Strictly stars Kevin and Joanne Clifton bring An Evening With to Tunbridge Wells

You may not be able to ballroom dance while being socially distant - but audiences can still enjoy it that way.

Strictly stars and champion siblings Kevin and Joanne Clifton are heading out on tour - and coming to Kent , with an intimate show they have tailored to a socially-distanced audience.

The talented brother and sister were originally due to tour together for the first time earlier this year in Burn the Floor but it had to be called off due to the pandemic.

The award winning pair have won many glittering trophies in the world of dance and have also both held the highly-sought glitter ball trophy aloft in Strictly, with Kevin winning in 2018 with journalist Stacey Dooley, and Joanne in 2016 with TV presenter Ore Oduba.

The pair have devised An Evening With Kevin and Joanne Clifton so it is perfect for a smaller audience, which gives a glimpse into the Clifton's dancing lives, from growing up in a dancing family, to the successful performers they are today.

And they are bringing it to the Assembly Hall Theatre in Tunbridge Wells, which reopens next week , on Sunday, November 29.

They will sing songs from their CD, share stories of their dancing lives, and perform some favourite ballroom and Latin dances with their professional partners.

Kevin said: “Although we all miss performing and producing live shows and it is great to be able to get back on stage, we know people’s health and safety is paramount.

"Myself, Joanne and our producers feel a responsibility to the theatre industry to help rebuild audience confidence, so that one day theatres will be full again.”

Producer Paul Irving of Strictly Theatre Co. added: “We feel this is a great way to support venues across the country...The aim is to boost audience confidence levels so that they feel safe to come to a theatre and watch live shows again. It also gives venues the opportunity to perfect safe social distancing measures.”

The production is being created and toured with audience, theatre staff, cast and crew safety at the forefront.

Kevin also brings his 2021 Burn the Floor tour to the Churchill Theatre, Bromley, on June 20, 2021. Find out more here.
