Last One Dancing Competition

The challenge is to predict the couple to leave Strictly Come Dancing each week and reach the final where you then need to pick the winner.

Update after Quarter Final Dance Off

This weekend the Dance Off was contested by 
• Dan Walker and Nadiya Bychkova
• AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington

AJ and Kai got the unanimous backing of the judges so Dan Walker and Nadiya Bychkova went out. 

Our Last One Dancing competition was won by Mulberry Lodge a couple of weeks ago but our Plate competition was still being contested by Robert North and Jean Nelson. This week Robert went for Dan Walker and Nadiya Bychkova and Jean went for Rhys Stephenson and Nancy Xu.

Rhys and Nancy went through to the next week while Robert correctly predicted that Dan and Nadiya would go out this week. 

Jean was runner up last year and this year in the Plate finds herself second again, bad luck!

Robert therefore picks up the two bottles of wine prize for winning the Plate, well done.

For your information the Strictly Come Dancing semi final will now be contested by
1. AJ Odudu and Kai Widdrington
2. John Whaite and Johannes Radebe
3. Rhys Stephenson and Nancy Xu
4. Rose Ayling-Ellis and Giovanni Pernice

Thank you all for your support for this competition. With donations Rotary should make £260 from this fun contest.

Update after Ninth Dance Off

This weekend the Dance Off was contested by 

* Rhys Stephenson and Nancy Xu
* Tilly Ramsay and Nikita Kuzmin
