Warner Leisure Hotels, in association with BBC Worldwide, has announced Strictly Come Dancing themed holiday breaks, which will be launched in 2010.
The new holiday breaks will offer customers the chance to get up close and personal with their favourite Strictly Come Dancing stars (including Anton Du Beke, Flavia Cacace and Vincent Simone) as well as develop their own dancing skills with tuition from some of the dance world's top professionals. Joining the dancers will be Strictly Come Dancing judges Craig Revel Horwood and Len Goodman.
Visitors enjoying the three of four night breaks at any one of the five participating Warner hotels across the UK can also enter the 'Strictly Come Dancing Comes to Warner' competition which allows them to compete, judge or simply be part of the live audience. The package also includes the 'Strictly Showcase' which provides the opportunity to watch beautifully choreographed dance displays and routines.
Warner Leisure Hotels Head of Creative Entertainments, Sarah Dakin commented: "This exciting collaboration with BBC Worldwide and the Strictly Come Dancing brand will add spectacularly to the Warner Leisure Hotels popular dance break portfolio, bringing the show alive for both experienced dancers and those new to the floor. Ultimately we are offering our guests a unique experience to get up close and personal with both the glitz and glamour and their Strictly Come Dancing favourites."
Richard Halliwell, Commercial Director for Dancing with the Stars (the international title for Strictly Come Dancing) at BBC Worldwide said: "We are delighted that Warner Leisure Hotels will be taking the Strictly Come Dancing experience to fans throughout the country. The collaboration with Warner's, the first of its kind for the Strictly Come Dancing brand, offers an opportunity for like-minded fans to get together and waltz into the world of Strictly."
The new dance breaks will take place at the Cricket St Thomas Hotel in Somerset, Holme Lacy House Hotel in Hertfordshire, Thoresby Hall Hotel and Spa in Nottinghamshire, Littlecote House Hotel in Berkshire and Nidd Hall Hotel in North Yorkshire, and will be running from February - July 2010.
