Burn the Floor – Fire in the Ballroom
The true rebels of ballroom “Burn the Floor” are heading back to Joburg with a stunning new production.
JOHANNESBURG – Audiences will be thrilled with the news that Strictly Come Dancing runner up, Johannes Radebe, will be joining the cast as a fully-fledged part of this international dance sensation.
Burn The Floor – “Fire in the Ballroom” will run on the Mandela stage at Joburg Theatre, Braamfontein for a limited season from September 16 to October 3.
Crafted over the past two years by groundbreaking choreographers Jason Gilkison and Peta Roby, the hit dance sensation is currently performing to rapturous European and American audiences.
Burn the Floor’s Executive Producer Nic Notley says, “The new show is totally different than our last production that came to Joburg, and will blow the roof off the theatre! It has the same rebellious spirit, though more daring with a more theatrical rock angle – we have also designed a new set, new costumes and new music including Santana, Janis Joplin, Christina Aguilera and Led Zeppelin. Don’t think twice about returning to see the show – it will be a great night out, I promise!”
Burn the Floor has the reputation of being the “worlds toughest dance show” and the dancers are handpicked to embrace a new Latin American feel. The producers are delighted to have a South African performing on the world tour.
Johannes Radebe, along with his Strictly Come Dancing celebrity partner Leigh-Anne Williams, have had the South African television viewing public on the edge of their seats each week with their deft dance moves and crept into everyone’s hearts as a firm favourite, right up until they were declared runners-up in the recent final held on Friday August 7.
