Ian Waite & Oti Mabuse: Rhythm of the Night
Whitley Bay Playhouse
Saturday 16th June 2018
Strictly Come Dancing dance professionals Ian Waite and 2016 finalist Oti
Mabuse are joining forces to embark on a 60-date tour of the UK with
their new stage show.
An Audience With Ian Waite & Oti Mabuse – Rhythm of the Night
promises dance fans an extravaganza of high intensity Latin and Ballroom
favourites in one thrilling evening designed to dazzle.
Ian and Oti always push the boundaries of dance to bring the best out of
their celebrity partner, with both reaching the final of the hit BBC Saturday
night show. Last season it was Oti who almost waltzed off with the Glitterball
with her partner, Hollyoaks’ Danny Mac.
An Audience With is brought to audiences by the same team who presented
the popular Somewhere In Time tour earlier this year, and during the evening
dance enthusiasts will be transported away to a place packed with wonderful
moments, with both fun-filled, fleet-footed entertainment and a chance to learn
more about Ian and Oti and their lives.
And in addition to the stunning performances themselves, there are a
limited number of 30 higher-priced tickets which include a meet-and- greet
before the show where there is the chance to have your photograph taken with
the stars and have your special souvenir programme signed.
Since hanging up his competitive Strictly dance shoes, Ian has become a
firm favourite behind the scenes on Strictly Come Dancing’s It Takes Two
programme with his own slot, Waite’s
Wednesday Warm-Up – during which he casts his expert eye over the weekly
progress of the celebrities and their professional partners.
Ian began dancing aged 10 when he accompanied his younger brother to
Saturday dance lessons at home in Reading, and was
enticed onto the dancefloor for the very first time. Even then, it was clear to
all that despite being in his school rugby and football teams, he was a born performer
and dancer.
He went on to make it to the European Professional Latin Championships
finals in 2003. His celebrity dance partners on Strictly Come Dancing have
included singer Mica Paris, Olympian Denise Lewis, model Penny Lancaster-Stewart, model Jodie Kidd, and
radio personality and television presenter Zoe Ball.
South African Oti is known for her breath-taking choreography, sparkling
personality and amazing talent for creating fresh new pieces both on stage and
television. She started dancing at the tender age of four, and made a name for
herself as the undefeated
eight-times South African Latin American Champion, while at the same time
studying civil engineering at university.
Oti then moved to Germany to start
her International career as a professional dancer, becoming German Champion,
Bronze Medallist at The World Championships and Vice European Champion - making
her one of the most successful South African dancers in the world. Taking her
talents to the world of TV, she started on Let’s Dance – the German version of
Strictly, before being invited to join the flagship BBC show
where over two series she has cemented her place as one of the UK’s
favourite professional dancers.
