There's something glorious about watching a married couple dancing in sync. It's the shared looks, smiles, in-jokes and sense of being completely intuitive, working in symbiosis. Few dancing couples have the charisma, wit and raw talent of husband and wife duo, Aljaž Škorjanec and Janette Manrara from the iconic BBC hit TV show, Strictly Come Dancing. They are icons for a good reason: they make any dance look absolutely effortless. They've been together since meeting at auditions for “Burn The Floor” in 2010, and married in 2017. Their first child Lyra Rose was born in 2023.
