The Strictly Come Dancing professional will appear in Xmas on the Dancefloor, a Christmas dance spectacular coming to Bradford Live on Sunday, December 6, 2026.
The show promises a mix of ballroom, Latin, commercial and contemporary dance, along with live vocals and all the season’s best-loved songs.
Mr Márquez said: “Christmas is my favourite time of year, and I honestly cannot wait to share it with you.
“Come and join us on the dancefloor.”
He will be joined by a cast of singers and dancers, including the Rockettes-inspired “Xmas Dolls” troupe.
The show will feature festive hits by Mariah Carey, Slade, the Spice Girls, Whitney Houston, Elton John and Michael Bublé.
Songs such as All I Want for Christmas, Last Christmas, Underneath the Tree, Feliz Navidad and Carol of the Bells will all feature.
Mr Márquez has been a professional dancer on Strictly Come Dancing since 2016 and has twice reached the final, with Helen Skelton and Alexandra Burke.
He has also performed in international productions including Burn the Floor, Strictly: The Professionals, FIREDANCE and Speakeasy, and has served as head judge on Spain’s Dancing with the Stars.
Off stage, Mr Márquez and his wife, television personality Gemma Atkinson, co-host the popular podcast Lost in Translation.
Stuart Glover, creative director, said: “I’ve always wanted to create a show that celebrates dance during the festive season, so I’m very excited for Xmas on the Dancefloor, which combines Strictly-style ballroom and Latin with commercial and contemporary dance from our Xmas Dolls troupe.
“It will be full of nostalgia, glamour and a few surprises – a real Christmas celebration.
“I’m delighted to be working with Gorka again, he has an irresistible charm and dazzling dance talent, and I know audiences are going to have a fabulous time.”
The show is promoted by ShowPlanr, with commercial director Tom Madge promising a festive treat.
Mr Madge said: “We’re thrilled to be promoting the brand-new Xmas on the Dancefloor tour.
“This high-energy, feel-good production will be just the ticket to get audiences in the Christmas spirit with its mix of spectacular dance, live vocals and, of course, a very exciting guest star in Gorka Márquez.
“We can’t wait for the tour to get started in Blackpool.”
