Previously Posted: Dance to the Music, featuring BBC TV’s Strictly Come Dancing‘s band, will visit London Indigo2 on Wednesday, June 6, 2012, as part of a UK tour.

Joining the Stricly band will be former Strictly Champion Kara Tointon, Artem Chigvintsev, Kristina Rhiannoff and Robin Windsor.

The tour will mark the first time that the entire fifteen-piece Strictly Come Dancing band, led by musical director Dave Arch, have performed together live away from the Strictly studio.

Dance To The Music will also reunite Kara Tointon and Artem Chigvintsev once more on the dance floor as they perform some of their favourite dances from Strictly as well as brand new routines in an intimate theatre setting – allowing audiences to get closer to the action than ever before.

Dance To The Music will bring the Strictly band and singers into the spotlight for their own unique performances as well as giving the couples another chance to dance to a selection of show-stopping classic and modern tunes.

The audience will be taken on a lively journey through dances ranging from an American Smooth to a Viennese Waltz – with some surprises along the way.

The tour will visit 23 cities and towns including Ipswich, York, London, Aberdeen, Plymouth, Swindon and Bournemouth.

Dance To The Music is presented by James Grant Live and BBC Worldwide.

Tickets: £45/£35/£28.50/£19.50 – available to buy online at www.gigsandtours.com or www.ticketmaster.co.uk. For London Indigo2, tickets are also available on 0844 844 0002.
