Strictly Come Dancing favourites Aljaž Škorjanec and Janette Manrara are set to return to the stage in spring 2026 with a brand new dance spectacular, Let’s Face The Music…and Dance!.
The 16-date UK tour will begin at The York Barbican on 18th April and conclude at Sheffield City Hall on 6th May, with a highlight performance at The London Palladium on 30th April.
Let’s Face The Music…and Dance! is a heartfelt tribute to the behind-the-scenes legends of music – the composers, songwriters and producers whose work has shaped generations. Audiences can expect a dazzling celebration of iconic scores and chart-topping hits.
Joining Aljaž and Janette on stage will be a cast of top UK dancers and live music from boogie woogie piano star Tom Seals and his Big Band. Tom previously wowed audiences on the duo’s sell-out 2025 tour A Night To Remember.
Janette Manrara said, “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. 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.”
Aljaž Škorjanec added, “Working with Tom Seals and his fantastic musicians last year was both a joy and a privilege. 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 to sharing our brand new show with everybody. So let’s celebrate this music and dance!”
The tour will visit cities including Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester, Bath, and Bournemouth, with a special matinee performance at Canterbury’s Marlowe Theatre.
