Strictly Come Dancing Week 9 has just taken place, and as ever, it was packed with emotion, invention and high drama! Join Kevin, Joanne, and the community, as they waltz you through a complete look at Musicals Week - the narrative opportunities that arise from performing in a selection of storytelling music numbers - as well as the highs and lows that made this such a memorable weekend. KEY TAKEAWAYS As the show continues with each successive week, the talents and skills of the celebrities begins to refine, and therefore the competition becomes harder to call. Musicals week is an even better opportunity for couples to engage in a dance narrative - a form of expressive storytelling - as most musical numbers tell their own story. As a viewer, we must see only the dance, and feel the way that it is meant to make us feel. If we are seeing the technique involved, then we are being taken out of the dance. Sometimes our feelings can be invalidated when we hear the judge's remarks following a performance. If a performance makes you feel a certain way, then it's okay to disagree if it doesn't strike a judge in the same way.
