Who is Michelle Tsiakkas? Meet Strictly Come Dancing professional

As a seasoned movie buff who has seen more dance movies than I care to count, let me tell you that Michelle Tsiakkas is a name worth remembering. This 28-year-old professional dancer from Cyprus has been gracefully pirouetting across dance floors since she was six, and her résumé is as impressive as a Bollywood blockbuster’s cast list.


2024’s edition of Strictly Come Dancing is quickly approaching, as we expect to hear about the famous participants being selected this very week!

As a longtime fan of dance competitions, I am thrilled to share my excitement about this year’s lineup of celebrities participating in the upcoming event. With comedian Chris McCausland, JLS singer JB Gill, opera singer Wynne Evans, singer Toyah Willcox, TV doctor Dr Punam Krishan, and more set to grace the ballroom floor, I can’t help but feel that this will be an unforgettable season.

Meanwhile, as we await further details, let’s explore one of the Strictly pros that will be dancing with one of the fresh celebrity contestants instead.

As a die-hard movie enthusiast, I’ve been gracing the stage as a part of this fantastic program for the past two years now. I joined the star-studded cast that included Nikita Kuzmin and Dianne Buswell back in 2022.

What has Michelle Tsiakka said about Strictly Come Dancing?

In 2022, when Michelle became part of Strictly Come Dancing, she expressed to the BBC that participating was like a long-cherished dream realized for her.

Ever since I was just a young girl, the ambition to become a professional dancer on “Strictly Come Dancing” has always been close to my heart.

As a passionate film enthusiast, I’m utterly astonished – my dreams have materialized! I feel profound gratitude for the opportunity to become an integral part of this extraordinary cinematic family. The anticipation is palpable within me as I eagerly look forward to setting foot on that enchanting dance floor, ready to pour my heart and soul into every frame!

Who is Michelle paired with on Strictly Come Dancing 2024?

Michelle’s dance partner for Strictly has not been officially revealed as of now, but rest assured, the announcement is coming up soon. So, stay alert!

If Michelle is teamed up with a celebrity during this current season, it would mark her first such partnership since neither 2022 nor 2023 saw her paired with anyone.

When does Strictly Come Dancing 2024 air?

The specific start date for the program hasn’t been determined just yet, but rest assured, it promises to be a spectacular event, given that Strictly is marking its 20th anniversary on television.

To give you an idea, however, the series usually premieres in September and runs until December

Typically, a unique one-time Christmas event occurs during December; however, it hasn’t been officially announced for this year.
