Darren & Lilia are joined by four leading Latin American dancing duos, a live Latin band and a singing duo for their breathtaking voyage through the world of Latin American dance, which takes them from the streets of Brazil to the bullrings of Spain by way of a vibrant mix of dance styles including the rumba, the cha-cha-cha and of course the tango.
The show includes an explosion of Brazilian rhythms at the Carnival in Rio before moving to the sultry clubs of Buenos Aires to be seduced by the passion and intensity of tango.
Cuba beckons with the cheeky cha-cha-cha and rumba.
Then its time to boogie to the American dance halls of the 1930s for the swing and jitterbug.
Finally, the passion, aggression and drama of the Spanish bull ring is brought to life in the glorious paso doble.
The show includes music that evokes the Latin feeling with songs including Fever, Brazil, Besame Mucho, Perhaps and Livin’ La Vida Loca.
