With the popularity of ballroom dance on the rise, its old fashioned and stiff stigma is a thing of the past, New Zealand born, Burn the Floor dancer, Peta Murgatroyd, recalls her friends thinking she was totally un-cool as she took general classes with the elderly, today their tune has changed.

Ballroom dancing has been likened to a perfect date, without the complications and expense of dinner & wine, and, the potentially awkward conversations and silences. Perhaps it’s because dance classes achieve closeness through the dancing steps, there’s a certain intimacy created bringing the world of passion and romance one step closer.

This has got to be better than the winter blues. Grab your date, family and friends and get your tickets to the hottest show in town.

“At the end of the two-hour performance the audience gave Floorplay a standing ovation and more than one person was heard to say on the way out, , "How do they dance like that for two hours? I'm exhausted from just clapping!"

“FloorPlay is dramatic, sexy and strictly good fun.” - West Australian
