Professionals

The professional dancers play a crucial role in the competition. They are paired with celebrity contestants, choreographing and teaching them ballroom and Latin routines each week. Their responsibilities include designing routines that showcase the celebrity’s strengths, ensuring technical accuracy, and adapting to their partner’s abilities.

Professionals also perform group dances and themed routines, adding to the show's entertainment value. Many become audience favorites, with some achieving significant popularity beyond Strictly. Their mentorship and choreography can heavily influence the competition's outcome, making them essential to the show's success and the progress of their celebrity partners.
