Burn The Floor is back in SA and makes its way to Sibaya this June

The internationally acclaimed theatrical ballroom spectacular, Burn the Floor is back in South Africa and makes its way to Sibaya Casino and Entertainment Kingdom in KwaZulu-Natal this June.

Now in its 15th year, the show has been reenergized in a new audio visual spectacular, Burn the Floor: Fire in The Ballroom. This enthralling show has earned rave reviews from audiences in Gauteng and the Western Cape and now it KwaZulu-Natal’s turn to see what all the fuss is about.


“We are thrilled to confirm that Burn the Floor will be coming to our stage, adding sizzle and spice to our winter entertainment lineup. Burn the Floor promises a captivating and electrifying dance and music spectacular that will have audiences breathless. This is certain to be one of the highlights of our calendar this year,” says Belinda Jelf, the marketing Manager at Sibaya.

Burn The Floor is the show that revolutionised the image of dance, inspiring television reality dance shows such as So You Think You Can Dance and Dancing with the Stars. The production was originally designed as a special performance in 1997 for Sir Elton John’s 50th birthday celebration.  At the height of the festivities, a group of sixteen young dancers brought the house down with a ten-minute dance cabaret.  This inspired what would become the international sensation Burn The Floor.  Since then, the show has toured in 30 countries and over 160 cities worldwide.  It has achieved sold-out seasons on Broadway and in London’s West End.

While the production has no spoken dialogue, it does tell a story, and it brings a whole new meaning to ballroom dancing.  The new edition of the show, Burn The Floor: Fire In The Ballroom has the same rebellious spirit as the previous editions, though more daring with a theatrical rock angle – including music from Santana, Janis Joplin, Christina Aguilera and Led Zeppelin.
 
Burn The Floor has the reputation of being the world’s toughest dance show and the dancers are handpicked to embrace a new Latin American feel.  The company of 12 international champion dancers, two singers and two guitarists now includes the extraordinary talent of South African Johannes Radebe, recently the runner-up in TV’s Strictly Come Dancing SA and his partner from Pretoria, Kylee Brown.

Burn the Floor: Fire in The Ballroom will run from 8 to 19 June 2016 at the iZulu Theatre, Sibaya. Show times are 20h00 on Wednesday to Friday, and 15h00 and 20h00 on Saturday and Sunday. Tickets cost R285 per person at Computicket.
