    Burn the Floor Brings Explosive Ballroom Magic to Manila This July

    Manila, mark your calendars because something spectacular is about to sweep you off your feet! From July 10 to 15, 2025, the global dance sensation Burn the Floor: Ballroom Reinvented will light up The Theatre at Solaire with a show that’s anything but your typical ballroom affair. If you think waltzing is all about stiff collars and polite claps, think again—this is ballroom with a fiery twist, and it’s coming straight to our shores.

    Burn the Floor Portrait

    For 27 years, Burn the Floor has been rewriting the rules of dance, blending the elegance of ballroom with a rock-and-roll edge that’s left audiences buzzing from Broadway to London’s West End. Now, it’s Manila’s turn to experience the passion, the rhythm, and the sheer talent of what’s been dubbed “the toughest dance company in the world.” Ready to feel the heat?

    A Dance Revolution Like No Other

    Picture this: the graceful sway of a Slow Waltz meets the sultry strut of a Samba, all dialed up to eleven with heart-pounding energy. Burn the Floor takes classic ballroom dances—think Tango, Viennese Waltz, and Foxtrot—and infuses them with Latin flair like the Cha-Cha, Rumba, and Jive. The result? A performance that’s equal parts discipline and daring, tradition and rebellion.

    BTF25 A05

    Since its debut in 1999, this show has been on a mission to shake up the dance world. Founder and producer Harley Medcalf sums it up perfectly: “I wanted to create a showcase that fuses the traditions of ballroom dancing with the creativity and energy of a rock-and-roll production.” And trust us, they’ve nailed it. With a mantra of “No fear, no boundaries,” Burn the Floor pushes every limit, turning a night at the theater into an all-out celebration of movement and music.

    Why Manila’s Going to Love This

    If there’s one thing Filipinos know, it’s how to appreciate a good performance. From our love for videoke showdowns to cheering on local dance crews, we’ve got rhythm in our DNA. That’s why Harley Medcalf is so excited to bring the show here. “Manila is a city with a deep love for performance and dance,” he says. “We can’t wait for Filipinos to experience our world-class dancers’ energy, passion, and brilliance.”

    BTF25 A03

    And who can blame him? This isn’t just a dance show—it’s a full-on spectacle. Imagine dazzling costumes, jaw-dropping choreography, and a soundtrack that’ll have you tapping your feet long after the curtain drops. Whether you’re a die-hard dance fan or just looking for a fun night out, Burn the Floor promises to deliver something unforgettable.

    A Global Legacy Lands in the Philippines

    This isn’t Burn the Floor’s first rodeo. The company has toured over 180 cities across 30 countries, wowing crowds in places like Japan, Australia, South Africa, and the USA. They’ve shared stages with legends, brought down houses on Broadway, and earned a rep for being unstoppable. Now, after years of globe-trotting, they’re ready to make Manila their next big stage.

    BTF25 A08

    Running for six nights only from July 10 to 15, 2025, this is a limited chance to catch a world-class act right in Parañaque. The Theatre at Solaire, known for hosting top-tier shows, is the perfect spot to experience this explosive production brought to us by GMG Productions and Dance Partner Productions.

    What to Expect When You Go

    o, what’s in store when you snag a seat? Expect a rollercoaster of emotions—sensual slow dances that tug at your heartstrings, fiery Paso Dobles that get your pulse racing, and playful Jives that’ll leave you grinning ear to ear. The dancers aren’t just performers; they’re storytellers, pouring every ounce of commitment into moves that feel raw and electric.

    BTF25 A01

    The production value is off the charts, too. Think cutting-edge tech paired with choreography that’s been polished to perfection over decades. It’s the kind of show that makes you want to jump up and dance along (though maybe save that for your living room after-party!).

    How to Get Your Tickets

    The wait is almost over! Disney’s Snow White, the highly anticipated live-action adaptation of the beloved 1937 animated classic, is set to enchant audiences in the Philippines starting March 19. With a fresh take on the timeless tale, this visually stunning and musically captivating film brings new life to a story that has inspired generations.

    image003

    A Modern Retelling of Disney’s First Princess

    Under the visionary direction of Marc Webb (500 Days of Summer, The Amazing Spider-Man), Disney’s Snow White stays true to the essence of the original film while embracing a bold, contemporary perspective. “It was really important for us to honor the DNA of ‘Snow White.’” He furthers, “The original ‘Snow White’ didn’t break the mold—it created the mold. But there was also an opportunity to retell the mythology in a way that reflects the times we’re in, and I think all good stories evolve over time.”

    Taking on the iconic titular role is Rachel Zegler, the critically acclaimed star of West Side Story and The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes. Her portrayal brings depth, courage, and compassion to the beloved character. “Having a female character at the forefront of your story whose entire purpose is to be fearless, fair, brave, and true is unlike anything that I’ve ever seen before, and I am very excited for the next generation of moviegoers to see that,” she shares.

    image004

    She is joined by Andrew Burnap (WeCrashed, The Inheritance) as Jonathan, an original character created for this adaptation, and Gal Gadot (Wonder Woman), who steps into the role of the Evil Queen—delivering a mesmerizing performance as one of Disney’s most legendary villains.

    A Breathtaking Musical Experience

    Music has always been at the heart of Snow White, and this adaptation continues that tradition with Oscar- and Tony-winning composers Benj Pasek and Justin Paul (La La Land, The Greatest Showman, Dear Evan Hansen) bringing the soundtrack to life. Featuring Rachel Zegler’s powerful vocals—honed from her early days as a YouTube singer—the film’s musical lineup includes both beloved classics and brand-new songs.

    One of the most anticipated additions is Waiting on a Wish, a beautifully crafted original song that perfectly captures Snow White’s hopes and dreams. Now available on Spotify and YouTube, this enchanting track offers a glimpse into the film’s musical magic.
