 Think of ballroom dancing as stiff, sequined formality? Think again.
In their red-hot show, Floorplay, Burn The Floor brings sexy back to Melbourne audiences, with a youthful, rebellious flair - mixing the sensual and physical chemistry of Ballroom and Latin dancing with a 21st century edge that has had international critics and audiences swooning.
Burn The Floor is a breathtaking blend of Samba, Salsa, Waltz, Tango, Swing and Jive that attracted international attention with a performance at Elton John's spectacular 50th birthday celebration.
Nine years later, with Producers Harley Medcalf, Peta Roby and Jason Gilkison at the helm, Burn The Floor continues to storm the world's stages - selling more than 3 million tickets in over 30 countries.
In Melbourne, this new production of Floorplay sees Burn The Floor's award-winning troupe of twenty international performers - including Australian Ballroom dancing champions, World Latin American champions and dancers from the United States, Britain, Germany, Italy, Asia, Holland and Slovakia - all move to the vision of artistic director and choreographer Jason Gilkison, in a steamy, provocative display that turns up the heat…hotter than ever before.
Ballroom dancing has always been about two people moving together - up close and personal.
Burn The Floor’s Floorplay strips the pretence away. Hot, sweaty and sexily soulful.
Costumes dazzling with colour, lithe, lean dancers bursting with unbridled energy and music that will set pulses racing.
From Harlem’s hot nights at The Savoy, where dances such as the Lindy and Fox Trot were born, to the Latin Quarter where the Cha-Cha, Rumba and Salsa steam up the stage, Burn The Floor’s Floorplay takes you on a toe-tapping journey through the passionate drama of dance.
New York Post called it: “a dazzling Latin Ballroom dance spectacle"
If dancing really is the new black, Burn The Floor’s Floorplay brings it to a level of dramatic sophistication never before seen.
