Strictly Come Dancing fans will be seeing the professional dancers as they’ve seen them before in an unforgettable group performance.
Week 5 of the BBC dance competition heralds Icons Week – and who could be more iconic than the legendary Britney Spears?
The female professional dancers will each don a costume from the pop princess’ most memorable eras before they strut their stuff.
So what can we expect to see in this unique performance as the competition gets underway? We’re here to give you a sneak peek…
Strictly Come Dancing: First look at Week 5 Icons group dance
Over on the official Strictly Come Dancing Instagram page, our pro dancers gave us the low-down on their Britney medley.
“In this dance, all of us professionals are playing different iconic Britney Spears moments,” explains Jowita Przystal.
Jake Leigh, who choreographed the impressive routine, adds: “We start off with Amy [Dowden] dressed as our school girl Britney.
“We go all the way up until Circus, which is Nadiya being our ringleader Britney.”
Jowita then goes on to explain which styles of performance have been incorporated into the dance. There’s plenty for the audience to keep their eyes peeled for: expect jazz funk, vogue-ing and some cheeky Latin to finish.
“We’ll definitely be doing our best to match Britney’s incredible energy on stage,” says Lauren Oakley. “Fingers crossed we can pull it off!”
When is the Strictly Come Dancing Icons dance?
You can catch the professionals performing their Britney-inspired dance in the Sunday night results episode of Strictly Come Dancing.
Of course, it wouldn’t be icons week without our showbiz stars dancing to some absolute legends. Prepare to hear some Dolly Parton, Beyonce and Prince on the dancefloor!
