Calling all Strictly fans!

A new show will be cha-cha-chaing its way to CBBC's Saturday Mash-Up! this autumn.

Strictly Pro Dance Off will see the professional dancers from Strictly Come Dancing go head-to-head in a series of dance battles, with each episode matching Strictly's theme of the week.

And if you can't watch dancing without tapping your feet, then good! As the programme encourages viewers to join in with the lesson if they can.

So what do you think? Will you be watching? Dancing? Let us know in the comments below.

Each 7-minute episode will see one Strictly Pro joined in the virtual training room by two others, and lead a tutorial on a routine.

The two students will then battle it out to impress their teacher.

Sarah Muller, Senior Head of Commissioning for BBC Children's and Education 7+, says she hopes that viewers will discover "more about the different styles and techniques that bring the ballroom to life".

The first episode will be out on 19 September, the same day as the new season of Strictly starts.
