Strictly a great advert for Blackpool

My home town looked great on the BBC tonight. What’s not to like about the Las Vegas of the north

Strictly is shit IMHO but yes it puts our famous ballroom in the spotlight.

100% agree.
I love my home town.
Starr Gate to Fleetwood.
Lucky to have been born and bred there with top Blackpool mates.
Tower Power ️

Every one of the Strictly dancers has earned their corn in the Winter Gardens or the Tower, whichever corner of the world they have come from. They travel every year to compete in Blackpool and it is treated globally as the premier ballroom dance event. We should all be proud of this.

And yes I have a vested interest. After taking my daughter to dance class after dance class for years I watched her pick up the junior world latin formation title at the Empress Ballroom. That's my girl

Spot on. A few years ago, I asked a Russian dancer why they have the World Championships here, when it could be in Paris, Milan or Las Vegas and she said “Every professional ballroom dancer in the world grows up dreaming of dancing in Blackpool”.

And well done to your daughter, that takes dedication and no small talent!
