With the celebrity contestants for this year's Strictly Come Dancing recently announced, the BBC has now issued another exciting update about the upcoming series.
As the likes of Angela Rippon, Adam Thomas, Zara McDermott and Layton Williams are among the stars taking to the dance floor this autumn, the first images have been revealed.
The dazzling snaps were taken from the Strictly 2023 trailer which is set to air today (September 2) on BBC One.
Footage will show professional dancers such as Gorka Márquez, Giovanni Pernice, Dianne Buswell and Johannes Radebe performing a dance routine which was filmed at the Tate Britain in London.
The performance will open the launch show when it takes place later this month.
