Since it hit the West End in April, Strictly Ballroom has been dazzling audiences with its eclectic range of dance styles, from tangos and to the pasodoble to ballroom.

The story centres on Scott Hastings, a professional dancer who is determined to go against the rules and slip moves that are banned by the dancing federation into his routine. Being such a rebel means it's difficult for him to find a dance partner, until he's approached by Fran, an amateur who says she'll perform with him.

We got the opportunity to speak to Jonny Labey and Zizi Strallen who play the two central roles, and co-dance captain Dale White about the dancing in Strictly Ballroom.

Strictly Ballroom is booking at the Piccadilly Theatre until 20th October. 

Strictly Ballroom tickets are available now.
