Burn the Floor was originally conceived after a
special performance for Elton John’s 50th Birthday in 1997 and two
years later the show made its world premiere in the UK in Bournemouth. Since
then it has played in over 300 cities. The show played the Shaftesbury Theatre
in 2010 between the closing of Hairspray and the opening of Flashdance and has
now returned thirteen years after it originally opened in the UK to fill the
theatre before ‘From Here to Eternity’ opens in October.
The show
is made up of a selection of all different dances, from Rumba to Jive and The Waltz
to the Tango. This sassy production provides a range of beautifully executed dances
that will make you want to join them up there. The energy that was oozing off
that stage was tremendous. Although the show doesn’t have any sort of narrative
as a whole it still is a fabulous showcase of the astounding dancing skills
that were on that stage.
