The dancing and music were incredible. I was really surprised by the two live singers and how they used live drums and percussion to augment the recorded music. At first I wasn't sure if the show could sustain my interest, but it did by showcasing most of the dancers and singers to amazing effect. It's well worth the money.

Professionalism and passion at its highest: lighting, music selection, drummers, costumes, direction, sound, choreography, and the spectacularly good dancers. The energy level is explosive, even in the most traditional, slower, romantic dances. Two imperfect creative decisions, that do NOT take away from the 5-star rating: (1) Blocking: When all the dancers are on stage during the fst numbers, several are often hidden by couples in front of them, because there are too many dancers to fit into the tight formation of pairings who are in constant motion, even on the huge Pantages stage. This distracts from clean sightlines and the otherwise precise choreography. (2) Part 2, after intermission, is excellent, but a slight emotional dramatic letdown after the masterpiece of Part 1. Some of Part 2's choreography feels a bit redundant, less original and powerful than in Part 1. There are still great individual dances and moments, but they do not come as continuously as in Part 1, which is near perfection....This is a brilliant conception and show! It makes the entertaining "Dancing with the Stars," "Live to Dance," and even the better "So You Think You Can Dance," look like grade school and high school musicals. (But they saved popular dance so that this show could exist.) Every dollar in ticket cost is shown on stage. We are paying for their incredible talent, creative physical commitment, and moving exhilaration. I would gladly and enthusiastically see it again and again.

This show was such a breath of fresh air! I cried during the beautiful waltzes and tapped along with the swings! Vonzell from AI is the vocalist and was simply stunning. And of course Pasha and Anya from SYTYCD were beautiful. All of the cast were simply spectacular!!! A must see!

This show is tremendously well worth it! It is non-stop great dancing and super performers, everyone was in step & timing of a well rehearse group. The lead singers added additional delight as not to over whelm the senses into boredom. My wife is a strong critic and she was dancing in her seat.

There is some room for improvement; the 1st act has too many pieces and therefore too short. Each piece is not long enough to get into a deep feeling before it switches, where as the 2nd act does allow more time with less pieces.

Also, an announcement of whom and type of dance would really enhance the enjoyment instead of trying to reading the playbill in the dark. Dance fans are accustom to Dancing with the Stars announcement & I skip all the talk to get to the performance.

Burn the Floor is way ahead of DWTS by delivering effectually what it says, Dance, Dance, Dance! And the finale, the audience is on its feet with a few show stoppers.

This show, in a smaller venue like a dinner theater, would work great and really give Hollywood a great attraction for visitors & guest alike.

It would be a great night club opening with an hour break between acts. A great draw for any dance club needing to stand out from the rest.
