The world’s most prolific ballroom and dance
theatre production, Burn the Floor,
returns to South Africa for a much-anticipated tour across the country later
this year. The show is set to dazzle local audiences with its spectacular dance
moves and sizzling ballroom displays on stage and you shouldn’t miss it for the
world!
Burn The Floor is a global production
that has revolutionised the image of Ballroom dance across the world, and is
set to visit South Africa for the fourth time in August and September this
year, in what has been dubbed as Burn The
Floor – The Rebel Tour.
With the reputation of being the world's
toughest dance show, the international cast of dance champions are handpicked
for their rebellious spirit and pure skill.
Burn The Floor – The Rebel Tour, also known as
"The Rebels of Ballroom", sees an international dancing cast showing
off their passionate and sexy dance skills on stage, and it includes South
African Latin Champion, Kylee Brown. South Africans will also witness the sweet
vocals of sultry songstress, Lelo Ramasimong – who is currently a finalist in
local music reality TV show, The Voice SA
– throughout the SA tour.
Choreographed and directed by Peta Roby, Burn The Floor – The Rebel Tour, has
more surprises in store and promises to blow the roof off the theatre,
including music from Rag and Boneman, James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Santana,
Janis Joplin, and Led Zeppelin.
The original concept of Burn The Floor grew from an electric display of ballroom and Latin
dancing at Sir Elton John’s 50th birthday party in London, March 1997. There,
producer Harley Medcalf discovered the ballroom dance world and its charismatic
people, with their deep intensity, commitment, discipline, burning passion and
total love of the ballroom art form.
Initially, Harley’s idea of a new theatrical
ballroom production sent shock waves through the ballroom dancing
establishment. For decades, ballroom competitions had been performed behind
closed doors, as a pastime for the privileged. And well before reality television
embraced it with such shows as Dancing
with The Stars and Strictly Come
Dancing.
Burn The Floor opened in England in 1999.
A decade later, after visiting 30 countries and over 160 cities worldwide, it
achieved its long standing dream, to bring Ballroom to Broadway - appearing at
the Longacre Theatre in New York, followed by two hugely successful seasons in
London’s West End.
Burn The Floor – The Rebel Tour is brought to
South Africa by Dance Partner Productions and will have performances in Durban
at Sibaya Casino and Entertainment Kingdom from September 12 to 29, 2019.
Tickets R285 and booking is through Computicket
