Angela Rippon, the oldest celebrity to ever compete on Strictly Come Dancing, has responded to critics who claim that she has only been given “slow dances” on the show. Rippon argues that dance is not just about being fast and running around the ballroom, but also about technique and precision. She points out that she has already performed the Quickstep and the Cha Cha Cha, and promises a fast and fun Charleston in the upcoming episode. Rippon’s previous dance experience and training as a classical ballet dancer have likely contributed to her success on the show.
