Strictly Come Dancing’s Giovanni Pernice is set to embark on a 2025 UK tour hosting his highly anticipated dance class for fans—and the star will be heading to Bristol for one day only. The class will take place at the Main Hall in Ashton Park Sports Centre and welcomes dancers at all stages, from beginners to advanced.
On the day, fans can enjoy a class taught by the professional dancer to the style of his choice (each class will be a different dance style and randomly selected). However, this is a solo dance class; fans will not be paired up as seen in Strictly. According to the tour site, dancers are warned that classes are for over-14s only, and under-18s should be accompanied by an adult.
The professional dancer left Strictly in June 2024 following bullying accusations from Amanda Abbington. Cleared of 10 out of 16 allegations, Giovanni is thriving, appearing in the Italian Strictly Come Dancing. He is set to return to UK screens in 2025 and is debuting his Ballando on Tour which will see the star visit the West Country.
For those interested in attending the dance class, Ballando on Tour warns that there are limited numbers, so you have to act fast. To maximise space in the studio and so that everyone feels comfortable, they ask that anyone not taking part in the class vacate the studio during the lesson time.
Filming and photography of the event will take place and may be used for promotional purposes, if you are uncomfortable with this please let the organisers know. The organisers ask for those who are attending to be mindful of the timetable. Giovanni is happy to say hello and take photos where time allows.
