Strictly 25 Step Dance Challenge

We’re so excited that our friends at Strictly Come Dancing are stepping up with a fabulous challenge as part of our “Challenge Yourself to 25” fundraising campaign!

Strictly pros Luba, Michelle, Nancy and Neil have created a brand new cha cha cha routine to ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ especially for BBC Children in Need. Once you’ve finished, you’ll have learned a 25-move routine to perform in front of your class or school!

Are you ready to take on the cha-cha-challenge? Get your dancing shoes on, get warmed up and prepare to move like a pro. It’s a 10 from us! 

QUICK STEPS TO GET INVOLVED WITH THE STRICTLY 25 STEP DANCE CHALLENGE:

  • Watch a short video below each day for 5 days, presented by Neil, Nancy, Michelle and Luba! 
  • Learn five dazzling dance moves per video 
  • Put the moves together at the end for a routine worthy of the Glitterball!

Why not take this on as a sponsored activity to raise money for BBC Children in Need – and set up your very own panel of judges to make it a contest? 

Kick start your Strictly 25 Step Dance Challenge by learning the first 5 steps with Nancy and Michelle!

Ready to learn your next 5 steps? Neil and Luba are here to teach the next part of the routine!
