BWW Reviews: BURN THE FLOOR in Cincinnati

Now through January 30th, the sensational Burn the Floor is heating up the Aronoff Center in Cincinnati. With a talented cast of 23, including both dancers and two vocalists, the show is a non-stop dance spectacular that leaves everyone breathless.

Burn the Floor features both standard ballroom dances as well as Latin dances, performed by a cast of international and award-winning dancers. Two percussionists are featured on the stage and vocalists accompany the music at times, giving a nightclub feel to many of the numbers. Many well-known songs are performed, including "Magalena," "Sing Sing Sing (with a Swing)," "I'm a Ding Dong Daddy," "Proud Mary," and "Turn the Beat Around."

While Burn the Floor is a show without a plot and unlike anything else you'll see in the Broadway Across America series this season, stories are still told through the passionate Paso Doble or the romantic Viennese Waltz. Burn the Floor includes many of the dances made popular on shows like Dancing with the Stars, including the Cha Cha, Jive, Quickstep, Rumba, and others (although Burn the Floor started before Dancing with the Stars became the top rated show it is now).

Burn the Floor is show filled with nonstop excitement and entertainment, making it a great show to see. The dances transition to different styles smoothly and the dancers are electric on stage. And you can't help but leave with an appreciation for their talent and marvel about how they move.

BURN THE FLOOR will play the Aronoff Center from January 18-30, 2011: Tuesday through Friday evenings at 8:00 p.m., Saturdays at 2 & 8:00 p.m., and Sundays at 1 and 6:30 p.m. Tickets range in price from $22.50-$62.50 and may be purchased online at BroadwayAcrossAmerica.com in person at the Broadway Across America Box Office downtown in the Mercantile Center at 120 E. 4th Street, and the Aronoff Center Box Office or by phone at 1-800-982-2787
