Directed by Strictly’s Creative Director Jason Gilkison, the show promises to ‘showcase the exceptional talent’ of the twelve professionals. Each show will see them perform to live music from incredible singers and the Strictly band.
“The 2023 Tour was spectacular,” Jason said. “We really pushed the boundaries with the choreography and as a result the show was phenomenal. We want to push that even further for 2024, with more dancers than ever before.
“Audiences will be blown away by the skills of our Pros, as individuals and as a breath-taking ensemble. The entertainment factor will be off the scale. I can’t wait to see you in May!”
