The world's most prolific ballroom and dance theatre production, Burn the Floor, returns to South Africa for the fourth time, for what has been dubbed as Burn The Floor - The Rebel Tour.
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 thirty countries and over one hundred and sixty 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.
