Strictly - Ballroom - Hard

Create a fun and engaging Strictly Come Dancing and ballroom themed quiz for older adults using the danceSing platform. The purpose of the quiz is enjoyment, reminiscence, conversation, cognitive stimulation and encouraging people to feel excited about dance and music. Make the quiz joyful, inclusive and sophisticated. Never patronise older adults and do not make questions unnecessarily difficult. Create a varied mixture of questions covering Strictly Come Dancing, ballroom dancing, famous dancers, dance music, classic films, television memories and popular culture. Include questions from the following themes: Strictly Come Dancing history Famous Strictly presenters Strictly judges Well known professional dancers Memorable celebrity contestants The Glitterball Trophy Strictly at Blackpool Ballroom dance styles Latin dance styles The Waltz Foxtrot Tango Quickstep Viennese Waltz Cha Cha Cha Jive Samba Rumba Paso Doble Famous ballroom music Music from the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s Fred Astaire Ginger Rogers Classic Hollywood musicals Famous dancing scenes from film and television Dance terminology Music, rhythm and tempo Fun facts about dancing The physical and emotional wellbeing benefits of dancing Create questions that encourage reminiscence and conversation. Where appropriate, use questions that might prompt someone to say, I remember that song, I loved that film, or I used to dance to that. Use a mixture of easy and moderately challenging questions. Approximately 60 per cent of questions should be easy, 30 per cent medium and 10 per cent more challenging. Avoid obscure trivia that very few people would know. Avoid relying too heavily on very recent Strictly contestants. Include plenty of recognisable references from across the decades so that someone can enjoy the quiz even if they is not a regular Strictly viewer. Each question must have four possible answers, with only one correct answer. Make the incorrect answers believable enough to make the quiz interesting. After revealing the answer, provide one short and interesting fact or conversation starter. For example, after a question about Fred Astaire, add a short fact about his dancing career. After a music question, mention the decade or performer. After a ballroom question, include a simple fact about the dance. Keep explanations positive, conversational and concise. Use UK spelling throughout. Do not use hyphens or dashes anywhere. Do not include trick questions. Check every factual answer carefully before including it. The overall feeling should be: Strictly glamour Ballroom nostalgia Music and memories Fun Movement Conversation Connection Confidence Joy Finish the quiz with an uplifting message encouraging participants to try the danceSing Chair Ballroom resources and enjoy some ballroom movement themselves. Suggested final message: Fantastic dancing knowledge. Now it is your turn to take to the dance floor, from your chair. Head over to Chair Ballroom on danceSing, choose your favourite dance and enjoy the music, movement and Strictly sparkle.
