Strictly Speaking: Part 3: Sparkling With Stacey

In the third part of a new mini-series entitled ’Strictly Speaking’, Kevin invites you into the conversation around some of the greatest dances, partners and moments throughout his Strictly Come Dancing journey!  This time, Kevin is joined by the partner with whom he shared his greatest success, both on-and-off the screen, BBC presenter Miss Stacey Dooley. Together they lifted the Strictly crown in 2018, but the journey was long and filled with unexpected surprises… In this week’s show, Kevin and Stacey discuss their first six weeks together on the show, and invite you to watch along by using the special links below!  KEY TAKEAWAYS Secrecy is the key to stimulating the viewers’ and the pro’s interest. No-one finds out who they’re partnered with until the very moment it’s revealed on air!  It takes several weeks to develop the trust and friendship that inspires true creativity in dance. Stacey and Kevin hit it off almost immediately, which led to some wonderful innovation early on.  The concepts behind the stories in Strictly dances have a sell-by date. By catching the zeitgeist you can add to the audience involvement, but if you miss it, it can send the wrong kind of message.  People watch Strictly to be entertained, not to see the most classic examples of dance. The memorable pairings are the ones who embrace that concept.  BEST MOMENTS ‘I was cheddar because I was the most common!’  ‘You said I looked like a car salesman walking you to the nearest car!’  ’No-one watches Strictly so that they can see people taking themselves seriously’  ‘I’ll sacrifice precision for fun!’  VALUABLE RESOURCES Week 1 - Quickstep - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssQMXa5Rf0U  Week 2 - Cha Cha Cha - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2jNT1NsAD0  Week 3 - Jive - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KABjoVp8JMw  Week 4 - Foxtrot - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeELaJfI2m8  Week 5 - Samba - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5yUEGFIRNwc  Week 6 - Tango - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGQCD6TG244  The Kevin Clifton Show - https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-kevin-clifton-show/id1475650764    ABOUT THE HOST   Kevin Clifton is a professional dancer who has been performing & competing at the highest level for over a decade.
