Skorjanec and Manrara are excited to take on the accolade.

They said: "Fred Astaire is an inspiration to every dancer we know. We are excited to be headlining a show paying tribute to this unique Hollywood legend. We will celebrate his dance, his choreography, his most memorable songs and films, as well as his poise and elegance and what made this man such an icon of the 20th century.

"Just like Fred, we will be doing it big, doing it right and doing it with style!."
