If you cannot type directly onto the form then print it out and either scan or take a photo of it. If you have any questions regarding your ability to join in please get in touch with me. FitSteps was created by Ian Waite and Natalie Lowe of ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ fame, together with ex ‘Strictly’ contestant and swimmer Mark Foster.

As we go through the steps I will often give options of how to achieve them and you can choose whichever suits your needs and abilities. Please do take care, especially if you are new to fitness or have any reduced mobility or health conditions. I cannot be in the room with you, so it is your responsibility to ensure you keep within your own abilities and the space around you is clear and safe. Ensure you stay hydrated, drink between dances and any time you feel you need to. If you feel light-headed or the need to take a break then do so, you know what is best for you.

An Investigation Into Audiences' Televisual Experience of Strictly
An investigation into audiences’ televisual experience of Strictly Come Dancing Karen Wood University of Manchester, UK Volume 7, Issue 2 (November 2010) Abstract This paper explores ten participants’ viewing experience of Strictly Come Dancing (BBC, 2009b) through personal, reflective diary writing. The main aim of the research was to investigate the concept of kinesthetic empathy and to see how this central concern in dance spectatorship might be theorised in relation to the active/passive debate in media audience research. Viewers’ motivation and commitment in how they watch Strictly will be explored to try and understand the range of viewing strategies adopted. From the research, areas that have been highlighted for particular attention are spectacle, emotional connection, admiration of skill and aspiration to dance. The conclusion will draw together discussion of moments of passivity, kinesthetic experience and active or passive engagement in relation to the concept of intuitive spectatorship. Keywords: Kinesthetic, empathy, active, passive, spectatorship, commitment, engagement The research presented in this paper is part of a wider project investigating kinesthetic empathy and screen dance audiences. The concept of kinesthetic empathy provides a framework to explore spectator responses to dance on screen, whether in terms of experimental dance film or popular dance on television. The aim of the research for this paper was to investigate the ‘why’ and ‘how’ of ten participants’ interaction with Strictly Come Dancing (including my own interaction as a self-confessed fan) and what motivates the viewing. The objective of this paper is to interweave debates in media audience research on Page 262 Volume 7, Issue 2 November 2010 active or passive spectatorship with those from dance scholarly discourse on kinesthesia with the ambition of reaching a refined understanding of spectatorship of dance on screen.

Such common conceptions of endings, this thesis argues, are largely incompatible with the realities of television’s production and reception, and as a result the study of endings in television needs to be re-thought to pay attention to the specificities of the medium.

As explained on the Voting Figures section of the Strictly Come Dancing website. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/strictlycomedancing/about/faq.shtml), this is not the type of information we would provide voluntarily, outside the scope of the Act, as releasing voting figures could affect the way that people vote, and also have an impact on the participants. This type of information you have requested is excluded from the Act because it is held for the purposes of ‘journalism, art or literature.’ Part VI of Schedule 1 to FOIA provides that information held by the BBC and the other public service broadcasters is only covered by the Act if it is held for ‘purposes other than those of journalism, art or literature”. The BBC is not required to supply information held for the purposes of creating the BBC’s output or information that supports and is closely associated with these creative activities.1 1 For more information about how the Act applies to the BBC please see the enclosure which follows this letter.
