TV & Theatre.

After having a very successful amateur dance career Flavia continued her successful dance partnership with Vincent Simone under the brand “Vincent and Flavia” and after several years of performing professionally on the UK dance circuit, they had their first TV break on BBC 1’s TV show “Dance Fever” hosted by Graham Norton. Here they performed several dance routines choreographed by themselves to various music acts.

In 2007 they were spotted and asked to choreograph an Argentine Tango for the celebrities and professionals on BBC’s new and increasingly popular dance show, “Strictly Come Dancing”. The following year they took part in the show as professional dancers partnering with celebrities. During the following 8 years, they had great success and captured the hearts of the nation with their own unique style of Argentine Tango.

As a Strictly pro, Flavia made the final in 2008 and went on to win the Glitterball in 2012 with Olympic gymnast, Louis Smith. Alongside this Flavia also won the Christmas Special in 2013 with Rufus Hound and the Children in Need People’s Champion trophy with her good friend Russell Grant. Their iconic moment live at Wembley, in which Russell was fired out of a cannon during their Jive, was awarded the TV Moment of the Year at the Baftas. One of Flavia’s favourite memories during her time on Strictly was choreographing and performing routines alongside some world-famous music acts like Beyonce, Westlife, and many more.

Since leaving the show in 2013, Flavia and Vincent took their unique brand of dance to the theatre and subsequently toured the U.K. extensively with several dance theatre productions, achieving various accolades, including 2 Olivier Award nominations for family entertainment. They not only starred in but also co-created & co-choreographed each show. Their first production in 2011 was Midnight Tango which toured the U.K. successfully for 3 years and had 2 West End runs: a dance musical based on the Argentine Tango and set in a bar in Buenos Aires.

Over the next 4 years this was followed by Dance ’til Dawn, a musical dance around a comic murder-mystery plot that garnered great reviews and from which Flavia performed a number at the Royal Variety show at the London Palladium in 2013.
