It is that time of year again to get on those dancing shoes and whip out the sequins, because yep you’ve guessed it Strictly Come Dancing is back on our screens!! With an all star line-up, you really are going to be in for a treat!
Yet again the producers of Strictly have not failed us with a great range of celebrities from across the board. Already the bookies are picking their favourites.
Contestants:
Here is this years line up, with a wonderful range of characters we here at Dancemania cannot wait to watch more!
This season kicked off with a vey special launch show hosted by Tess Daily and Bruce Forsythe! It was where we got to see the next 14 contestants who are going to battle it out to be crowned the winner of Strictly Come Dancing 2010. The launch show was also an opportunity for the contestants to meet who they were dancing with and from the reactions no-one was dissappointed! The professional dancers gave their usual flawless group perfomance that had you jiggling along and bursting at the seams to get up on the dance floor and join them (well I know I did!).
Also this season we have three, very talented new male professional dancers joining the team! Wahoo I hear you say! Watch out for:
ARTEM CHIGVINTSEV, a Latin Champion who is a graduate of ‘So You Think You Can Dance’ in the US and has unique experience of very different dancing genres in addition to his ballroom champion-level skill.
JARED MURILLO, who at 21, was a US open Swing Youth champion. Trained in America, Jared was a principal dancer in the movies ‘High School Musical’ 1 & 2.
ROBIN WINDSOR, has completed five world tours of a worldwide ballroom show. He says that he’s not a “conventional” style of ballroom dancer.
The judges will be back on form giving advice and criticisms as each contestant dances their heart out in front of them! The juding panel includes, the legend in the ballroom world Len Goodman, the fiesty but fair Bruno Tonioli, the Simon Cowell of the dance world Craig Revel Horwood and last but certainly not least the beautiful, sassy Alesha Dixon. Claudia Winkleman will also be hosting the Sunday results show with Tess which will be a nice change.
It looks like its going to be a great series with lots of what we love here at Dancemania……Dancing, Dancing and more Dancing!! Wishing all the contestants the best of luck and lets see who is this years winner of Strictly Come Dancing 2010!!
