What We Think

Strictly Come Dancing still leans into tradition, glitz, and old-school entertainment, with only a modest dusting of modern “woke” elements appearing in recent years. Nothing narrative-breaking, just the occasional nod towards inclusivity.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Strictly Come Dancing is a dance competition focused mainly on talent and audience appeal, not pushing storylines or overt ideology. While recent years have seen more diverse cast choices, merit and entertainment remain central, so the narrative remains largely intact.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show generally celebrates tradition, especially around ballroom dance, gendered dance roles, and family-friendly presentation. Lately, same-sex pairings have appeared, which some might see as gently challenging tradition, but overall the core cultural structure hasn’t been deconstructed.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

There is increasing emphasis on inclusivity and positivity toward diverse identities, but there isn’t a total blackout on traditional viewpoints. It hasn’t reached full-blown ideological monoculture territory, though the direction is trending a bit more in that lane lately.
