Strictly Come Dancing’s superstar professional dancers, 2024 winner Dianne Buswell and 2024 runner up Vito Coppola bring their brand-new stage show Red Hot and Ready to the Cliffs Pavilion in June.
Created by Jason Gilkison, Red Hot and Ready will dance its way to Southend on Tuesday 24 and Wednesday 25 June. The tour is presented by international dance phenomenon Burn the Floor, as the company makes a welcome return to the UK as part of its 25th anniversary celebrations.
A dynamic new dance show-with-a-difference, Red Hot and Ready builds on the acclaimed performance legacy created by Burn the Floor over more than two decades. The show brings together Strictly Come Dancing professionals Dianne and Vito, with their incredible ability to deliver show-stopping performances, and a cast of multi-disciplined Burn the Floor dancers from around the world who are nothing short of spectacular, as well as sensational vocalists and live band.
Red Hot and Ready will be the ultimate high-voltage dance extravaganza, exploding with jaw-dropping choreography, heart-pounding music and breath-taking moves, from seriously sexy to irresistibly charming, and celebrating the pure joy of dance.
A former Australian Open champion and four-time Amateur Australian Open finalist, Dianne Buswell has been a two-time finalist during her seven years with Strictly Come Dancing and won the show’s coveted Glitter Ball Trophy with partner Chris McCausland in 2024. Dianne is hugely popular thanks to her fun, quirky personality and dynamic dance style, not to mention her flaming red locks!
Italian-born Vito Coppola has a stellar record as a professional dancer and began dancing at the age of seven and is a three-time World Championship finalist and a European Cup Winner. A Strictly winner in 2023 and runner up in 2024, Vito Coppola has become a firm favourite with audiences in his two years with Strictly, renowned for his outstanding talent as well as his cheeky sense of humour.
Dianne added “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.”
And Vito said “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.”
