In honour of the fact that I'm having serious Strictly Come Dancing withdrawal symptoms (I kid you not, I'm dancing around the house with no music...) I have decided I want to do a dance competition quest because it's cheaper, easier and less personally embarrassing than actually having ballroom/latin dance lessons.
I'm feeling a kinda Miss Congeniality vibe from the idea - stay in for as long as we can to prevent some horrible disaster. Perhaps even get into it and start actually trying to win, who knows. I'm thinking of going along the SCD line and having contestants paired up with professionals so we can do really mental lifts and stuff.
So, anyone want to join me?

I'm not sure I completely understand but that sounds fun

It's a very British show, this one. The idea is that 15 celebrities are paired up with professional dancers and perform a new and different dance each week in an X-Factor-style elimination competition. 4 judges score each of their dances out of 10, the best possible score being 40 and the worst being 4, and then the public votes for who they want to stay in the competition. The 2 pairs with the fewest combined points from the judges and public each do their dance again in the dance-off and the judges decide which pair to carry on to the next week. The remaining pair are eliminated and the rest set about learning the next week's dance. They do 2 in the semi-final and 3 in the final, but only 1 each week until then. The launch show includes a group dance, 3 weeks before the live shows, and about half-way through the series the contestants begin to take part in the opening number. All the dances are ballroom or latin, basically, but you get things like the jive as well. I now know the names of a painful number of dances, so if you need/want some ideas I've got loads in my head... (...Can you tell I'm a bit obsessed?...)

Yeah we've got dancing with the stars, I've never seen it but I understand the premise. I'm just not quite sure how it translates to here

I'm still working that out. I suppose we'd need to describe the dances and lifts and moves as and when we need to, but it would be more about catching the bad guys or whatever...

Maybe a dancer who's so obsessed with winning that he/she/it is killing off, injuring, or otherwise disabling other competitors or something?

That sounds good! Some people/creatures/whatever can take being competitive way too seriously...
I have a friend who's interested in joining the QA and likes the idea of this quest, so I'm not actually going to start it until I get confirmation from her on a couple of things
