Professional dancer and twice winner of Strictly Come Dancing, Oti Mabuse, continues her journey looking at the dancers and choreographers who have made a huge impact on dance.

In this episode, Oti sits down with Strictly Come Dancing alumnus Vincent Simone. Vincent co-created the Olivier nominated show Midnight to Tango and with his dance partner Flavia Cacace, won the UK Argentine Tango Championships in 2006.

Vincent loves Argentine Tango and he credits the legendary Maria Nieves as being his inspiration. Nieves helped to bring tango to audiences around the world and made the dance visible when it was banned by the authorities.

Author Christine Denniston helps to tell the story of this talented dancer, with archive clips and music. Oti also wants to learn the dancing style of Nieves, and she joins Tango dancers Leandro Palou and Maria TsiaTsiani in the dance studio.
