Five professional dancers from Strictly Come Dancing reunite for the new show “Legends of the Dance Floor”.

The 18-week UK tour will see Brendan Cole, James Jordan, Pasha Kovalev, Vincent Simone and Ian Waite take to the stage in October this year for “a nostalgic celebration of Latin dancing, ballroom dancing, tango, rumba and so much more”.

The five dancers have all performed on the popular dance competition and headlined their solo shows over the years, but have never performed together on stage before, making this a once in a lifetime opportunity for Strictly fans.

“We are going to produce something very special and unique,” Brendan said in a statement. “I am really excited to see what we produce on stage because I know it will be something truly magical.”

“On this tour you will meet five amazing characters, each bringing their own twist, coming together to create an epic show for you!” said James.

Pasha added: “This show is for anyone who loves to dance! We’re going back to our roots, back to traditional ballroom dancing and Latin dancing, and it’s going to be so much fun on stage!”

The dancers will show off their moves alongside a supporting cast and Vincent says: “There will be lots of glamour and lots of passion! There will be so much talent on one stage, not just from the five of us but also from our amazing cast!”
