    NEW LOOK MIDNIGHT TANGO 2012 WEBSITE :)

    The official website has had a makeover and is looking FAB!

    http://www.midnighttango.co.uk/

    Also list of other dates now been added, but still looking like Aberdeen might be the last week of it and finishing up a week earlier than Midnight Tango 2011 - Maybe to allow time for a full 2 weeks holiday before SCD instead of the 1 week they had this year.

    You can also sign up on the homepage for newsletter updates of the show. :)

    Vincent and Flavia interview this afternoon on Isle of Wight radio :) Not sure if it will be the new SCD series or Midnight Tango they are talking about, but probably a bit of both :)

    Nice picture of them too with the interviewer (John Hannam)

    Wow, another full packed tour next year then :D Can't wait :D

    Wonder if there will be any more venues announced, looks pretty full though, just one spare week 14th to 20th May for maybe 1 more venue if they finish a bit early next next to give themselves more of a holiday :)

    Nothing particularly constructive to add but I saw MT back in July and booked up again to go in February! I loved it. I found some of it breath-taking and as for the make up dance ... I did not shed a tear ... someone was wearing strong perfume, ok??

    There are some very strange nominees in that list. Alexandra and Stefano have not performed together for a year, Anthony Howell doesn't really perform at all, And I've never heard of some of the others. There's also no mention of Jenny and Ricardo, who for my money are the best performers in the UK at the moment.

    I wonder how that list was compiled? I've never heard of this LUKAS thing before - I can guarantee it's not a big deal in the UK AT scene, it looks more like a salsa thing to me.

    The Tango Teacher thing is even more weird - again, no Jenny and Ricardo, and Federico's on it. Twice.

    I doubt this award's credibility.

    I'll still vote anyway - Flav seems to be pretty pleased about being nominated so it obviously means something to her which is fair enough to me, even if not credible in your eyes. :)

    Hopefully others will vote too.

    I know it was probably just me who was a numptyhead, but just incase anyone else is the same as me can I just explain that once you have selected their name from the drop down box, you then have to click on the red 'vote now' button in order to REGISTER and then once you have registered you can vote once per day.

    I didn't realise you had to register and thought once I had clicked on their name that I had voted for them, when in actual fact I hadn't :o

    Midnight Tango DVD came out today, and I have to say that from the little bit I have just watched, it looks absolutely AMAZING!! :D I'm trying to hold off watching it until later tonight but my willpower isn't that great :o:p

    There are 3 features in it

    1..The Show
    2..The Midnight Tango Story (Flavia, Vincent, Arlene, Karen Bruce all talking about it)
    3...A little bit of a Tango lesson from V&F

    If you haven't ordered a copy then I really would recommend getting one, as it is a fabulous show, and the DVD looks great :)

    Here is a great review from Loulabelle - @StrictlyTweeter

    Would someone please tell me how long the stage is likely to go on for please? I'm thinking of taking my wife for a surprise London trip and want to book an evening supper table.

    Many thanks in anticipation

    Last year I am pretty sure it was almost two hours long including interval, but Flavia has said next years will be 'bigger and better' - Not sure if that means length wise or content wise. I would guess at maybe 2 hours.

    Am loving the sound of the new cast. Some impressive dancers there, in particular Leandro and Romina.
