Katya Jones
Katya Jones is best known for being a professional dancer on the BBC’s huge hit dancing programme, Strictly Come Dancing. Having made history on the programme, the former winner of the Glitterball is also available as a popular entertainment speaker.
Born in Soviet Russia in the late 80s, Katya started dancing when she was just six years old alongside training in gymnastics. Specialising in ballroom and Latin, she performed in some of the country’s most iconic dance shows and established herself as one of the most talented dancers in the industry.
In 2016, she joined the popular British television dance competition Strictly Come Dancing. Joining the show for its fourteenth series, she was paired with politician Ed Balls and quickly became one of the programme’s most loved professional dancers. The following year, Katya was paired with actor Joe McFadden. It’s this partnership that she is best remembered for, with her and Joe quickly establishing herself as the most popular pair on the series.
Helping to teach Joe a wide range of different dance styles, the pair won the iconic glitterball trophy during a fantastic final in 2017. As one of the most instantly recognisable TV presenters who can attend your next event, Katya can discuss what it was like to win the competition.
In 2020, Katya made history when she was paired with Olympic boxing champion Nicola Adams for the upcoming series. This announcement meant that Katya was part of the first-ever same-sex couple to compete in the UK version of the show, a huge step forward for inclusivity. At her keynote speaking events, she can discuss what it was like to be granted this historic moment, and her commitment to enhancing diversity and inclusivity on the show.
Alongside her role on Strictly,Katya has also become a popular television personality in the UK appearing on a wide range of primetime TV shows. As well as this, she can be found delighting audiences everywhere by taking part in Strictly Come Dancing’s nationwide tour, which sees her and her fellow dancers perform at some of the UK’s biggest venues.

The fee normally includes a keynote speech, as well as Q&A and meet and greet, but we can tailor the package to your needs and budget. Travel and accommodation for the speaker are normally charged separately but can be arranged by us.
Instead of having to approach each speaker individually, which can be challenging and time-consuming, we will take care of all of the legwork for you.

We ensure that a detailed contract is drawn up and are available to deal with any challenges that may occur along the way.
Each speaker has their own booking preferences. If you are looking to hire a renowned figure, we recommend booking 9-12 months before your event. If your dates are flexible, it’s often possible to arrange something on shorter notice. While we can accommodate bookings at any time, booking at least 3 months in advance ensures a smoother process and allows time to meet all your requirements.
Of course! One of our team would love to talk you through the range of speakers on our website and what they can offer to your next big event.
