Janette Manrara and Aljaz Skorjanec, renowned dancers and television personalities, have announced an exciting new tour set to commence in 2025. The couple, both known for their involvement in the popular British dance television series ‘Strictly Come Dancing‘, will perform across 15 dates throughout the UK.
Announcing the news of their upcoming show, aptly titled ‘A Night To Remember‘, the pair expressed their enthusiasm for captivating audiences with a mix of classic and contemporary music. They will dance to tunes from the “great American songbook” blended with modern hits, all synchronised with their own live big band accompaniment.
Skorjanec, 34, expressed his excitement about the tour, stating, “As if my return to Strictly wasn’t exciting enough, for Janette and I to be looking forward to our biggest tour next year makes us feel like the luckiest dancers in the world.” He highlighted the joy of performing in front of a live band, a feature that aligns with the exhilarating experiences seen on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’.
Janette Manrara, 40, mirrored this excitement by adding, “It truly is going to be a memorable show, and we are so happy to have the phenomenal Tom Seals and his big band bringing their off-the-scale energy to the stage for us to dance to every night.”
The tour is scheduled to kick off in Bath on May 17, 2025, and conclude in St Albans on June 6, with other notable performances including a date at Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall on May 31 and a gala event at the London Palladium on May 21. Fans can purchase tickets starting from October 11.
Beside their tour announcement, Aljaz has been actively involved in ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ series 22, partnering with ‘Love Island‘ star Tasha Ghouri. The couple has been impressing both judges and the viewing audience, with bookmakers naming them as strong contenders for this season’s title.
Meanwhile, Janette continues to co-host the ‘Strictly’ spin-off program ‘It Takes Two’ alongside Fleur East. Her return to the show follows her parenting journey, having welcomed her first child last year.
The dancing duo shared their tour announcement on social media, receiving notable support from fellow dancer Gemma Atkinson, who partnered with Aljaz in a previous season of ‘Strictly’.
