Strokely Come Dancing 2026

Strokely Come Dancing 2026 is on at Voco Hotel Sheffield on Friday 13 November, a dance show that puts stroke survivors centre stage. It's a charity event, and the whole thing is built around dancers who have survived a stroke returning to the ballroom.

The name does most of the heavy lifting here. It's a play on Strictly Come Dancing, and that's exactly the format it follows: couples taking to the floor for a series of ballroom dances. But the focus isn't on the competition so much as the people on stage. The organisers describe it as turning the ballroom into a platform for recovery and visibility, putting the dancers themselves in the spotlight rather than the routines.

If you've never seen it before, the appeal is pretty straightforward. It's a night of dancing, but with a very specific group of people at the heart of it. The dancers are all stroke survivors, and seeing them back on the floor is the whole point of the evening. It's a charity event, so the money goes to a cause, and the dancing is the way they raise it.

It's held at Voco Hotel Sheffield, formerly the Mercure St Pauls, at 119 Norfolk Street, S10 1FB. Doors open at 19:30 and the show starts at 20:00. Tickets are £25 and you get them through Eventbrite.
