January may be an anti-climax for most people after the Christmas holidays, however, for ballroom dancers everywhere, it brings the excitement of one of the most highly anticipated dance competitions of the year, Champions of Tomorrow, held in the iconic Winter Gardens, Blackpool. 

We have really been enjoying this year's seaon of Strictly Come Dancing. Here's our review of week 4.

We all love Movie Week!  We were very pleased to be introduced to  “ANT-on-Man”, which we really enjoyed. It was fun seeing him fly around the different practice sessions (all while Craig filed his nails). 

The Disney performance by the Strictly professionals was very cleverly executed, featuring a variety of the classic songs that we all know and love. It included a performance to ‘Let It Go’ from Frozen which our younger students love dancing to in their classes. We think this episode will have been very popular with families, young children and Disney fans of all ages. 

Firstly, I really liked this week’s show. It’s really good to see Anton showing more of his personality at the judging table, as opposed to imitating Len. There was some great routines in this show, with lots of amazing storytelling and musicality making it very enjoyable to watch.
