It was a privilege to be part of this wonderful competition, first as a competitor for so many years and now as an adjudicator. As I stood on the side of the floor watching the first heat of the first round walk out onto the floor, the feelings of once upon a time came back and I had a smile to myself. Then the game face came and down to business I went.
In the first rounds there were couples that stood out but many that seem to have spent too much time on YouTube trying to emulate their heroes and not enough time in the studio perfecting themselves to stand out from the crowd.
