    Dance Britannia

    In case anybody missed it earlier this year, BBC 2 are reshowing the series "Dance Britannia" starting from next Saturday (6 September).

    It is a history of British Social Dancing in the 20th Century.

    Watched this programme when in it was on last and found it really interesting, a good social history documentary that follows partner dance, the rise of solo dancing including northern soul to the return to partner dancing. I seem to remember there was footage of the much lamented Hammersmith Palais (well for me anyway)

    Re: Dance Britannia

    Well EDC was...umm...interesting. Loved the Lithuania couple though, especially the 'floor turn' they did seemingly unaided

    As far as Dance Brittania is concerned.....***?! I've got a history of Rock 'n' Roll music or something, and certainly not the billed programme . Thanks BBC, I was really looking forward to watching DB

    Some of the dancing was interesting, I liked it. But as with anything Eurovision it was simply another opportunity to vote for your friends and neighbours, this time with a bit of dancing going on in the background.
