Amy Dowden and Carlos Gu Will Bring REBORN Tour to Swindon's Wyvern Theatre
The REBORN tour features world-class dancers and vocalists celebrating Amy Dowden's return after cancer treatment.
Strictly Come Dancing favourites Amy Dowden MBE and Carlos Gu are back with their live tour REBORN, returning to theatres across the UK from May 2026, on the back of the packed houses earlier this year.
Amy made her return to the dancefloor last year after her cancer diagnosis, while Carlos embraced a new chapter of self-discovery since moving to the UK - together, they truly feel REBORN.
This show celebrates the transformative power of dance, featuring a dazzling cast of world-class dancers and vocalists. Audiences can expect an emotional journey through powerful and show-stopping routines that capture the joy, energy and beauty of dance.
Amy Dowden and her partner Ben Jones were crowned British National Latin Dance Champions in 2016, becoming the first all-British pair to win the title in over 30 years. Their other accolades include British Dance Federation Champions, English Closed Champions, and Welsh Closed and Open Champions.
Since joining Strictly Come Dancing in 2017, Amy has become one of the show's most loved professionals. Her highlight came in 2019, reaching the Final with Karim Zeroual, while she has also partnered with Tom Fletcher, Brian Conley and JJ Chalmers.
Amy's achievements extend beyond the dancefloor. She won the Raising Awareness Award at the Hello! Magazine Star Women Awards in 2019, received a Points of Light Award from the Prime Minister in 2023, and was awarded an MBEin the King's Birthday Honours 2024 for her charity work with Crohn's & Colitis UK. Her BBC documentary Strictly Amy: Crohn's & Me won a BAFTA Cymru, and following her breast cancer diagnosis and treatment, she continues her advocacy through her work with both My Breast Friend and CoppaFeel! A new BBC One documentary following her cancer journey aired last year.
Carlos Gu is a three-time Chinese National Champion, multiple World semi-finalist, and has achieved success as a German Open finalist and runner-up in the Amateur Rising Star Latin at the 2017 UK Championships.
Joining Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, Carlos reached the Final in his debut season with Molly Rainford, and in 2023 partnered Angela Scanlon, captivating audiences with their stunning Argentine Tango at Blackpool.
Beyond Strictly, Carlos has performed on live tours and led professional productions showcasing his artistry. His charisma and openness have also shone through television appearances on The One Show, This Morning, Lorraine, It Takes Two, The Hit List and CBeebies Bedtime Stories, where he has shared how dance and his move to the UK have transformed his life.
As Carlos continues to inspire audiences, his story – like Amy's – is one of passion, resilience and renewal. Together, they promise an unforgettable experience with REBORN.
