Strictly Come Dancing professional Luba Mushtuk has revealed her plans following her departure from the BBC programme.
The dancer is amongst five professionals who have left the ballroom competition after its most recent series, alongside Karen Hauer, Gorka Marquez, Nadiya Bychkova and Michelle Tsiakkas, reports the Mirror.
She has announced that she’ll be leading dance classes and told fans she is “so excited”.
“As so many of you have been asking me what I’m going to do after tour is over. So here it is…” Luba wrote on Instagram alongside a promotional image for her new sessions.
“Luba’s Little Sunday Thing… I’m so excited about this.”

Despite leaving Strictly, Luba has participated in the most recent professionals tour. It’s scheduled to conclude later this month and the star posted an emotional goodbye message on Instagram.
She said: “The final week of the tour begins tomorrow and before it does, I just wanted to say thank you, truly and deeply thank you, to all of you who have taken the time to share your love with me through your messages, your words at stage doors, your tears and your love.
“It means more than I could ever fully put into words. Reading your thoughts and feelings and knowing that something in my words has reached your hearts is exactly what I hoped for when I chose what I wanted to say in my speech.
“And I’m so grateful to be able to share a piece of my heart with you all and to know that you can feel it too, reminding each other that none of us are ever truly alone.”

“I will carry your love with me long after the final dance,” said Luba, who had been a fixture in the Strictly Come Dancing professional line-up since 2018.
“Thank you for being part of this journey with me.”
Strictly is set to make its return later this year, with a fresh batch of celebrities stepping onto the dancefloor.
It was recently announced that Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe will take over presenting duties, following Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly’s departure from the show.
