I remember this show when I was a kid - it was about DANCING. No fake tan, not a bloody celeb in site - and the audience didn't drown the band out with out of time clapping. Far more class altogether.
As a child these dresses fascinated me and I used watch the program for those and the sometimes disastrous 'freestyle' section. Not a celebrity in sight :)
The man is walking about the room with his hands full of huge rose fluffy ball, out of which the woman's head is sticking out.This rose dress, gives another meaning to the "ball room dancing".
I can remember watching an episode years ago with my Mum and one of the dancers span too quickly and flew across the dance floor. Flat out on her back and disappeared under a spectators table! She was in a bouncy tangerine gown similar to the first one and had huge tangerine ball earrings on. The camera quickly turned away to another couple. I'm surprised it's never appeared on a TV bloopers programme somewhere.
@@jeankelly7517 I remember this wonderful dress from my childhood watching this, it was such a pretty dress and the sequins sparkled like diamonds. I hope Mum in law is still doing well.
@@jeankelly7517 I'm so sorry to hear that Jean, may she rest well. This lovely couple won't be forgotten and especially Mum in that beautiful dress, they looked like kind and decent people.

The first couple dancing are my grandparents Ken and Joyce 🥰
Has still got the frock
She is beautiful
Crystal Chiffon in " Sunblush " You never hear that said anymore ! Fabulous
And she made the dress herself!
Used to watch this when I was a little girl, it’s changed so much
I remember watching come dancing after returning from the pub, possibly on a Saturday night.
A wonderful frilly for the lady to wear, thank you.

Ah, lovely memories of watching this with my Gran when I was small. Like other comments, I found the dresses fascinating 🙂
Love you mum dad
Beautiful xxxx😢🎉😢
I also wore those dresses. I danced competition from 1972 to 1994. They were really not easy to dance.
i loved those shows
This is almost a parody of the whole genre and I love it. All I need is Terry Wotan’s voiceover and I am 14 years old again
VERY PRETTY DRESS

at the begining
Wow,
A thousand times better than that pish on BBC1 nowdays
Spot on
Yes. It was a much classier show then.
That looked a little like sequence dancing at the end - like they do on cruise ships.
And these couples were about 19 years old 🤣🤣
No the first couple in the salmon powder puff dress had a son of 21 in 1974.
No spray tan in those days
Who made those dresses? I didn't know petticoats could do that! Nice
The first dancer in salmon powder puff dress made her own dresses.
She is my mother in law
@@jeankelly7517 well she is amazing with her sewing skills. Truly.

And look at strictly rubbish
The first woman looks like the doll my Nana used to put on her toilet rolls 😊
yes I just told my husband the same thing. Best to go to the loo before you put the dress on lol
Never realised Danny La Rue did such good ballroom
😳wha
oh stop showing off
Jealous are we.
