You’ve just got to dance as Floorplay burns up Macau

Watching a performance of ‘Burn the Floor’s’ latest choreography Floorplay at the Sands Macao Theatre is guaranteed to make you do one of two things: make you want to take up dance or head straight for the nearest gym.
That’s because the superlatives to describe the show are as numerous as the costume changes and the energy of the dancers, breathtaking.
As Australian choreographer Jason Gilkison’s creation, Floorplay has just one goal, and that is to get the audience out of their seats and dancing in the aisles.
“This has been a dream for me because I had this show in my mind for years and so I always wanted to do my own show,” said the previous world dance champion, adding that “from the first night, we knew that this show seemed to have something special.”
The company’s producer Harley Medcalf offered up the opportunity so “two years ago we put together this new version which is my creation so it’s been a dream for me,” he added.
For Jason, the whole concept had been on his mind for the past eight years, “but it was kind of handy when ‘Burn the Floor’ came along as I was able to experiment with a company and get my ideas more refined so I could come to do this show,” he said.
