Set in a late night bar in downtown Buenos Aires...
Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace joined by ten of the finest tango dancers in the world, take the audience on a journey into the heart of this intoxicating city, as danger and excitement, joy and jealousy, pain and passion combine into a spectacular and explosive live stage show.
The final performances of the UK Tour were in late July 2011 when Flavia and Vincent went straight into rehearsals for series 9 of BBC's Strictly Come Dancing television spectacular.
A ten week London West End run of Midnight Tango takes place at the Aldwych Theatre WC2 between 20th January and 31st March 2012 before the show continues to tour in the UK.
I've enjoyed the great privilege of working with these talented World Argentine Tango Show Champions, involving this fine art encounter related particularly to the hugely successful sell-out Midnight Tango UK Tour and thank Vincent and Flavia for re-enacting some of their stunning routines for me.
