All you need to know about the new Strictly pro. <\/p>
Everything is slotting into place for the latest series of Strictly Come Dancing. We know who the Strictly 2021 contestants<\/a> are and we know that 4 new dancers have joined the Strictly line-up<\/a> with an eye on the Glitterball trophy this year \u2013 we also know that the show will not be returning to Blackpool again for 2021.<\/p>\n Other changes include Anton being a judge full-time so we have a lot of change on our hands this year. One of the new dancers who is a part of that change is Nikita Kuzmin and while he may be new to the Strictly ballroom, he has proven many times that he needs no help with honing his dancing skills.<\/p>\n Here is all you need to know about Nikita Kuzmin.<\/p>\n A post shared by NIKITA (@nikita__kuzmin)<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/blockquote> Age:<\/strong> 23<\/p>\n Instagram:<\/strong> nikita_kuzmin<\/a><\/p>\n Nikita certainly knows his way around the dance floor having been on Germany\u2019s Let\u2019s Dance and he is a six-time Latin and Ballroom National Champion in Italy \u2013 so he should know all the right moves to teach whichever celebrity he ends up getting paired up with.<\/p>\n He was born in Ukraine and moved to Italy at the age of 9 \u2013 he began dancing at the young age of four so he was clearly always destined to do it. And, fun fact, dancing must be in the genes as his sister does it too as a professional dancer on Italy\u2019s Dancing With The Stars.<\/p> The lure of Strictly is something that Nikita has been aware of for a long time and while he has long been a fan, he seems extremely excited to be a part of the action himself for 2021.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ve always been amazed by the magic Strictly Come Dancing brings. No matter what country I have found myself living in, I\u2019ve never missed a chance to watch it. And joining it as a professional dancer is my big chance to make some magic on the most famous dance floor. I can\u2019t wait to give it my all!\u201d<\/p>\n Strictly Come Dancing will return to BBC later this year.
