Kevin talks to Strictly Come Dancing professional and champion, and 19-time Slovenian champion in Ballroom, Latin and Ten Dance, Mr Aljaz Skorjanec - one of the most popular of all Strictly pros, about the ways in which has conquered lockdown, his upcoming projects, his incredible performance journey so far, and the passion for dance that has driven him onwards.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Lockdown has granted us the perspective to see what is important, and a re-evaluation of the things we hold dear. This is especially true for dancers and performers.
• It's always wise to stop once in a while and connect with the things that bring us joy. For Aljaz, the simple act of online gaming and reminiscing with friends has caused him to remember what life is all about.
• Life is full of magical opportunities, especially for performers, who are able to travel to wonderful places, and take on personas otherwise not available.
• Some days, the art of dancing can be tough. Rehearsals can seem insurmountable, and the choreography isn't working. But true dancers, who have the passion in the ri blood, will push through because they know the rewards are life-enhancing.
