Ballroom Fever

Ballroom Fever makes its UK debut at The Chrysalis Theatre on Saturday 31 October, a brand-new Ballroom and Latin American dance show that's just arriving on these shores in 2026. It's an evening of glamour, sparkle and high-intensity routines, with the cast pulling together international champion dancers—British, European and World finalists—led by Flavia Cacace.

If the name sounds familiar, it's because Cacace is a former Strictly Come Dancing professional and champion, and an Olivier-nominated stage star. She's the leading lady of the company, and the rest of the line-up is built around international champions, so the whole thing is a gathering of dancers who've competed at the highest levels of the sport. The show itself is a mix of Ballroom and Latin American styles, with the routines described as high-intensity—the kind of thing that's more about energy and precision than just slow dancing.

There's more to the day than just the performance, too. Before the show starts, there's a meet and greet that fills the auditorium from 5:45 pm, so you can get a closer look at the dancers before they take the stage. And if you're actually into dancing yourself, the day opens with workshops run by the professionals—one for children and young people aged 6 to 15, and another for adults. So you can spend the afternoon learning from the people you'll be watching that evening.

The show runs from 7:30 pm to 9:45 pm at The Chrysalis Theatre on Japonica Lane, MK15 9JY. Tickets are £28.50, with concessions available for under-16s, over-65s, students and Camphill Residents.
