"Strictly Dance Fever" was a British television programme, broadcast on BBC One on Saturday evenings. It was an amateur dance talent competition, hosted by Graham Norton, which ran during Spring 2005 and Spring 2006. It was, in many ways, similar to the BBC's popular "Strictly Come Dancing", a celebrity based dance contest also broadcast on Saturday evenings. On 12 December 2006, the BBC announced that "Strictly Dance Fever" had been axed in favour of the Andrew Lloyd Webber talent search, "Any Dream Will Do".
