Dance expert on how Strictly's blind contestant Chris McCausland rehearses routines
Briefly

Rashmi Becker stated, 'To those of us with sight, we learn visually, and we pick up visual cues. So to be able to do the tricks and stunts he did requires a really good understanding of timing and rhythm and understanding that movement and connection with his partner.'
Becker noted, 'The final performance is the result of careful description of how he should move, and how steps and movements should feel in the body, followed by repetition to build up muscle memory.'
According to Becker, 'On the night, he would probably be listening even more closely to the music than a sighted person, as any missed steps would be harder to catch up on without being able to see his partner.'
