Organised by Nuneaton Dance School, the 'Strictly Learn To Dance' event returned for its second year in 2012. Held at Bedworth Civic Hall, 12 couples took to the floor after just 12 weeks of training in front of more than 600 guests. In aid of the Mary Ann Evans Hospice, more than £16,000 was raised on the night. Judging with me was author Rosie Goodwin and internationally renouned dance instructor Julie Earnshaw.
