"Extraordinary…Impressive…Fabulous” - The Independent, London
Ballroom dancing has always been about a man and a woman. Moving together
up close and personal. Today stripped back to its soul it is hot, sweaty and
sexy. This is Ballroom dancing in the new millennium.
This is Floor Play.
If you couldn’t get enough of the Latino beats and body shimmying of TV
favourites – ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, and ‘So You Think You Can Dance’, now’
s your chance to witness Ballroom and Latin dancing taken to the next level.
Filmed at Australia’s Canberra Theatre, Warner Music Entertainment
introduces super hot ‘Burn The Floor – FloorPlay’ out to own on DVD from
19th May. Combining passion and love of dance with aspects of modern
theatre, this electrifying live show captures all the glamour and party
atmosphere you'd expect from such a fusion of dance styles.
Coinciding with the current tour which is taking the world by storm and the
Blackpool Dance Festival (22nd-29th May), FloorPlay is conceived, directed
and choreographed by World Champion Ballroom dancer Jason Gilkison - the man
behind the skilled choreography of the original ‘Burn the Floor’ which has
now been seen by over a staggering 3 million people worldwide.
The original Burn the Floor concept emerged from a stunning display of Latin
dancing at Elton John’s 50th birthday party back in 1997. That show went on
to successfully tour 15 countries. The new FloorPlay spectacular is an
extension of the concept that is now appealing not just to the regular dance
show fans but also to the devoted dance lovers who appreciate and recognise
quality and expert dance routines and moves.
FloorPlay features a hand picked cast of talented, award winning dancers.
The show itself oozes hot, steamy sex appeal with its set of 20 male and
female dancers sauntering their way through waltzes, flinging and flaunting
themselves to the Cha Cha Cha, Rumba and Samba, demanding their audiences to
leave all perceptions of Ballroom Dancing at the front door!
This dazzling and action packed DVD features the new show, backstage tour,
interviews with the dancers, and never before seen footage of the history of
Burn the Floor on tour, giving viewers an insight into life backstage and on
stage.
Out to own on DVD from 19th May from Warner Music Entertainment, watch Burn
the Floor – FloorPlay, the dance extravaganza unfold before your very eyes
and let you feet sing to the beats of this breathtaking, action-packed,
sensual and ultimately inspiring an show stopping entertainment performance.
The DVD is released on May 19th, 2008, and it runs for 103 mins and retails for £12.99,
but is currently on Amazon at the link above for £9.74.
