Strictly Come Dancing stars Gorka Marquez and Karen Hauer are coming to the Bridgewater Hall next month.
The pair will perform their show Firedance, which was curtailed by the 2020 lockdown.
They’ll resume the nationwide tour today, landing at the Bridgewater Hall on March 11.
“So much passion was poured into the show in early 2020, we performed 7 totally electric shows before Covid stopped us in our tracks,” said Karen.
“Now we are coming back with a bang to stages across the UK heating up those winter months. With hypnotic beats, stunning choreography and our very own feisty Latin dance production.”
Gorka added: “After a long wait Firedance is back on stage and back on tour. Karen and I are so passionate about this show, a fusion of Latin, contemporary and commercial dance.
“We were gutted when Covid hit in 2020. Now along with our amazing company of dancers, musicians and fire artists, this hot show returns and I am thrilled.”
The show features dances from the tango and flamenco, through to contemporary, paso doble, samba and salsa, with songs including In The Air Tonight, Sway, Bad Romance, Sweet Dreams, Relight My Fire and Bamboleo.
Karen, who was married to fellow dancer Kevin Clifton, joined Strictly for its tenth series in 2012, and has become a high profile member of the show’s cast of dancers, coupling with the likes of Chris Ramsay, Charles Venn and Manchester chef Simon Rimmer.
Gorka meanwhile joined the show for its 14th series in 2016, and was last paired Coronation Street’s Katie McGlynn.
