An international sensation, Dragon's Den features entrepreneurs pitching for investment in the Den from our Dragons, five venture capitalists willing to invest their own money in exchange for equity.

The mat didn't teach any of the demo dancers how to dance. They all knew how to dance years before. All they did was ignore the numbers on the mat, and dance.

still, somewhere out there, right now, Rory is collecting seaweed.

Sarah Willingham always looks so happy to be there. Then she rips someone apart. A majestic dragon if you will.

[gibran]

Soon as people start dancing I’d declare myself out lol

[saltydegen]

Peter Jones: What makes your business worth £1, 500, 000?

Conman1: We chatted to a primary

As a dancer myself, I agree with the Dragons.
You don't have time to look down at the floor - you look straight ahead, usually in the mirrors ahead.
THEY show you how you're performing.

Touker: " ... I got confused."

This is the most honest moment in the show's history.

[GamerLoff]

Don’t be fooled... When Touker started talking about space, what he really was trying to get at was if the company needed some office space

[AshPPPPPPPP]

Peter was completely savage. I was born on a day, but that’s not yesterday 😂

The comments from the dragons is a great example why dragon's den is so much better than shark tank.

[mindymantle]

I'm crap at dancing, and I think this mat would make me even worse.

[royfr]

Always cringe when there is a demo. They think you can learn ballet by watching a mat??? They know nothing about dance, and judging from the guys belly I can see that dance is not his only passion.

[caifrootz]

Must have been awkward when they saw their dancers after the pitch lol.

[alexthehunted]

didn't twister make a dance version years ago?

[HiLaval]

I think if they rebranded it as some type of yoga exercise mat where combos of numbers equaled positions it MIGHT work. If your reading this I need 15 percent

[amandatropp]

I originally thought it was going to be an updated version of the arcade dance mats, which I think would be really fun for parties, etc. But as a dance teacher, this is awful. I would never use this or recommend this. Dance is a lot more than just replicating steps, you have to perform. And like the dragons said, you don't do that by looking down.

[MBULTRAHD]

So you're telling me that I can learn to spin on my head with one of those things? 😂

[globetrotter]

When the guy was spinning around and dancing he wasnt on any particular number. He was just dancing around on the mat randomly. Pointless bit of kit really

[simonh]

The dragons are so impatient, at that rate they only have to wait 750 years to break even.

[MrMarko]

They always get questioned why they value their company so highly by offering such low percentage, why does no one reply with; “well if you make me an offer everyone knows you’ll double or triple that percentage stake anyway so thought we’d go in low”..
