BBC · 49 seasons · 1949–1998

The granddaddy of all dance TV — a BBC ballroom competition that ran for nearly 50 years before being rebooted as Strictly Come Dancing.

Come Dancing is a dance competition series on BBC showcasing International Standard. It's one of the ways these dances reach a wide audience — useful watching for anyone learning the style on a real floor.
