Flavia Cacace (born 13 March 1979 in Naples), is an Italian professional dancer. Her professional dance partner is Vincent Simone, and both regularly appear on the BBCs ''Strictly Come Dancing.'' Their brand name when performing together is VincentandFlavia

Biography

She was born in Naples, the youngest of six children to a chef father, and came to England with her family at the age of four when her father moved for a job. She attended St Peter's School, Guildford and left in 1995.

Dancing career

Her mother insisted that all the children should have an activity, so she and her eldest sister joined the local ballroom dancing class aged 6. After partnerships with two dance partners, Cacace and Simone (who had the same dance teacher in London) were both looking for partners and they decided to try out in 1994—they have been dancing together ever since.

''Strictly Come Dancing''

In 2006, she appeared on the fourth series of the BBC's ''Strictly Come Dancing''. Her celebrity dancing partner for the show was Jimmy Tarbuck. However, the couple withdrew after only one show, due to reasons concerning Jimmy's health.

Flavia was back dancing in the fifth series of the show, partnered by ''EastEnders'' star Matt Di Angelo. They got the only perfect score of the main series with their waltz in the semi-final. They reached the final of the show, but were beaten by Alesha Dixon and her professional partner Matthew Cutler. She also took part in the 2007 Xmas special dancing a Rumba with partner Matt, and achieved a score of 39. Cacace and Di Angelo also competed together in the live tour of ''Strictly Come Dancing'' in January and February 2008. They won more shows than any other couple, coming first overall sixteen times and second a further ten times (out of a total of forty shows).

Flavia took part in the sixth series of ''Strictly Come Dancing'', partnered by actor Phil Daniels who was eliminated in the first week after a dance-off against Don Warrington despite Gary Rhodes being bottom after the judges' scores.

In late 2008, Flavia decided to take part in a ''Strictly Come Dancing'' special for Children in Need 2008 where she partnered the presenter Terry Wogan against Tess Daly, partnered by Anton Du Beke, who ended up as the winners.

Flavia took part in the 2009 SCD Live tour partnering former ''Strictly Come Dancing'' semi-finalist Gethin Jones. They went on to win 6 shows out of 45 in total, coming second to her professional partner Vincent Simone and Rachel Stevens.

Flavia returned to ''Strictly Come Dancing'' for the seventh series in 2009, partnering ''Coronation Street'' and ''Queer as Folk'' actor, Craig Kelly. Flavia and Craig found themselves in the bottom two in second week against Lilia Kopylova and Richard Dunwoody, and were forced to perform their tango again. They won judges votes from 3 of the 4 judges, and consequently made it through to the third week of competition. They were also in the bottom two in week 4 against Darren Bennett and Lynda Bellingham. Two judges saved them and as Len Goodman had the deciding vote they went through to the next week. In week 5 they got their lowest score of the competition so far and were at the bottom of the leaderboard. However, they were saved from the dance off by the public. They were eliminated in Week 8 of the competition when the show went to Blackpool after performning a Cha cha cha.

Flavia then went on to dance once more with her tour partner of the previous year Gethin Jones in the 2009 Xmas Special. They danced an American Smooth to 'Baby It's Cold Outside' and achieved a score of 38. She then created choreography for Gethin's Cinderella panto which ran at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in her home town of Guildford and had a small guest appearance in the final show.

Flavia is currently featured in the eighth series of the dancing show along with professional partner Vincent, where her celebrity partner is Jimi Mistry. In the first week their dance was given a score of 26 and they went on to make it to week 5 where they were knocked out by Michelle Williams and Brendan Cole. It was a shock exit for everyone.
