Get ready to turn up the heat, with Burn the Floor: Luminous bringing explosive ballroom, Latin and contemporary dance to Newcastle’s Civic Theatre this month.
The world-renowned dance production returns with a completely reimagined show featuring fresh choreography, a newly curated cast of international champion dancers and a bold new creative direction.
Rather than simply revisiting the formula that made Burn the Floor a global hit, Luminous promises to push the production into new territory.
At the creative helm is Jason Gilkison, whose work has helped redefine ballroom dance for modern audiences.
As Creative Director and Choreographer of Strictly Come Dancing, Gilkison brings his experience in television and live performance to a production designed to challenge the traditional boundaries of ballroom.
The Newcastle show will feature an international cast of champion dancers taking on ballroom, Latin and contemporary styles, backed by live musicians and vocalists.
The action will be matched by theatrical production, striking costumes and dynamic staging, creating a high-energy experience that goes well beyond a traditional dance show.
With its infectious and rebellious energy, Luminous is designed to appeal to both longtime Burn the Floor fans and audiences discovering the production for the first time.
The show promises to bring the athleticism, precision and spectacle of champion-level dance to the Civic Theatre stage.
Burn the Floor: Luminous will hit Newcastle’s Civic Theatre on Friday, 25 September 2026 at 7.30pm, presented by Dance Partner. Tickets are available through Civic Theatre.
