Years before Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance turned ballroom dancing into must-see TV, one sizzling show was setting stages ablaze around the globe. BURN THE FLOOR, the electrifying Latin and Ballroom dance spectacular that has thrilled audiences in over 30 countries, will be the first show of the new Broadway season, playing a limited 12-week engagement. Previews will begin on July 25 and opening night is Sunday August 2 at The Longacre Theatre (220 W. 48 St.).
BURN THE FLOOR is created, directed and choreographed by Jason Gilkison, former World Champion Latin and Ballroom dancer, and guest choreographer on the fourth season of So You Think You Can Dance.
Critics and fans around the world have raved about BURN THE FLOOR: The Independent (London) said “Extraordinary! So hot it contributes to global warming. BURN THE FLOOR will take your breath away!”

To be respectgully honest, Burn The floor consists of the BEST Latin Ballroom dancers in the world. They amaze you with their incredible dance moves. The show also consists of two vocalists, one being my self and another Kieron Kulik who is a tripple treat as he sings, dances and acts at the same time and will keep you thoroughly entertained. And two incredible percussionsts who will keep you on your feet
