Format:Hardcover
Got this as a christmas present and as a massive Strictly fan I loved this book. Ok so it probably isn't for a dance expert but I'm sure there is other books for that. It is funny and informative, think the Brian Cox of ballroom. It is really interesting to read about the history of the dances and ballroom in general as well as a bit on Anton's dance life. I also think I will have a better understanding of the strictly judges now ... well maybe not Bruno.

Deeply disappointing
From the title I expected proper explanations about different dances and particular moves within dances but it was superficial and frivolous. Read more
