AS the BBC begins to reveal the celebrity line-up for the next series of Strictly Come Dancing, residents at Crandon Springs Care Home, in Wells, enjoyed their very own taste of ballroom glamour.
Experienced dancers Terry and Jenny Willie visited the home to present a wonderful dance showcase to the care home residents.
The Bristol-based husband-and-wife team, have been dancing together for an 47 years, and treated residents to a performance celebrating some of the most popular ballroom and Latin dance styles.
The couple's long-standing partnership, warmth, humour and enjoyment for dance shone through every performance with residents enjoying the upbeat and feel-good atmosphere, with plenty of swaying, clapping, singing along and even a little participation encouraged.

Residents also enjoyed hearing stories from Terry and Jenny’s days of competing at pre-championship level, which included mention of some of ballroom's most recognisable names including Shirley Ballas, Len Goodman and Anton du Beke; all familiar faces to fans of Strictly Come Dancing.
Resident Sheila, said: “I thoroughly enjoyed the show. It was great to see them doing what they do best, and we could tell they were enjoying the dancing as much as we were.”
Terry and Jenny have toured extensively and now share their love of dance through visits to care homes, proving that age is no barrier to enjoying something you love.
General Manager at Crandon Springs Care Home, Darius Ivana, said: "It was wonderful for our residents to experience the magic and glamour of ballroom dancing up close. Terry and Jenny brought not only skill and entertainment, but also warmth, humour and a genuine passion for what they do.
“The atmosphere in the room was fantastic, with residents singing along, clapping and joining in. It was one of those special afternoons that left everyone smiling.”
