Strictly is back on our screens tonight!! 🪩✨

To celebrate, let’s throwback to 2022 with and dancing this fabulous Samba! 💃🏽

This is one of the best dances in the history of the show. The combination of basic figures and advanced steps made for a technical and performance masterpiece unlike I’ve ever seen before: an excellent top line, fantastic body rhythms, clear timings, great footwork, super body isolating and an overall polished and confident performance. ♥️

When all the core components of the dance are performed to such a high standard, you deserve to feel nothing but confidence in the routine. 🖤

A brilliant Teacher/Student duo
We will miss you Fleur!

The Imposter Syndrome confession.

Even after the titles, Oskar admits he still battles the feeling that he doesn’t belong in the room. A reminder that imposter syndrome doesn’t disappear with success, it just gets quieter.

We need electrical scooters !🛴💨

When competition floors get too large, judges physically cannot see the numbers on the far side within 90 seconds. A funny but real problem with how events are run… and an outside of the box solution from Oskar !🤣✨

Listen/watch the full episode on YouTube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

How far would you go for the thing you love?

Before the titles, the judging panels, and Black in the Ballroom, Oskar Odiakosa was a kid taking two buses to class, saving lunch money for lessons, and finding his own way into a world that didn’t always make space for him.

This teaser is a glimpse into a conversation about ambition, belonging, identity, originality, and where DanceSport is heading next.

And for the first time on Break The Routine, we’ve split an episode into 2 parts.

Part 1 is out now and Part 2 drops next week.

Some conversations are too good to fit into one episode.
