The ultimate dance extravaganza will debut in Victoria this March travelling around regional centres and featuring some of Australia's most loved dancers. “Ballroom Blitz” is the latest sensation from the visionary producers of "Celtic Illusion”. Choreographed by the remarkable Aric Yegudkin, three-time Dancing with the Stars champion, this show is a breathtaking fusion of elegance, energy, and mind-blowing ballroom dance.
“Ballroom Blitz” takes traditional ballroom dance and mixes it with cutting-edge choreography. The result is a mesmerising display of skill and passion performed to a soundtrack that includes favorites from Buble, Desree, Elvis, Due Lipa, Sam Smith and more. Aric Yegudkin's artistry takes centre stage guiding the audience on an awe-inspiring spectacle where rhythm meets romance and passion ignites the dance floor. Audiences will be transported to a world where every step tells a story, and every move ignites the senses.
