Clear the floor and whip out your score cards, because the Strictly Come Dancing The Live Tour is back for 2020 and will waltz its way around the country from January next year for 32 scintillating sequin-filled shows. 

Next year’s tour will also feature a special Relaxed Performance in association with the National Autistic Society at Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena on 5 February at 2pm.  Relaxed Performances are specially adapted to be accessible to a wide range of audiences, such as those with autism, learning disabilities or additional sensory needs. During a Relaxed Performance, the audience has the freedom to make noise and move about the arena as needed. Visitors who feel this performance might suit their specific needs - or the needs of their family members or companions - are encouraged to attend. For this performance, staff and volunteers from the National Autistic Society will be on hand, as well as the excellent staff at Motorpoint Arena, to ensure that everyone has a wonderful experience.  Tickets for this performance are now on sale exclusively through the venue box office.

The tour will star TV Judges Shirley Ballas, Craig Revel Horwood (who directs the live show for the 10th year) and Bruno Tonioli.  They will be joined by 2018 TV show winner Stacey Dooley who is hosting the 2020 tour.

Fans will be delighted to hear that Strictly favourite and 2018 TV show winner Stacey Dooley is returning to host the tour for the first time. Stacey will be joined on stage by a selection of celebrities and professional dancers from the much awaited 17th series of the award-winning BBC One show. Judging and casting announcements will be made over the coming months.

Arena audiences can expect to enjoy an unmissable evening of dance entertainment filled with colour, excitement and humour. Showcasing all the amazing choreography and live music that Strictly is known for, audiences will experience a host of breathtaking dance routines guaranteed to leave them reeling and roaring for more. Recreating the glitz, glamour and magic seen on the TV, this show is undoubtedly a must-see spectacle for fans and families up and down the country.

Audiences are not only invited to watch the spectacular stars as they perform roof-raising routines, but are also granted the power to decide who wins the coveted Glitterball Trophy at the end of each show. The tour judges will, as always, provide their feedback and scores after each performance, however the audience can vote via text for their favourite couple, and it is ultimately their votes that will decide who wins!
