Strictly Come Dancing reveals first look at new pro line-up in trailer
The trailer follows some first-look images that were recently released.
We're now just days away from the return of Strictly Come Dancing, which will be back on BBC One and BBC iPlayer this month – and now the BBC has launched a new trailer that will air for the first time on BBC One tonight (4th September).
The 30-second clip sees this year's professional line-up sporting some exceptionally colourful outfits and excitedly dancing to the iconic Vengaboys hit We Like to Party! (The Vengabus) on board a very pink and glittery bus.
One especially great moment in the trailer sees Amy Dowden hop on board the vehicle as she prepares to rejoin the series after missing last year's contest while she underwent chemotherapy following a cancer diagnosis.
Earlier, fans had been given a taste of what to expect with some new images showcasing the trailer's concept with the dancers "encouraging everyone to get aboard the Strictly bus", in addition to a photo of this year's Strictly professionals back in the ballroom.
The trailer routine will also be part of this year's launch show dance and has been choreographed by Jason Gilkison. The full routine is performed to a medley of the aforementioned We Like to Party! (The Vengabus), Baby Baby by Corona, Pump Up the Jam + Get Up (Before the Night Is Over) by Technotronic and Absolutely Everybody by Vanessa Amorosi.
Other songs included in the medley are Get Ready for This by 2 Unlimited, Saturday Night by Whigfield, Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit by Gina G and 5,6,7,8 + Stomp by Steps.

This year's season of Strictly will also mark the show's 20th anniversary, with some surprises and special moments to mark the occasion sure to be in store.
It has already been announced that the launch show will feature a celebratory dance to welcome Dowden back to the ballroom, after she missed last year's run while she was being treated for breast cancer.
As usual, the launch show will also reveal which celebrity contestants will be paired with which professional dancers, while they will all also be performing a group routine.
This year's run will be the most accessible season of Strictly ever, as it will include the option for live signing, which will be available on BBC iPlayer and through the red button.
Strictly Come Dancing will return to BBC One and BBC iPlayer on 14th September 2024.
