Strictly Come Dancing star Aljaž coming to Blackpool with brand-new show ‘Let’s Face The Music And Dance!’

Arriving at the Blackpool Opera House on May 5, the pair say they are looking forward to an evening of ‘elegance, energy, and world-class performance’ in one of the UK’s most iconic entertainment venues.

A vibrant tribute to the legendary composers, songwriters and producers whose music has shaped generations, the performance will take audiences on a journey through timeless classics, from the Great American Songbook to modern chart hits, all brought to life through choreography and a full live big band led by Tom Seals.

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, best known for winning Strictly Come Dancing in 2013, has become a fan favourite thanks to his charismatic style and technical brilliance. Alongside Janette, he continues to captivate audiences nationwide.

Aljaž said: "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!”
