The origins of "Strictly Dancing" was Ballroom Dancing ! It has now become something else than "just dancing" !
Can you imagine going to a normal dance, a "hop" at a university dance or a Saturday evening dance at a social club in your community, and then having to perform accrobatic "flips" when "half dressed" to impress your partner ?
Going to a Dance used to be a way to meet potential partners for life. It still is in fact ! It was never seen as an opportunity to impress partners with athletic abilities ! Older people can dance in a way which would surprise many a younger debutant !
"Strictly Dancing" Competitions should be renamed and organised as qualification Competitions for getting to the Olympic Games !
