The Real Strictly Come Dancing

Sparkles, sequins and loads of self-tan. We're behind the scenes at the real Strictly Come Dancing as the British National Dance Championships celebrate their 50th anniversary.

We follow three couples from practice to performance, and hopefully to the podium.

Professionals Petar Daskalov and Zia James are chasing the Latin trophy for a second year running.

Eleven-year-old partners Leo and Chloe, who have been dancing together for just a year, are hoping to shine in both Latin and Ballroom.

And after six attempts at the Amateur Ballroom Championships, Andrei Toader and Mia Linnik-Holden are back on the dance floor, hoping it's seventh time lucky.
