Jason Gilkison, the show’s creative director and choreographer, said: “This Burn the Floor 25th anniversary reunion will be such a one time event for us all, having all our stars back on stage together where they began. Not only will this be an emotional event for us, but also a spectacular one not to be missed.

“This version of Burn the Floor broke Broadway box office records, so I can’t wait to see it back on stage with this ‘dream team’ cast!

“Not only will this be an emotional event for us, but a spectacular one…”
