Giovanni Pernice and Luba Mushtuk, from Strictly Come Dancing, star in ‘il ballo è vita’ at Stockport Plaza on July 16.

Joined by professional dancers from Dancing with the Stars Ireland, this is not just another ‘An evening with….’ show, but a wonderful evening including a story set in a Sicilian caffè bar.

Leading man Giovanni thinks he has found love, but not everything is as easy as it first appears.

Expect dances such as the quickstep, samba, rhumba and the Argentine tango’ and, of course, his signature dance, the jive.

An elegant and beautiful tale is in store in this classy narrative which exudes love and passion.

The show is directed and choreographed by Jason Gilkison (creative director of Strictly Come Dancing) and produced by Paul Irving.
