Burn The Floor
Shaftesbury Theatre, 210 Shaftesbury Avenue, LondonBurn The Floor is the dance show that thrilled crowds around the world long before Strictly Come Dancing re-popularised latin and ballroom dancing.
Now the West End gets to see the firey, passionate live performance that is Burn The Floor, featuring special guest dancers Brian Fortuna and Ali Bastian, who wowed BBC audiences on Strictly Come Dancing last year, coming third in the reality dance show.
First conceived as a special performance at Sir Elton John's 50th birthday celebrations in 1997, Burn The Floor made its UK premiere two years later before setting off on a world tour.
Burn The Floor takes audiences on a journey through the passionate drama of dance, including the elegance of the Viennese Waltz, the exhuberance of the Jive, the intensity of the Paso Doble as well as the Tango, Samba, Mambo, Quickstep and Swing.
Burn The Floor features the talents of 20 award-winning dancers from around the globe.
