Advice

Audition advice


Anton Du Beke

As part of 2006's Ballroom Blitz on BBC One we travelled around the UK holding masterclasses and auditions for dance hopefuls who were given some hints and tips from Strictly Come Dancing's Anton Du Beke.

Hundreds took up the invite to face the music and dance, and we sent out cameras along to give you an insight into what goes on at a dance audition.

I've never done ballroom before so it was a matter of picking it up as I went along. At all the turns I ended up on the wrong side and everyone else was waltzing off down the room...

Edinburgh hopeful
I hadn't danced in a wee while but I'm really fit now and I came along to get a dance with Anton Du Beke.

BBC Radio Suffolk's Andrea Davidson tried impressing the judges at the Ipswich auditions. Listen to her report from the day or read the account here.
