The stars of Strictly Come Dancing bring their smash-hit 2011 stage show to cinemas!

Vincent Simone and Flavia Cacace have dazzled television audiences for six series of the BBC’s Strictly Come Dancing with their stunning Tango routines. Now they have created their own live show – Midnight Tango – a breathtaking evening bringing all the drama, sensuality and elegance of this most exciting of dance forms to life.

Set in a late night bar in downtown Buenos Aires and featuring some of the finest Tango dancers in the world, Midnight Tango, takes you on a journey into the heart of this intoxicating city. As danger and excitement, joy and jealousy, pain and passion all combine – this is a spectacular and explosive evening not to be missed!

Midnight Tango is to be broadcast live from a packed theatre to cinemas screens nationwide for this one night only, stunning, alternative content event.

“A deeper understanding of the dynamics of how we move and keep contact with our partner is more important than learning steps. If you can do that, then your improvisation skills will increase tremendously. You will also have a better connection with the music. [...] then you can go back to the patterns you learned and work on them from a different perspective.” (Raul Masciocchi)

Raul directs Practica X, one of the most popular practicas in Buenos Aires. His tango fusions traditional milonguero style with the new tendencies. He is now touring, teaching tango workshops around Europe.

This years festival will feature:

Marion and Enrique
Ruben y Sabrina Veliz
Jenny Frances and Ricardo Oria

There has been a tango class in Limerick every Tuesday, except the Christmas break, since we started in January 2006. There’s been some good times.

Roll on Thursday.

Thank you to Brigitte of Paris-Tango.co.uk for helping to arrange for Adrian & Amanda’s visit to Ireland.

I would like to thank the class participants who put up with the 30 minute delay to allow those driving through the torrential rain make it for the start of the class.

I would like to thank those people who drove through the torrential rain when lesser souls would have given up and turned back.

I would like to thank those people who after driving to Limerick through the rain and home again on the Friday night, got up on Saturday morning and did it all again.

Specifically I would like to thank Monica, Louise and Sabina for putting on a wonderful spread. Louise again for manning the door.

All the ladies for the wonderful birthday waltz.

Those that came, that don’t dance, because it was my birthday and they wanted to see what it was all about.

If I didn’t get to dance with someone or didn’t get to speak to someone my apologies there were things coming at me from left, right and centre.

Thanks to Tango Fiesta Dublin (formerly Tango Essence) for partnering me in this venture and making it possible to bring Adrian & Amanda to Ireland.

Finally thank you to everyone, you made it a fantastic night.
