Strictly Speaking, is it Sport? Who Cares? Come Dancing Proves Great Competition

As this year’s Strictly Come Dancing season progressed, so it became quite a family ritual, a weekly treat that we let the kids stay up for. If nothing else I enjoyed watching my five-year-old daughter (and if truth be told my two-year-old son) create their own interpretation in front of the screen. You see I’m neither a huge dance fan nor a celebrity watcher, but the sport psychologist in me was drawn in by the skill, commitment, drama and the genuine excellence shown as the competition developed in the final rounds. I have to admit that on these criteria 'Strictly' matched just about any sporting event that I’d seen in some time.
