The tour kicks off  at the Lowry Theatre in Salford on 3 May 2019. Pasha Kovalev who won in 2014 and has been a semi-finalist three times is joined by finalists Giovanni Pernice who made the final twice and Oti Mabuse who was a finalist two years ago.

Also performing will be last year’s semi-finalist AJ Pritchard, Australian Open Champion Dianne Buswell,  Two-time Ballroom and Latin World Champion Nadiya Bychkova and undefeated four-time British National Champion Neil Jones.



Strictly Come Dancing – The Professionals will play three performances at the Edinburgh Playhouse on Friday 10 and Saturday 11 May 2019. There will be two evening performances at 7.30pm and a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.

This is not the full-on Strictly tour with judges and celebrities which normally hits the tracks in January and February with the successful celebrity contestants.

However, the producers promise: “the incredible talent of these multi award-winning world-class dancers as they perform stunningly choreographed Ballroom and Latin routines in exquisite costumes, with all the glitz, glamour, sequins and sparkle of the TV show – live on stage!”
