Ballrooms and Ballerinas: Dance at the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV
How the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV's cameras have captured dance through the years, from profiling stars like Margot Fonteyn to teaching us how to do the twist and the success of Strictly Come Dancing.
Strictly Come Dancing - today one of the most popular shows on television - is the latest manifestation of the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV's enduring love affair with dance. Whether it was profiling stars such as Margot Fonteyn, reluctantly teaching us how to do the twist or encouraging us to dance like John Travolta, the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV's cameras were there to capture every move and every step. From ballet to ballroom and beyond, this is Dance at the Â鶹ÊÓƵAV.
