More about the Strictly Come Dancing 2023 tour

The Strictly Come Dancing 2023 tour will feature choreography and fantastic live music, like on the hit BBC TV show. Arena audiences will get to see the performances live and will also have the power to decide who takes home the Glitterball Trophy at the end of each show.

While the tour judges will give their inputs to the performers, the ultimate decider of the winner will be the audience vote. Each performance of the tour will host a British Sign Language interpreter, who will be displayed on large screens on either side of the stage.
