Strictly The Professionals
Strictly: The Professionals strips back the celebrity element to spotlight the elite dancers themselves. Without celebrities, the focus is on high-level technique, choreographic challenges, ensemble work, duets and solos that push the form.
The 2026 UK tour features 11 top dancers from the show, touring theatres and mid-size venues. It’s a night designed for fans of dance to see the professionals at their purest, unadorned by the competitive narrative.

This production takes the core appeal of Strictly - the dancing - and foregrounds it. By removing celebrity pairings, The Professionals emphasises craft, precision, innovation and the synergy between dancers. Expect bold choreographic structures, changes of ensemble and more experimental moments than in the TV-derived spectacle.
Featuring eleven dancers from the current Strictly lineup, the show includes a live band, striking costumes and theatrical lighting. It’s built to tour theatres rather than arenas, bringing professional dance closer to local audiences and offering a refined, dance-first night out.
