitter balls are sparkling, the smell of fake tan fills the air, and the sound of the orchestra can be heard warming up. The nights are drawing in and the blankets are snuggling tightly. We need one thing and one thing only: STRICTLY!
