There was a fantastic response on Twitter last night to the first episode of Big Ballet. The programme, fronted by Wayne Sleep, clearly struck a chord with viewers and had many admitting to dancing round their living rooms and looking for local ballet classes.

There were over 5,500 tweets around broadcast, according to analytics from Second Sync. If you missed it, you can see what all the fuss was about on 4oD.

Love #bigballet! Not afraid to admit to an occasional pirouette around the kitchen. When the blinds are down obvs! #onceadanceralwaysadancer
