Should I See It?

What is Burn the Floor like?
Burn the Floor is packed with “How did they do that?” moments as the world-class dancers perform lifts, intricate footwork and thrilling group dances choreographed by former world champ Jason Gilkison. The action never lags during the show’s 25 numbers, many of which are accompanied by a pair of singers and a lively onstage quartet (as well as recorded music). The two acts are loosely divided into sections that move from classic to contemporary dance, but you’ll be too busy watching these amazing performers strut their stuff to glance down at your program. If you’ve missed seeing pure dance on a Broadway stage, this is the show for you!
 
Is Burn the Floor good for kids?
There’s a sexy undertone to this show (and lots of skimpy costumes!), but overall, Burn the Floor is fine for kids, especially if they enjoy watching ballroom-based TV reality series such as Dancing with the Stars.
