Week Seven of the 2020 series of Strictly was an especially musical affair... Yes, folks, it was Musicals Week - featuring some of the grandest melodies from popular shows, all set to the most incredible series of dance performances.

Here with Kevin to discuss the highlights, the surprises, and each dance in turn are returning guests, Strictly performer, Joanne Clifton and Burn The Floor star, Lauren Oakley!

KEY TAKEAWAYS
The best kinds of dances are ones that remove the element of safety, that dare to experiment, and which have the glamour, fun and excitement that gets people tuning in each week.
In Musicals Week, we are given a great responsibility - to celebrate the art of the musical itself whilst also attempting to put our own spin on some of the most famous numbers of all time.
Many viewers receive their dance education regarding ballroom and latin styles from Strictly itself. This has raised the profile of these styles, but it has also provided a slightly uneven education in what these styles actually encompass.
Props have been an integral part of dance and performance for the longest time. Many associate their use with TV variations, but they have been used for many generations.
Performance is all about authenticity. Despite what many think, sometimes dancers may employ more natural movements, such as walking, in order to achieve an effect. It's all part of creating the perfect performance.
