Reinventing The Art Of Movement
Since its inception, the live dance show has paved the way for a new vision of international-style ballroom dancing, adding a bold and fiery edge to performances. Burn the Floor: Ballroom Reinvented will showcase standard ballroom dances such as the Slow Waltz, Tango, Viennese Waltz, and Foxtrot, alongside Latin American ballroom dances including the Cha-Cha, Samba, Rumba, Paso Doble, and Jive.
Audiences can expect every dance to be performed with the same heart-pounding energy that has captivated audiences across the globe, from Broadway to London’s West End.
“I wanted to create a showcase that is a fusion of the wonderful traditions of ballroom dancing, a combination of the sensuality, discipline, and commitment of the dancers, with the technology, creativity, and energy of a rock and roll production,” shares Burn the Floor founder and producer Harley Medcalf.
With a legacy spanning 27 years and performances in over 180 cities and 30 countries, Burn the Floor has toured extensively across Japan, China, Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia, India, South Africa, Europe, the UK, and the USA, bringing its high-energy performance to audiences worldwide. Throughout the years, it has earned its reputation as “the toughest dance company in the world.” The show’s mantra, “No fear, no boundaries,” represents its goal of pushing the limits of ballroom dance, turning it into an unforgettable theatrical spectacle.
“Manila is a city with a deep love for performance and dance,” Medcalf adds. “We couldn’t be more thrilled to bring Burn the Floor to this incredible audience, and we absolutely can’t wait for Filipinos to experience our world-class dancers’s energy, passion, and sheer brilliance, as this show is a true celebration of movement, music, and raw emotion.”
