The popular duo has revealed that they will be hosting a special workshop in Lewis's hometown of Hartlepool.
In a video posted to her stories, Lewis expressed: “Many people have been messaging us and commenting, saying they want to dance with us.
Katya chimed in, saying: “So we’ve decided that we want to dance with you.”
Lewis added: “We are going to have a workshop in Hartlepool; the link will be somewhere around here and in our bios.
“If you want to come and dance with us, meet us, ask us questions, and hang out with us – how exciting!”
They provided a link to purchase tickets for the one-off event on Sunday, February 22nd, from 10 am to 11:30 am, with general admission priced at £75.00 and a £2.00 booking fee.
This reunion follows their quarter-final appearance, where they were considered favorites to win.
After their elimination, Lewis paid a heartfelt tribute to his teacher Katya, stating: “It’s been incredible and will be a memory for the rest of my life, and I think it’s all down to you. You’ve given me everything as a friend and as a teacher.”
A tearful Katya responded: “I think you have created so many moments that will be in the history books. You will be remembered as the best male celebrity we’ve ever had on the show.
“I truly hope Lewis Cope will be remembered for the remarkable person you are.”
She referred to him as a “kind, humble gentleman.”
Regarding the show's impact, Lewis remarked: “What is life without people? I’ve seen how it’s brought people together.
“It seems to uplift everyone. It’s united my family, spanning four generations, every Saturday night.
“Young boys who once thought dancing wasn’t for them have started to dance. If you’ve changed even one person’s life like that, then that’s enough.”
Fans expressed their disappointment on social media after the elimination.
One viewer lamented: “This is a joke. #Strictly used to be a dancing competition, but the best dancer hasn’t won since 2015. This is the biggest robbery in Strictly history for me.
“I’ve watched every episode of every series, but I’m done for this series. Honestly devastated.”
Another fan exclaimed: “Oh my goodness! I just read your spoiler, and I am shocked to the core. That is SO ridiculous that I don’t think I can bring myself to watch another minute of Strictly. I’m out!”
A third viewer posted: “I’m so angry about this – two absolutely incredible dancers in the dance-off, and neither should have gone home. I guess there’s no point in watching the rest of the series now, so I’ve gained some time back!”
A fourth commenter ranted: “One of the biggest shocks in #Strictly #StrictlyComeDancing’s 21-year history. I AM GOBSMACKED!!!!!!“
