Oti Mabuse Returns with Star-Studded Dancing Legends Series
Get ready to dive into dance history as Oti Mabuse returns with the new series of Dancing Legends. The Strictly pro meets top stars from stage and screen, including Destiny’s Child singer Michelle Williams, ballet great Wayne Sleep, and none other than her sister and Strictly judge, Motsi Mabuse.
Iconic Inspirations Uncovered
Each episode features Oti asking her guests to name the dancer or choreographer who shaped their careers. Expect a dazzling lineup of legends—from Bob Fosse, the maestro behind jazz’s signature style, to Debbie Allen, who fused dance styles from across the globe.
“It’s great to come back with a new series of Dancing Legends. I love exploring the history of dance and learning about the visionary figures who have come before me,” said Oti Mabuse. “This series is extra special as I chat with people who have inspired me personally, celebrating the icons that shaped the dance world.”
First Episode Shines Spotlight on Bob Fosse
The premiere episode features musical theatre star Ruthie Henshall, who shares her career insights and pays tribute to Bob Fosse. Known for hits like Cabaret, Chicago, and Pippin, Fosse won an Oscar, Tony, and Emmy all in one year. Ruthie and Oti explore his legacy with rare archive footage and expert insights from author Sam Wasson.
