Strictly and Celebrity Big Brother star Nikita Kuzmin up close on UK Tour

He’s gathering a growing army of fans…

Rising star of Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity Big Brother Nikita Kuzmin has hit the road with his brand-new show Midnight Dancer and he’s coming to The Anvil, Basingstoke, on Saturday, March 15 (7.30pm), as part of this first ever UK solo tour.

Nikita will be joined by a sharp and chic cast of talented dancers and vocalists in a production jam-packed with hits we all know and love in an evening bursting with happiness, euphoria and world-class dance.

A six-time Italian Champion in Latin and Ballroom dance and choreographer, he is best-known as a professional dancer on BBC One’s Strictly Come Dancing.

In Strictly’s 2023 series, Nikita was runner-up with dance partner Layton Williams. They scored the earliest 10 for a cha-cha ever. The duo redeemed their runner-up status on the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour in February last year, when they were crowned as glitterball winners.

A month later, Nikita entered the Celebrity Big Brother House when the series aired on ITV. His presence resonated with housemates and viewers alike, securing him a place in the final and a second-place finish.

In the most recent series of Strictly Come Dancing, Nikita was partnered with former hockey player-turned-TV celeb Sam Quek.

Born in Ukraine, Nikita lived there for nine years until his family relocated to Italy to support his sister’s dancing career. It was during his nine years in Italy that Nikita became a six-time Italian Champion in Latin and Ballroom dance.

Nikita moved to Germany aged 18, where he started working at fellow Strictly alumni Motsi Mabuse’s dance studio before landing a spot as a professional dancer on Let’s Dance – Germany’s version of Strictly Come Dancing – in 2020.

Since his diagnosis with Type One diabetes at age 13, Nikita has become a passionate and active campaigner, inspiring those affected to not let it restrict them and raising a wider awareness around the condition.

Midnight Dancer promises a great night of entertainment, so get ready to see Nikita as you've never seen him before.
