Ian Waite and Vincent Simone in The Ballroom Boys.

So what made the two popular professionals join up for a so-called boys’ tour?

Ian said: “With so many Strictly tours going out on the road in 2019, we wanted to do something a bit different, so Vincent and I spoke about a boys’ reunion and The Ballroom Boys idea came to life!”

Argentine tango legend Vincent and king of the ballroom Ian will be joined by two professional female dancers and a vocalist. The night will be packed with dances, songs and banter! Expect the waltz, quickstep, paso doble, foxtrot and of course, the Argentine tango.

Simone said: “I’m looking forward to working with Ian again! As you know, we are both quite funny, if I say so myself!”

The Ballroom Boys are coming to the Pomegranate Theatre, Chesterfield on Thursday, May 16. Box office: www.chesterfieldtheatres.co.uk
