Strictly Dance Fever is 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 had two extra shows, The Saturday night BBC Three host was Zoe Ball and the nightly BBC3 roundup & fanzine program was hosted by Joe Mace. 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, How Do You Solve a Problem Like Maria?.

The maximum score for one dance, 40 points, has been achieved seven times throughout the series. Danny Last and Jodie Binstead (series 1 twice), Joseph Hall and Sadie Flower (series 1 once), Darren Bailey and Lana Williams (series 2 once) and then to Darrien Wright and Hollie Robertson (series 2 three times). Additionally, in the semi-final of series 2 Darren Bailey and Lana Williams were awarded a perfect 30 out of 30, when Stacey Haynes was ill. The lowest score achieved was 12, by Paul James Culshaw and Aravon McCann (series 2 once).
