Kentish Express Ashford & District - What's On
DANCE ALL NIGHT
He’s danced into our hearts every year since 2011 on BBC’S Strictly. Now Pasha Kovalev is set to waltz onto two Kent stages in the coming weeks, as part of his latest show. The Siberian-born 37-year-old toured with his It’s All About You tour last year with his long term dance partner, Anja Garnis, who he has known for more than 15 years. His partner off the dance floor is Countdown presenter Rachel Riley, who he met on Strictly in 2013.
Now he is back with Let’s Dance the Night Away, which comes to Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone next week.
The production features breathtaking choreography, music and costumes – and local dancers,
In each venue around the country, he has chosen to dance with members of local dance schools.
At Folkestone, he will dance with pupils from Julia’s Studio in the first half and introduce them to the audience. He recently popped in ahead of the show to practise some moves with them.
At the Orchard Theatre in Dartford, where he will perform on Saturday, April 22, dancers from the Sapphire Dance Academy will join him on stage.
Pasha is the most successful professional dancer on Strictly and won the title with Caroline Flack in 2014.
