I have been a fan of Strictly Come Dancing since the first series in 2004 so I jumped at the chance to review this show, and what a show it was…it was fantastic!
The Legends in question were Brendan Cole, James Jordan, Pasha Kovalev, Vincent Simone and Ian Waite all dancers with lots of experience and talent. We found out bits about their time on Strictly, who was their favourite partner and judge and they talked about winning the glitterball or not as the case might be! Also, they talked on how the television show had changed over the years. We got to see some of their favourite dances including the Waltz, Samba, Paso Doble, Rhumba and Argentine tango. The group numbers were brilliantly choreographed, it was difficult to know where to look as the whole stage had something going on. The legends had brilliant dance partners Lowri Beth, Alexandra Busheva, Julia Ruiz Fernandez, Polina Mayer and Dance Captain Victoria Martin, all of them were very talented dancers
From beginning to end there was banter between them all, they obviously got on really well, they were really funny especially the bits that were off script!
And were this brilliant group of dancers Legends? Oh absolutely, they were stars in Strictly and are even more so now. They announced that a different show was coming out next year but there are still a few dates left on this tour, if you want a brilliant night out and to watch some first-class entertainment this is the show for you, miss it at your peril, I don’t think that you will be disappointed! Oh, and a television programme starring the Strictly Legends…Yes Please!
