The pair, the 2024 winner and runner-up respectively, will be showcasing their talent in the new stage production, 'Red Hot and Ready'. The show will tour 30 UK venues, including Wycombe Swan theatre on June 20 and 21. 'Red Hot and Ready', created by Jason Gilkison, will be part of the 25th anniversary celebrations for international dance company Burn the Floor.
The show promises to be a 'high-voltage dance extravaganza', featuring a cast of globally sourced dancers, vocalists, and a live band. Dianne Buswell, a two-time 'Strictly Come Dancing' finalist, is known for her 'dynamic dance style' and 'flaming red locks'. Her partner in the show, Vito Coppola, is a fan favourite for his 'outstanding talent' and 'cheeky sense of humour'.
Ms Buswell said: "I am truly excited to be going on tour with our magnificent new show with the most phenomenal partner Vito, and to sharing the love and the energy as we dance for you." Mr Coppola added: "I can't wait to be on tour with the amazing, beautiful, vibrant Dianne Buswell. "It’s going to be Red, it’s going to be Hot, and we are going to be super Ready and bring to you so much joy and smiles and happiness.
" Internationally renowned choreographer Jason Gilkison has returned to Burn the Floor to create this new show, having not done so for 10 years. He said: "I am feeling blessed to be coming home to Burn the Floor and creating a new show for the first time in 10 years. "To have Dianne and Vito leading this dynamic cast really guarantees an unforgettable experience for our audience.
" The show is seen as a continuation of the 'acclaimed performance legacy' of Burn the Floor, which has been active for more than 25 years. Tickets for the show, which is set to feature 'jaw-dropping choreography, heart-pounding music, and breathtaking moves', are on sale now. The show will begin its tour at Theatre Severn in Shrewsbury on June 11 and conclude at the Congress Theatre in Eastbourne on July 26.
Other theatres they will visit in the UK include the Shaftesbury Theatre in London on June 22, the Symphony Hall in Birmingham on July 4, and the Barbican in York on July 6. Details of the full tour can be found on the Burn the Floor website..
