Product Description

Following the success of the 2008 Annual, this brand-new fabulous guide will push your dancing know-how that one step further with more shakers, showstoppers and sequins than ever before. It will appeal to die-hard fans and families alike as a glitzy companion to an ever-growing TV brand phenomenon. This year's annual has a dazzling array of original features, including exclusive interviews with the 2007 celebrities, plus profiles of the other stars of the show - the professional dancers. We'll look back on Alesha Dixon's journey to victory, and we'll go behind the scenes to see what went on at the Strictly Live Tour.We'll be showing you some new Dancersize moves to keep you fit, and we'll cast a critical eye over series 5 to find the best hairstyles, the biggest arguments and the most beautiful outfits. And this time we'll also look into the history of the show, with a special report on Come Dancing and how this completely outdated format was miraculously re-invented to become the TV entertainment phenomenon of the decade. There'll also be quizzes, stats and never-before-seen photos of tears, tantrums and triumphs, a fun 'Be Your Own Judge' score sheet, a useful guide to dance schools around the country and much, much more.

Review
'STRICTLY COME DANCING: THE OFFICIAL ANNUAL 2009 already has the whiff of a classic about it, not least because it features a whole chapter on John Sergeant.'

A Stictly Girls Christmas Wish
Bright, Glossy with gossipy text and great photography. Flavia demonstrates many of the dances so you can have a go yourself. There is a quiz and judging page for you to mark. This is the perfect Christmas gift for my 9 year old grandaughter....... and I can see the whole family pressed into taking part on Christmas day!

DANCING DELIGHTS
"Strictly Come Dancing" Annual 2009
HAVING WATCHED THE SERIES I HAD A GOOD IDEA WHAT THE BOOK CONTAINED AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED AS IT VIVIDLY BROUGHT BACK THE REALY SUPERB FIRST CLASS DANCING OF THE AMATEUR CONTESTANTS WITH ALL THE UPS AND DOWNS AND FRUSTRATION WHICH OCCURED DURING THE ENTIRE SERIES WHICH CULMINATED IN THE CLIMAX OF THE FINAL NIGHT AND FOR ME THE DANCING COULD NOT HAVE BEEN BETTER AND THE CONTESTANTS MORE COURTEOUS AND FRIENDLY WITH FANTASTIC COSTUMES. THE BOOK BROUGHT IT ALL BACK SUPERBLY.

Good product slow delivery
This product never arrived in time for Christmas and it was a long and involved process to get it finally delivered.

It happens.
