The glitz of Strictly Come Dancing landed in Macclesfield when two dancers from the show made a special appearance.

Mykita Dancing School was excited to welcome Neil Jones and Ekaterina Sokolova, who have choreographed dances for the popular TV show. The pair gave a workshop and performance to launch the new dance season and unveil Mykita’s new dance shop ‘The Bling Room’.

The school, on Snape Road, Hurdsfield, has been going for more than 35 years specialising in ballroom and latin dancing and is owned and run by Michael King.

Ali King, Michael's daughter who helps at the school, said: “Neil and Katya were part of the Britain’s Got Talent group Kings and Queens and have helped choreograph the professional dances on Strictly Come Dancing.

“For the first time we opened our doors to dancers all over the country to be part of the inspiring workshop.

“Mykita members donned their suits and evening dresses for the gala ball where Neil and Katya officially opened The Bling Room and performed a stunning showcase of dances.

“It was a fantastic day and a great start to the new dancing season.”
