January sees one of Strictly Come Dancing’s most popular professional couples return to the stage with a performance at Medina Theatre in Newport.
Kristina Rihanoff is once again teaming up with Robin Windsor, in a show created by Kristina herself, called ‘DANCE TO THE MUSIC’.
Kristina, who left ‘Strictly’ to have her little girl, is ready to burn up the dance floor.
The shows starts in the 1920’s and takes the audience through over 20 different dance styles – in 2 action packed hours. Showcasing favourites like the Charleston and the Quickstep, before
paying homage to the delightful Fred and Ginger, with the American Smooth.
The story also leads us through a touching dedication to World War Two, with the music of Glen Miller and The Andrews Sisters, before a trip Stateside with a brilliant Rock-n-Roll section
influenced by the one and only, Elvis Presley.
The second half of the show is guaranteed to get your feet moving, visiting the funky Motown and Disco eras. If that wasn’t enough for you, the show includes some ingenious routines, with music
by the legends Michael Jackson and Prince, including a spellbinding Rumba, performed by former ‘Strictly’ professional Oksana and her husband Jonathan Platero, to the epic ‘Purple Rain’.
The 2 phenomenal couples will be joined by 4 more professionals from the dance world, along with the vocal talents of X-Factor finalist Christopher Maloney and singer/songwriter Beth
Sherburn.
Expect other dance styles like the Viennese Waltz, the Salsa, the Paso Doble, the Argentine Tango, Tap, Breakdancing, Hip-Hop, Lindy Hop, plus loads more.
Dance to the Music appears at Medina Theatre on 27th January at 19:30. Tickets can be purchased at www.medinatheatre.co.uk or by calling 01983 823884.
