Dancing In The Dark by Dave Gardiner

Dancing in the Dark provides a visual representation of every ‘10’ awarded on the television show Strictly Come Dancing, since the first show in 2004. The top score has been awarded on 589 occasions in total, and this graphic breaks the results down by Judge, Dance, Professional Dancer and Series. The visualisation highlights that top marks have been far more common in recent series, although Craig Revel Horwood remains the strictest judge. It also shows that the Charleston appears to be the easiest dance to score a ‘10’ with, whilst the Rumba is the most difficult.
