Around twenty years or so ago, a new craze swept the theatre community. It was dance, or rather a form of dance that had never been seen on a mainstream scale before. It was presented by Michael Flatley, with his extremely quick and complex tap-dancing show Lord Of The Dance quickly becoming a massive success in the UK and beyond, reaching all corners of the world from America to Japan to Australia. Needless to say, it built up quite a reputation, as well as a very strong following.

And now, after providing several variants of the original show, Flatley presents his latest production, Lord Of The Dance - Dangerous Games. (Well, it was actually launched a while ago, but last night marked the new show's first bow in Liverpool, so the statement still rings true!)

The Last Tango is a story of one dancing couple's evolution, from when they initially met as dance partners to their budding relationship to life as a married couple and as parents of two children. If you are a fan of Strictly Come Dancing, then you will recognise Flavia Cacace and Vincent Simone, who have been in the world of professional dance for many years but achieved national fame on the BBC show for many years.

And this provides a showcase for Flavia and Vincent to tell their own story through the use of their most recognisable dance routines, their favourite songs to dance along to, and to in essence enlighten the audience on how there is a lot more to a dance show than just the moves and the music.
