An Irish Riverdance spectacular, Argentine tango and a new Spanish flamenco version of “Carmen” will be staged next month and in January.
On December 6 and 7, the producers of Riverdance will stage a new music and dance spectacular “Heartbeat of Home” at the Shanghai Grand Stage. It’s part of Irish Riverdance’s world tour starting in Beijing.
The high-energy show features dynamic elements of traditional Irish, Latin and Afro-Cuban music and dance. The score is composed by Golden Globe nominated composer Brian Byrne.
To attract younger audiences, the show employs high-definition 3D projection technology and has an engaging narrative structure.

Tango is known for its fire, and the performances will be a mixture of tango and modern dance, salsa and tango-milonga.
Tango dancers are envied for their extraordinary footwork, and even Argentine football players dance tango.
