The first trailer for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing gives viewers a fresh glimpse at what Strictly has in store when it returns to BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Saturday 20 September.
The 30-second clip sees Strictly’s Professional Dancers and Head Judge Shirley Ballas enjoying one last burst of summer at a fab-u-lous pool party, held in the grounds of a glamorous mansion.
The trailer gives an early taste of a sizzling full-length routine that will form part of Strictly’s hotly-anticipated Launch Show, airing on the evening of Saturday 20 September. The party soon turns into a dazzling group number, that will feature appearances from fellow Strictly judges Anton du Beke, Craig Revel Horwood and Motsi Mabuse – plus the debut of Strictly’s brand new Professional Dancers, Alexis Warr and Julian Caillon, whose arrival makes a big splash.
Strictly Come Dancing: The Launch Show will reveal who this year’s 15 celebrities will be paired with, as they each come face-to-face with their Professional dance partner in a series of specially-filmed, surprise-packed sequences.
The Launch Show will also feature a spectacular group dance where all 15 celebs and their partners take to the floor for the first time. Plus a sensational routine from last year’s winners Chris McCausland and Dianne Buswell, an exclusive performance from Jessie J, and plenty of Strictly surprises – all hosted by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman.
