James Jordan (dancer)

James Jordan (born 1978) is an English ballroom dancer.

He started dancing quite late, at age 13, and now dances with his wife, Aleksandra 'Ola' Jordan (nee Grabowska). Aleksandra previously danced with Przemek Lowicki in Poland, while James and Aleksandra's first recorded dance as a partnership was in the Dutch Open in 2000. In May 2006, the couple came second in the Blackpool Professional Rising Stars Latin event, and in November they came third in the British Championships for Professional Latin.

Both he and Ola took part in the BBC's "Strictly Come Dancing" during the show's fourth series, partnering Georgina Bouzova and Spoony respectively. Aleksandra and Spoony were the third pair to be voted off, with James and Georgina exiting the following week. In series five, he danced with TV presenter Gabby Logan, while Ola partnered Gabby's husband, Scottish rugby union footballer Kenny Logan - the first time two married couples had competed against each other. Gabby and James were voted out in Week 4 of the competition. Kenny and Ola were voted out in Week 9 (and ended up in 5th place.)

In the sixth series of Strictly Come Dancing, James is dancing with Cherie Lunghi, while Ola's partner is the GMTV presenter Andrew Castle.
