Beloved Strictly Come Dancing favorites Aljaž Škorjanec and Janette Manrara have sent fans into a frenzy with the announcement of their brand-new UK tour for spring 2026, titled Let’s Face The Music… And Dance!. The dynamic duo, known for their electrifying chemistry and world-class dance skills, promise an unforgettable spectacle that honors the legendary composers, songwriters, and producers who have shaped generations of music.

After the massive success of their 2025 sell-out tour A Night To Remember, which featured high-energy performances and live big band accompaniment, Aljaž and Janette are raising the bar even higher. This new production is described as a “love letter” to the behind-the-scenes geniuses whose timeless melodies inspire dancers worldwide. Expect a mesmerizing blend of ballroom elegance, Latin fire, and cinematic flair, set to an eclectic soundtrack spanning the Great American Songbook, iconic film scores, and modern pop anthems.

Joining the couple on stage will be boogie-woogie piano sensation Tom Seals and his Big Band, whose electrifying live music was a standout highlight of their previous tour. Aljaž has praised the collaboration, noting that dancing to live orchestration is unbeatable and directly inspired this new show. A talented ensemble of the UK’s top dancers will complete the cast, delivering breathtaking choreography that fuses classic styles with contemporary twists.

The tour kicks off on April 18, 2026, at York’s Barbican Theatre and runs through May 6, wrapping up at Sheffield City Hall. Highlights include a prestigious stop at the iconic London Palladium on April 30, alongside dates in Blackpool, Edinburgh, and other major venues across the UK. With 16 shows in total, fans won’t want to miss this limited run.

Aljaž and Janette’s real-life romance adds an extra layer of magic to their performances. The couple, married since 2017 and parents to daughter Lyra, have captivated audiences since meeting on a global dance tour years ago. Both rose to fame on Strictly Come Dancing—Aljaž as a champion pro who returned triumphantly after a hiatus, and Janette as a fan-favorite dancer turned beloved host of It Takes Two. Their joint tours have become must-see events, blending professional prowess with genuine warmth and humor.

This production stands out for its thematic depth, celebrating icons like George Gershwin, Burt Bacharach, Irving Berlin, Quincy Jones, David Foster, and Hans Zimmer. From sweeping orchestral pieces to upbeat chart-toppers, the music will come alive through innovative routines that evoke emotion and excitement. Audiences can anticipate glittering costumes, dramatic lighting, and those signature lifts that leave jaws on the floor.

Tickets went on general sale November 7, 2025, following venue presales, and demand is skyrocketing. For Strictly enthusiasts craving live dance magic beyond the TV screen, Let’s Face The Music… And Dance! promises to be the ultimate feel-good experience of 2026. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to their sparkle, this tour is set to remind everyone why Aljaž and Janette remain dance royalty. Get ready to face the music—and dance like nobody’s watching!
