Strictly Come Dancing’s Aljaž Škorjanec and Janette Manrara make exciting joint announcement

Strictly Come Dancing stars Aljaž Škorjanec and Janette Manrara have made an exciting joint announcement. If you’ve ever wanted to see the pair dance together, then you can’t miss this!

The couple will take to the stage in 2026 for Let’s Face The Music…and Dance!, a brand new show which serves as an “evocative tribute [to] the composers, songwriters and record producers whose artistry behind the scenes has transcended generations.”

They will be joined by Tom Seals and his Big Band, who appeared on their previous tour, A Night to Remember. The new show will see the pair dance to the “soundtrack of our lives”, ranging from “chart-topping pop anthems to the stage and screen’s iconic scores”.

“Working with Tom Seals and his fantastic musicians last year was both a joy and a privilege,” said Aljaž in a statement. “You simply can’t beat dancing to incredible live music.

“In fact, Tom’s impact on last year’s tour played a huge role in inspiring Let’s Face The Music…and Dance! It was such a pleasure, and we are very much looking [forward] to sharing our brand new show with everybody. So let’s celebrate this music and dance!”

“Let’s Face The Music…and Dance! is a love letter to all the behind-the-scenes songwriters, film composers and record producers, whose timeless melodies and unforgettable lyrics provide never-ending inspiration for dancers across the world,” added Janette.

“From David Foster, Quincy Jones, George Gershwin, Burt Bacharach, Irving Berlin, Hans Zimmer and so many more, Aljaž and I can’t wait to celebrate their creative genius in what we truly believe will be our best show yet.”

The tour will begin at York’s Barbican Theatre on 18 April 2026, stopping off in several major venues across the UK before concluding at Sheffield’s City Hall on 6 May 2026. Tickets are available here, with the full tour listed below:
