A breathtaking blend of samba, salsa, waltz, tango, swing, and jive music that attracted international attention a decade ago with an excerpt performance at Elton John's spectacular 50th birthday celebration, Burn the Floor has been a wildly popular stage show ever since, selling more than three million tickets in over 30 countries. Filmed at Australia's Canberra Theatre, this dazzling performance demonstrates the truth of producer/director/choreographer Jason Gilkison's contention: namely, that ballroom dancing can be an incredibly passionate, even sexy experience. This new production—subtitled “Floor Play”—features Burn the Floor's award-winning troupe of 20 international performers, including dancers from the hit TV shows Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance, in a steamy, provocative display of terpsichorean talent sure to appeal to fans of Riverdance. Spectacular routines revolving around familiar tunes (including “You Make Me Feel Like Dancing,” “Sing Sing Sing,” “Tainted Love,” and “Proud Mary”) are enhanced here by dynamic orchestral arrangements (presented in Dolby Digital stereo) and vivid lighting effects, making for solid entertainment. Recommended. Aud: P. (E. Hulse)
