Love is in the air - or at least it will be from 12 June, when Strictly Ballroom twirls its way back onto the big screen in a new 4K re-release from Vertigo Releasing, with a 4K UHD and Blu-ray release landing 27 July via Visions Home Video.

Written and Directed by Baz Luhrmann in his wildly energetic big-screen debut, Strictly Ballroom is one of the most joyful, hilarious and uplifting films in cinematic history - a glitter-soaked, laugh-out-loud celebration of love, rebellion and finding your own rhythm. And for the first time in years, audiences can experience it the way it was meant to be seen: larger than life, louder than ever, and with every sequin sparkling in glorious 4K.

Starring Paul Mercurio as rule-breaking ballroom star Scott Hastings and Tara Morice as shy beginner Fran, the film dives headfirst into the fiercely competitive (and fabulously dramatic) world of ballroom dancing. When Scott dares to dance his own steps, he shocks the establishment - led by the outrageously over-the-top Barry Fife (Bill Hunter) - and finds himself without a partner. Enter Fran: underestimated, unstoppable, and ready to shake things up.

What follows is a riot of outrageous costumes, unforgettable one-liners, and iconic characters - from the gloriously glamorous Tina Sparkle (Sonia Kruger) to Fran’s scene-stealing family - all building to a finale that will have you cheering in your seat.

This is also the film that helped inspire the title of global TV phenomenon, Strictly Come Dancing - and once you’ve seen it with a crowd, you’ll understand why the world fell in love with ballroom dancing all over again. Whether you’re discovering it for the first time or reliving every dramatic dip and dazzling twirl, Strictly Ballroom is the ultimate feel-good cinema experience.

Originally premiering at the Cannes Film Festival, the film became an instant sensation, earning standing ovations and international acclaim. It went on to receive a Golden Globe Awards nomination, while composer David Hirschfelder won a BAFTA Award for the film’s unforgettable score - featuring classics like “Love Is in the Air” by John Paul Young and Cyndi Lauper favourites. So dust off your dancing shoes, grab your friends, and get ready to feel the rhythm again.

Included in the 4K UHD, Blu-ray release on 27 July via Visions Home Video are: the new poster, artcards and bonus feature
