Burn The Floor
at Shaftesbury Theatre
Burn The Floor is a breathtaking blend of Latin and Ballroom dance first conceived as a special performance at Sir Elton John's 50th birthday celebration in 1997. Two years later the show made its world premiere in the UK and quickly took the globe by storm.
From Harlem's hot nights at The Savoy, where dances such as the Lindy, Foxtrot and Charleston were born to the Latin Quarter where the Cha-Cha, Rumba and Salsa steamed up the stage, Burn The Floor takes audiences on a journey through the passionate drama of dance. The elegance of the Viennese Waltz, the exuberance of the Jive, the intensity of the Paso Doble - audiences will experience them all, as well as the Tango, Samba, Mambo, Quickstep and Swing.
Burn The Floor brings the talents of 20 award winning international dancers from around the globe - Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Russia, Australia, Sweden, The Philippines and the U.S.- and includes Australian Ballroom and World Latin American champions.
The dancers, who collectively hold more than 100 dance titles, move to the vision of artistic director and choreographer Jason Gilkison.
