BURN THE FLOOR, the international touring ballroom dance show that originated in London, will return this summer for a limited West End season at the Shaftesbury Theatre, beginning performances July 21 (prior to an official opening July 26) for a run through Sept. 4. The West End production features special guest stars Brian Fortuna & Ali Bastian.

The tremendous fan base of BURN THE FLOOR enthusiasts include ballroom dancers, and fans from around the globe. The show recently played Broadway's Longacre Theater for a successful extended run in 2009-2010. BURN THE FLOOR is a blend of Latin and Ballroom dance and was first conceived as a special performance at Sir Elton John's 50th birthday celebrations in 1997. Two years later, the full show received its world premiere in the U.K. before going on to tour globally to over 30 countries.

For the UK run, the cast of the show are using Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and other social media outlets to keep in contact with the fans during rehearsals and preview performances. More information and ticket sales can be found at http://burnthefloor.com/.

BURN THE FLOOR is produced by Harley Medcalf, Joe Watson, and Peter Grey Terhune with Richard Levi, Richard Frankel, Tom Viertel, Steven Baruch, Marc Routh, Raise the Roof One, Toppall/Stevens/Mills, Benigno/Klein, Caldwell/Allen, Carrpailet/Danzansky, Bud Martin, The Production Studio, and Schaffert/Schnuck.
