The Welsh Ballroom Dancer
**Spoiler**
A few months ago, I blogged about Katherine Jenkins, a Welsh singer, who was on Dancing with the Stars. I blogged about it because she was in an episode of Doctor Who, and we all know how I feel about Doctor Who.
I watched a few episodes, and she was a naturally good dancer. Even though Katherine was relatively unknown here in the United States, she came in second! Not bad for a Welsh opera singer not many Americans had even heard of a few months ago.
She said about her experience, "It's just been brilliant." I love the way Brits use that word. Brilliant!
Sidenote: Benedick Cumberbatch (BBC's Sherlock) wished her luck. Yes, Sherlock Holmes was rooting for Katherine. *wink*

I told a kid at Subway the other day that the sandwich he made me was "brilliant." He and the other teenaged employees loved the word choice!
ReplyDeleteI also loved seeing Benedick Cumberbatch on Dancing with the Stars, of all places! I haven't been able to watch the second season of Sherlock, though -- blast PBS for not making it available online!
I love that you used "brilliant" at Subway. Brilliant!
DeleteI have the second season of Sherlock, so come on over!
ew Vogue is a style of sequence dance that was developed in Australia in the early 1960s. Its based on ballroom technique and uses a fast waltz, foxtrot, tango and march times. Its largely replaced English Old Tyme dancing in Australasian dancesport competitions.
