When you hear 'ice skating' your first thought is of Torvill and Dean. When you hear 'tango' your thoughts flock to dance partners Flavia Cacace and Vincent Simone.
Since joining Strictly Come Dancing in 2006 the pair have become a household name and the past 12 months have been their most successful yet. In the 2012 series of Strictly both reached the final with their celebrity partners and Flavia went on to win with gymnast Louis Smith.
Having recently finished a sell out stint in the West End, Midnight Tango is now on its third UK tour.
Set in a Buenos Aries bar it is a simple story of the relationship between a couple and another man who tries to come between them. With an amazing ensemble and an endearingly sweet sub-story between the married bar owners this show has all the romance, passion and sensuality you expect from the dance.
But it is Flavia and Vincent's dances together that steal the show. This is where they show off their enormous amount of skill in the dance, moving together with a fluidity and smoothness that can only come with time (they have been dancing together for 17 years). But it is the pure joy and love of what they are doing you can see in their eyes and with every step that gives it that extra something to make this a very special show.
This chance to see two of Strictly's finest dancers in action is not to be missed.
