The ballroom spectacular Burn the Floor is back in China, with the cast performing a 10th anniversary reprise nightly at the Beizhan Theater to February 4, 2008. Burn the Floor, which began as a dance demonstration at Elton John's 50th birthday party in 1997, is a high-energy, heart-pounding display by champion dance couples from fifteen different countries. The show combines the elegant sophistication of ballroom dancing with the strut and sensuality of rock and roll.

 

It first captivated Beijing in 2006, breaking the audience record held by River Dance. Burn the Floor brings to life many styles of dance including rhumba, samba, cha cha, waltz, jive, jitterbug, swing, mambo, salsa, tango and quickstep. Unique choreography is then amplified by dazzling costumes, invigorating music, and rock concert lighting.

 

Touring since 1999, Burn the Floor has received standing ovations from audiences throughout Australia, the United Kingdom, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, Denmark, Monaco, and the United States.

 

From ballroom dance to modern to swing and even a touch of ballet, the dancers glitter, spin, and jump across the huge dance floor. The physicality and skill of the dancers is truly wonderful to watch. Dance enthusiasts shouldn't miss this one.
