All about: Burn the Floor Dance Company - Dance Saturday
Hello everybody and welcome back to another blog post,
I wanted to create a dance series that encompasses things in the dance industry that people wouldn't really talk about or see. The series is called "All about:_____," and I'm going to be explaining the new things that choreographers, dancers, and people have come up with that change the way we look at dance and in today's post, I'll be talking about Burn the Floor. Burn the Floor is a ballroom and Latin dance company, produced by Harley Medcalf, that has performed many famous live shows across the world. Some of these places include the West End in London and Broadway in New York City. This incredibly successful theatre group has performed in over 130 different countries and has never failed to deliver on their jaw-dropping, electrifying, and original choreography that intrigues their audiences. Many of the company's cast alumni are recognisable ballroom and Latin world champions that have performed in the hit TV series, Strictly Come Dancing. These dancers include: Kevin and Joanne Clifton, Karen Hauer, Janette Manrara, Aljaž Skorjanec, and many more. Burn the Floor is different to that of other dance companies because it's one of the first to make a purely ballroom and Latin dance company. Whilst Burn the Floor only focuses on one style of dance, the wealth of different dances within the ballroom and Latin dance style, means that their choreography can be different whilst still focusing on one particular style. This has allowed dances like the jive and the cha-cha-cha, to be brought to a new light, by adding a modern and contemporary feel to all the dances. Despite well-known dance shows like Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing with the Stars, ballroom and Latin dance is still sometimes associated with the older generation. However, shows like Burn the Floor, have proven that ballroom and Latin can still compete and the style of dance is still loved by so many. This is what make this company so special.
