Strictly Come Dancing (informally known as Strictly) is a British television dance contest in which celebrities partner with professional dancers to compete in mainly ballroom and Latin dance. Each couple is scored by a panel of judges. The title of the show is a continuation of the long-running series Come Dancing, with an allusion to the film Strictly Ballroom. The format has been exported to 60 other countries — under the title Dancing with the Stars — licensed by BBC Worldwide, and led to a modern dance-themed spin-off Strictly Dance Fever. The Guinness World Records has named Strictly to be the world's most successful reality television format. The series is currently presented by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.

My Own thoughts

Strictly Presents was like watching several shows in the one production.
This captivated Audience was treated to the elegance and grace of ballroom then taken to the pulsating vibrancy of Latin Many other styles were performed, making this production a celebration of different cultures through Dance
The energy and precision with each dynamic movement was incredible to capture.
