Strictly Come Dancing has arrived back onto our screens at last, and not a moment too soon. Here to add some cheer to the remainder of 2020 is the nation’s favourite entertainment show - the glitz, the glamour, the fun and the drama!

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Despite the lack of audience in the studio, the Strictly experience was not hampered. The lack of a studio crowd was swiftly forgotten in favour of watching the incredible performances, and the production team worked wonders. When we perform, we must have the belief that we are the best dancer we can possibly be. It is requirement of the profession, because passion requires self-belief. Emotion is a vital part of performance. Sometimes the technical prowess on display can be overruled or amplified by the warmth and spirit displayed in a dance. For those early weeks of the competition, an emotional connection can be more important that getting the steps right. People bring their own perceptions to a dance and to a dancer. Comedians appearing on Strictly generally tends towards energy and comedy. Sports personalities tend towards energy and athleticism. A personality plays a huge role in the perspective we have on a dance.BEST MOMENTS
