With the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour being announced in late September, fans have been eagerly awaiting more news about the Professionals show.
Not to confuse the two Strictly Come Dancing shows, the Live Tour features celebrities and professionals from the current season, whereas The Professionals includes 10 of the BBC One show’s professional dancers.
Coming to the UK next spring, Strictly Come Dancing: The Professionals promises plenty of glitz and glamour, with stellar choreography from your favourite professional dancers.
This year, the line-up includes: Dianne Buswell, Vito Coppola, Carlos Gu, Karen Hauer, Neil Jones, Nikita Kuzmin, Gorka Marquez, Luba Mushtuk, Jowita Przystal, and Nancy Xu.
Fans of Strictly Come Dancing will already be well aware that these professionals know how to move, but without the amateur celebrities making a couple of (understandable) mistakes, you can expect dancing and choreography of the highest standard.
With 11-time Italian Latin American Champion Vito Coppola, eight-time British National Champion Neil Jones, Professional World Mambo Champion and 2020 Strictly finalist Karen Hauer, and seven more award-winning dancers, there won’t be any stiff shoulders or dragging feet here!
Strictly Come Dancing: The Professionals is directed by the show’s creative director Jason Gilkison. Speaking about the fab-u-lous tour, Jason said: “It is fantastic to unveil this stellar line-up of much-loved Strictly professional dancers for next year’s tour. We will be dazzling audiences across the country with dance and choreography at the highest possible standard.
“To see these dancers coming together to perform on this scale is a joy for me as a director, and Strictly fans are in for a real treat.”
