The concept of 'greatest hits' is familiar in music, with a whole section of the industry dedicated to reissues and compilations. In contemporary dance, it's rare - and risky. Yet Tavaziva Ten - a selection of ten of the company's most popular pieces from the past ten years - manages to combine old classics with spine-tingling new choreography.

Tavaziva Dance was founded in 2004, by Zimbabwean Bawren Tavaziva. From the outset, Bawren strove to fuse African and European styles. The result has been cutting-edge dance, enhanced by music and visuals. The company is renowned not just for its electric performances, but for its community and youth work.

The pieces on offer tonight are short, but explosive. Many are inspired by Bawren's journeys, metaphorical and physical. The opening work draws on a trip to Malawi; the second thinks about how an 'outsider' travels through the UK contemporary dance scenes. A number of the pieces speak of political events: My Friend Robert questions the influence of Mugabe from a fresh perspective, while Mandela is a tribute to the recently-departed South African leader. Africa's endangered species and the AIDS epidemic are also discussed, kinetically. Perhaps the most powerful piece is Secret Intimacies - a sensual duet which deals with Africa's unease about same-sex relationships.

Contemporary dance has a mixed reputation. By some, it’s considered flouncy, abstract, self-involved. But an evening with Tavaziva Ten's powerful performers shifts perceptions. Their strength and bodies seem particularly impressive in an intimate space like the Pegasus. Bawren's distinctive choreography is acutely aware of the world outside dance. Indeed, he tries to use the medium to express feelings about wider events. The performance is also accessible: no knowledge of Tazavia's past ten years seems necessary to be moved by the dancers tonight.
