Featuring its next generation of extraordinary dancers, including four world tango champions and Quarteto Fuego, the company's quartet of brilliant musicians, Flames of Desire combines the rawness, sophistication and sexiness of tango in an evening of authentic Argentinean dance and intoxicating passion.

What new methodologies are emerging that can help us value the legacy of British dancers who are Black?
What differences, if any, are there between the terms: Black Dance; the work of Black British dancers or British dancers who are Black; Dance of the African Diasporas, African People's Dance?
In order to encourage and support a new generation of dance practitioners, how can we re-imagine the legacy of British dancers who are Black in ways that generate new understanding and appreciation of it?
