Welcome to Oti Mabuse’s Dancing Legends

Oti Mabuse's Dancing Legends

Available for over a year

In each episode, Oti catches up with a big star from the world of dance. From ballet sensation Misty Copeland, to award-winning choreographer Matthew Bourne, and from Oti’s own heroes, like the South African dancer Kitty Phetla, to her Strictly buddies like Arlene Phillips and Ryan Francois. Along the way, Oti finds out about her guest’s heroes – the dancers who inspired them, fired them up, and made them who they are today. From Josephine Baker, the quick-stepping queen of Charleston, to Michael Flatley, the man who re-invented Irish Traditional Dancing for a modern audience. People who’ve dared to dance in a new way, breaking moulds and tearing up the rule books. From ballet to tap, from Argentinian Tango to Charleston to Hip Hop, these are stories of people that will inspire and delight everyone.
