Six films in which Chris Serle and Paul Heiney take it in turns to plunge in at the deep end and learn the hard way about a completely new world.
This week Chris Serle enters the elegant and sequinned world of competitive ballroom dancing. He admits to having two left feet and gave up dancing lessons in despair at the age of 14. Bravely Chris tries again. He tarantellas with Wayne Sleep , waltzes with Bill and Bobbie Irvine , rocks with Hot Gossip, gossips with Terry Wogan , and tries formation dancing with Peggy Spencer 's Latin Team.
The climax is the United Kingdom Ballroom Dancing Championships where Chris pits his paso doble against other would-be champions.
