00:00what's the concept of the show well viva carnival is as kind of the name suggests it's going to be

00:13one big party that's what i know and i guess i'm there to bring a slightly different element to

00:19the show with maybe an essence of tango so it's a little bit more moody of course whenever you

00:25choreograph a show and you create a show you want it to have light and shade so as much as it's going

00:31to be an overall party we i'm sure we're going to want to have moments where it's a little bit

00:35calmer so that we can you know make the most of them the high moments so that's kind of i think

00:42what i'll be bringing to the show but in essence you're going to come and have an amazing time

00:46it's going to be incredible music the atmosphere is going to be electric and uh yeah and overall

00:52it's going to be a fab night out really well obviously bringing the show to blackpool so can

00:57i ask how you're feeling about that trip i love blackpool one of my favorite places um so yeah i

01:04mean i i first i went to blackpool i was probably 13 14 and it was for you know obviously the winter

01:10gardens or the tower and i've been back many times so yeah i think for most dancers heart blackpool has

01:16a real big place in you know our hearts and we spent a lot of time there um i also have one of

01:23my best friends russell grant lives there now so it's going to be amazing to see him there hopefully

01:42you know fun up there and it is really the capital of of dance i'm back there in july again doing a

01:47workshop i mean there's so many dance events up there that are held that it's um yeah it's a really

01:53special place with blackpool being at the heart of a lot of dance people's history essentially do you

02:00think it'll feel different for you dancing on the stage there i've danced on stage there several times

02:06with my other previous shows and the audience is always you know they're always amazing but it's

02:11going to be lovely to be back yeah it's going to be really nice i'm going to look forward to

02:15going to some of the venues i've been to before and it will be you know six years now um that i

02:22haven't been on the stage so it's going to be really exciting i mean i have a whole load of mixed

02:26emotions obviously i'm really excited i'm a little bit apprehensive because it's obviously been a while

02:32so i'm going to just try and channel all of those emotions into kind of positive adrenaline because

02:38it could get a bit overwhelming otherwise but predominantly i'm just very excited and also very

02:44grateful that i have this opportunity you know to to be able to get back on stage

02:49godless of where people are in the uk why should they get tickets to see you in viva carnival

02:55well as i said i've not performed for six years which is um you know it's quite a long time

03:01and i guess it's a little bit um not everybody kind of has a break and then has a comeback as well

03:09and this is just a start it's just the first stepping stone back into it but i'm fortunate

03:14enough that you know i feel like i have the the energy and the uh mental and physical kind of i'm in

03:19a place where i can do that and i had such great support from everybody from audiences all over

03:25the uk for eight years when i was touring with vincent that i hope that um they can come again

03:30and support me and enjoy you know the show and any other projects that i go on to doing really and

03:39hopefully if they got some enjoyment before they'll get more enjoyment now this is the start of the

03:45long return is there anything else fabulous you'd like to mention that you've got coming up
