If you are looking for pure high energy entertainment along with some great dancing then you need not look far. If you need to watch dancers dancing to great tunes, dancers in extraordinary costumes, dancers who entertain you with a variety of dance forms, you need to be at the Longacre Theatre on Broadway. From waltz to fox trot, tango to cha-cha, samba to rumba and boogie-woogie, you can see it all at Burn The Floor.
The show has a mix of Latin and Ballroom dances, ranging from waltze to the modern pop; the music encompasses many different genres across different times; and excellent dancers from around the world. Burn The Floor is the artistic vision of Jason Gilkison who directs and choreographs the performances of dancers from Australia, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, The Philippines Russia, Sweden, the United States, and other countries. The cast also includes Australian Ballroom and World Latin American champions. Gilkison himself was once a World Champion Latin and Ballroom dancer.
