Dance with the Strictly Stars in 2025

Strictly Come Dancing fans disappointed by the cancellation of the annual ‘Strictly: The Professionals’ tour needn’t hang up their dancing shoes just yet. Donahey’s is back with its ultimate ‘Dancing with the Stars Experience’, offering an exclusive, immersive weekend filled with glitz, glamour, and everyone’s favourite Strictly Come Dancing stars.

Strictly fans can still get their dance fix by joining Amy Dowden MBE, Anton Du Beke, Aljaz Skorjanec, and other Strictly stars for a luxurious weekend getaway. This unforgettable experience brings the glitz and glamour of the ballroom to life with exclusive performances, hands-on dance lessons, and behind-the-scenes access to the stars of the show.

The weekend breaks will take place on select dates throughout the year, offering three unforgettable days of spectacular live performances. Plus, instead of just watching from the sidelines, guests will have the unique opportunity to learn to dance from some of the best professional dancers in the world, experience live music, and attend Q&A sessions that take them behind the scenes of the TV sensation.

“We’re delighted to be back for another year to help more Strictly fans experience the magic of the ballroom first hand,” said organiser Paul Donahey. “What makes these weekends truly unique is that not only do fans get to learn from and watch performances by their favourite TV stars, but they also have the incredible opportunity to see the reigning World Ballroom Champions perform too. Our 2025 lineup is our best yet, and we’re thrilled to welcome back Amy Dowden MBE.”

2025’s unique interactive weekends will take place from March through to November and turn dance dreams into an unforgettable real-life experience at Alton Towers Resort Hotel, Staffordshire, the De Vere Beaumont Estate, Old Windsor, Berkshire and the five-star Celtic Manor Resort Hotel in Newport.

Guests at the Celtic Manor weekends can expect to be entertained, dance and mingle with BAFTA Award Winner Giovanni Pernice, Strictly Stars Lauren Oakley, Jowita Przystal and Nikita Kuzmin, Amy Dowden MBE, Katya Jones and the British, European and World 10 Dance Champions, Glenn and Caroly Boyce.

Former World Professional Ballroom Champions Warren and Kristi Boyce will also be on hand, along with Argentine Tango Stars Leandro Palou and Maria Tsiatsiani. The Tony Greenwood 15-piece Big Band will provide the live soundtrack to each mesmerising showcase.
