Being a movie collector I am very fussy which I order usually from seeing previews. I enjoy watching the many hours of entertainment.

"Burn the Floor" (DVD), is a film of the stage play "Burn the Floor" and burn the floor they do. Wow! It's a year 2000 salute, a tribute to dancing couples. Many of the dances are interpretations, abstractions of the milestone dance styles of the 20th Century, performed by 23 couples, the world's newest crop of ballroom champions.
The choreography is brilliant and dazzling, with each couple sharing the limelight in individual routines, but somehow it works together, as one. A time machine that whisks the viewer back to the smooth waltz, Hollywood and Broadway of the thirties, the Lindy, Fred Astaire, World War II and Glenn Miller. Then the Jitterbug, Zoot Suit, Reet Pleat and right cuff to look sharp enough to see your Sunday gal. Holy Moly Batman, we eventually zoom back to the 21st Century.
"Hot", the finale, is a hand-clapping, finger snapping, mind boggling Mambo/Salsa of the 21st Century. It is all new, fresh, sexy, wet and hot. The music, the moves, the artistry of the dancers and the ambiance of the stage, draws the spellbound viewer into the action. After seeing this film, many will browse the Yellow Pages in search of dance lessons from their nearest studio. This DVD is a keeper: you can play it over and over and never tire of watching it.

I'm a fan of ballroom dancing, and I bought this DVD because, well, it's about ballroom dancing!!! All the performances are really fun, there is no question about the dancers' skills, the choreography, their costumes, and the stage setup. My favorite part of the show is the Finale (Hot), oh my, the whole arrangement is wonderful!!! There really is no sufficient word to describe the show, but if you like ballroom and latin, I would recommend buying this one.

A joy to watch
If you ever danced and liked it, if you have a place in your heart for Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Busby Berkeley, if you like ballet, you owe it to yourself to see this DVD.

Nothing like what I expected
Given that the dancers are supposed to be real ballroom competitors, I was expecting spectacular dancing. What I saw was repetitious choreography with a few latin moves thrown in. Read more

This is not ballroom
This is ballet with some elements of partner dancing incorporated in. The only part that could be useful for a ballroom dancer is the Jive number. The rest is pure ballet.

Sexy and Fun
I guess it helps that they used two of my favorite songs, the Carousel Waltz and Let's Face the Music. Overall I found this a very enjoyable dance performance. Read more

Well-intentioned, but the cinematography was abysmal
As a ballroom/latin dancer, I was thrilled when I thought I'd finally found a video of a show featuring the type of dance I do. Read more
