BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing star Kristina Rihanoff, who reached the finals of the hit show with her celebrity partner Simon Webbe in the show’s 12th series, is heading to Whitby Pavilion on Sunday, August 5.

Promoted by local dance teacher Chris Colebrooke and supported by The LP Dance Centre of Whitby, Kristina will teach three sessions, including one for all abilities.

The Strictly Come Dancing sensation will also focus on both Latin and ballroom technique, with students from around Yorkshire booking their place to get the top tips on competitive ballroom and Latin dancing.

Chris Colebrooke said: “I am absolutely thrilled Kristina will be coming to Whitby. This is such an amazing thing for the town and a great opportunity for not just dances, but everyone.”

Tickets are available by phoning Chris Colebrooke on 07881 246922.
