Strictly Come Dancing’s Nikita Kuzmin has shared some exciting career news away from the glitzy BBC One show.
The Ukrainian dancer first strutted his stuff on the Strictly dance floor back in 2021 – and has become a firm favourite with viewers. Over the years, he’s danced with the likes of Ellie Simmonds and Layton Williams.
But now, Nikita is set to spread his wings, as he is due to head off on his very first solo tour.

Nikita will be strutting his stuff up and down the UK next year, on his solo tour, Midnight Dancer.
The tour will open on March 8 2025 and run through to May 24, performing across the UK from Wolverhampton and Cardiff to Liverpool and Manchester. He will also play a special performance at Peacock Theatre in London from 21 – 22 March 2025.
