The latest dance show featuring stars from Strictly is heading to the New Theatre in Peterborough and is set to be hot, hot, hot!
Strictly Stars Karen Hauer and Gorka Marquez are back with a new version of their incredible stage show FIREDANCE: Reignite, featuring fresh flavours and super-charged choreography.
ESP caught the show last year (after a two year wait due to Covid) and it did not disappoint! This one is all about the dancing, no talking.
The two Strictly favourites are joined by a cast of sizzling dancers and mesmerising fire specialists in a captivating dance-off inspired by the timeless movie blockbusters Romeo & Juliet, Moulin Rouge, Carmen and West Side Story.

We were really struck by the amazing songs which accompany the show and come thick and fast played by a sensational live band. Expect to hear an eclectic mix of Latin, Rock and Pop music from artists such as Camilla Cabello, Jason Derulo, Gregory Porter, Gypsy Kings, J.Lo, Marc Anthony and many more.
Karen said, “I am so excited to be reuniting with Gorka to bring you FIREDANCE: Reignite in 2023. Creating and performing this incredible show has been a career highlight and we are taking things to another level with original dances, new music and a lot more fire! We can’t wait to show you what we have created with this second chapter of the FIREDANCE story.”

Gorka added, “FIREDANCE is back! Karen and I are so excited to dance up a storm for you in 2023. Expect favourite moments and lots of new songs, dance, heat, fire and passion. We can’t wait to be back with our brilliant company doing what we love and hope you will join us.”
Gorka’s flair for dancing started from a very young age. Originally from Bilbao, Spain, aged 11 he attended Ballroom and Latin dance classes where he quickly excelled and became one of the top dancers representing Spain performing across the globe.
Both of them are amazing dancers and together they’re twice as hot!
