Dance Fever Hits Broadway

There’s nothing like a full-blown dance performance to illuminate stages to the fullest, and that’s exactly what the captivating ballroom dancing Broadway production Burn the Floor has done over its originally-scheduled 12-week limited run, which has now been extended into January 2010. Currently in play at the Longacre Theatre and featuring Dancing with the Stars pros Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff, Burn the Floor has announced its extension through January 3, 2010, months after its original October 18 end date.

Now that the Jason Gilkison-directed and choreographed Broadway production Burn the Floor has announced its extension, it has also welcomed So You Think You Can Dance fan favorites Anya Garnis and Pasha Kovalev, who have taken the place of the featured couple Chmerkovskiy and Smirnoff as the two Dancing with the Stars figures return for an upcoming season of their televised celebrity dance competition. Burn the Floor features 32 award-winning ballroom dancing professionals from around the world, including dancers from Australia, Sweden, Italy, Germany, Russia, the Philippines, Great Britain and the U.S. The show includes everything from the jive and paso doble to the cha-cha, waltz, quickstep, mambo and more, and theatergoers can now enjoy Burn the Floor through January at New York City’s Longacre Theatre.
