Hellooo Everyone
Just a quick reminder that the nation’s favourite dancing show will be back on our screens this Saturday on BBC 1 at 7 pm whoop! Exciting is building so it comes as no surprise to find out people are desperate to learn how to watch BBC from abroad!
This year’s famous faces will shimmy their way onto the ballroom and will find out who their dancing partners will be.
Who will be dancing with who?
The live shows will be aired on September 23 and I cannot wait!
I remember when my dance partner Robin Windsor and I were first partnered at the reveal. We clicked straight away.
Robin arrived covered in a feather boas and I thought to myself ‘We are going to have fun!
I was impressed that Robin had done alot of research on my background. From the very beginning we just got on like a house on fire and we loved dancing together.
I remember at our rehearsals that I would get stressed if I did not pick up the steps really quickly.
I like to pick thing up the first time.
The hardest part of the routine for me was the facial expressions. Robin and Jake Wood (who was my mentor as a previous contestant ) suggested that we were going to spend a couple of sessions on facial expressions.
I was to role play and nick named ‘Betsy’. I lived in the roaring 20’s which was to get me in the mood for the Charleston.
I found it really difficult at first since pulling faces felt a bit weird then I thought ‘Anna just go for it ‘ It worked!
So put on your sparkly costumes for Saturday and Keep Dancing!!!
