 Why are more children taking an interest in Latin and Ballroom dancing?
The number of pupils choosing to learn to dance has risen by 83% in four years and one-third of those are boys. The increasing interest and enthusiasm seems to have been influenced by BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing and two of the TV show’s stars, Darren Bennet and Lilia Kopylova are fronting a pilot scheme to bring ballroom and Latin dancing to schools. Some of their students will be dancing around the studio, while Darren and Lilia join Jane to discuss this dancing phenomenon with the pilot’s co-ordinator, Sue Cooper. Jane is also joined by Britain’s doyenne of ballroom dancing, Peggy Spencer.BBC Strictly Come Dancing
