Vincent and Flavia are performing on Alan Titchmarsh show this afternoon ( ITV 3pm) - I think they're on at around 3.30/3.40.

Interview & performance so one not to be missed.

I can't wait to see them dance again on TV... It's been too long.

Thanks for the heads-up! I love V and F. Did you see them on tour earlier in the year? They were sublime.

Yes, I'm a huge fan and have seen them several times now.... They are wonderful.

Can't wait to see this performance. Apparently a standing ovation at the end which doesn't generally happen on the Titchmarsh show so they must be as good as we've come to expect.

You might be interested to know that they are on ITV Lorraine show tomorrow too, and then the National Lottery show on Saturday. ( Not sure if performing but definitely pressing the button so buy a ticket. Might be lucky!)

If you are online you can go to ITV Player and watch live.

Great dancers. But not nearly as good as several of my AT teachers who I see close up several times a week.

But thanks to Vincent & Flavia on SCD I took up AT a year and a bit ago

I give them their due, they are marketing their show brilliantly, and SCD season is the ideal time.

Vincent tries not to watch as it makes him 'ormonal

Amazing performance!

Oh how I have missed them.... that was wonderful.

SO good to see them back on TV dancing and the Titchmarsh Show had beautiful setting and lighting for them. Glad I recorded it, I will be watching LOTS!

P.S Flavia is stunning!!

First time there has been a standing ovation on The Titchmarsh Show apparently (obv Brucie would have changed that long before now if he had been in charge ) .... well done Vincent & Flavia

If you missed it earlier, or just want to watch it again you can already catch it on ITVPlayer They are on quite near the end of the show.

Thanks for the info. I love their Argentine tango dancing, but really wish Vincent would drop the "Aren't I wonderful" act - it's getting stale now.

I take it that your AT teachers have all been World AT Champions then if they are so much better than Flavia and Vincent.

Thanks! I really enjoyed that. She's very cute, he's funny, and their Argentine tango is just breathtaking.

I'll just add this in here too since it's another TV appearance from Vincent & Flavia - An interview on 'Lorraine' from earlier today

I believe Flavia and Vincent are / were World AT Showdance champions. Different thing altogether and quite appropriate for SCD which has a lot of show dancing.

Flavia and Vincent are pretty good and inspired me to take up the real thing. So I am quite grateful - though any mention of them at a London milonga would ether generate a "Who?" or a snigger.

Plenty of outstanding AT on youtube - and everyday at Milongas in London.

How not as good? They are world champions?

They are pretty good (World Champions I understand) at what they do - AT Showdance. Different genre to AT. I shouldn't really comment on Vincent & Flavia's skills at AT - they just don't do it.

AT seldom has even a single lift (if that) or any time at all out of hold - in fact pretty much 100% cheek-to-cheek or forehead-to-forehead.

One of my teachers Leandro Palou is generally regarded as the best AT dancer in Europe.

As you can see it is quite different from AT Showdance. But I am pretty grateful to Vincent & Flavia for having given me a taste of AT on SCD and inspiring me to dance it.

How good of you 😳

Oh Leandro?... Yeah he is pretty good. He was one of Vincent and Flavia's backing dancers in Midnight Tango if I remember right so he definitely wouldn't be saying "Who?" when asked about them

P.S Henry.... Vincent himself actually mentions near the end of this clip that what they do for 'show' is different to authentic Argentine Tango that would be danced socially but I for one would still prefer to watch them dance than almost any other AT dancer

He would know. As would his current partner Maria who I think was also involved in the Midnight Tango show.

But I have never heard SCD or Midnight Tango mentioned in AT circles.

Vincent and Flavia are much bigger brands in the UK by way of SCD. So they will attract dancers looking for a pay packet.

In the same way the SCD band and singers are much better musicians than all of the pop groups that turn up on SCD. Often the case with backing musicians / dancers.

If we are talking about world standard then these two couples are probably the best

As can be seen very different from AT Showdance.

But I don't mean to "diss" Vincent & Flavia. They are still my favourites of all the current and past SCD pros.
