Burn The Floor [VHS]

For a DVD the video quality was very good, sadly the Dolby digital 5.1 sound track was very poor apart from the last dance item. Instead of the sound being perfectly in time with the video as with a live performance, it had the feeling of the sound being added all the time. Also the sound apart from the last track was recorded as if you were listening in the room next door and that you only walked into the production area for the last number. Very disappointing as I love shows that bring the best out of our 7.1 surround sound system that will beet most cinema sound system. Why the DVD production people would do this, I have no idea as it ruined for me an otherwise enjoyable stage show.

Ok so I can see from the other reviews, this is a Love it or hate it production.I bought this because for my A2 (A level) Performing arts exam we were doing the Lindy hop section. During rehearsals in school we were developing the piece solely from a video of the piece and therefore could neither slow down nor pause the show to translate the movements. The DVD allowed us to do this and raised the quality 100%.Now for my opinion on the actual dances: I LOVED it. When copying from the DVD you truly appreciate the stamina of the dancers. We as a group were only recreating the first three minuets of the Lindy hop section and we left class knackered and aching, while the Lindy hop section is actually more like six minuets in total. This is not even looking at the rest do the DVD.The other dance works are amazing combining, swing, ballroom and Latin in a modern beautiful way. The dancers perfumed high energy dances at amazing speed all of them dipping into new genres of dance. The music is amazingly varies and creates and energy of its own. the costumes are fun and beautiful varying from caveman-punk (don't know what I'm talking about Buy it!) to pink ball gowns, to dresses that glow (literally) and full on swing dresses.If you like classical ballroom, Latin or even swing, there is something to look for and enjoy. If you are new to ballroom dancing of any kind this is a great place to start. If you like strictly come dancing you will love a performce like this were you can watch the dances at a professional standard, it feel as though you are in the audience and not have to listen to the judges mean comments.For those of you who stick strongly to the classics, this is not for you. None of these dances are toe to toe with the classical forms either through a mixing or styles, mix dated music or through a modern flare. If you wholly love only competition ballroom you will again not love this production. But I can't see how anyone no matter how set in their ways cannot appreciate this performance.Five stars all the way.(P.s don't be put off my the fact that the box it written in German all the material is in English and who needs to read the back anyway!)

The DVD was an Italian DVD, so all the writing inside was in Italian. as this was purchased as a Christmas gift it was not fit for purpose.It should have been made very clear this DVD was not in English

Bought this DVD for my daughter who originally owned the Video, but could no longer play it. She was very satisfied and happy to receive it.

I have had a VHS tape (2nd hand and not to good) for some time. I was delighted to find a DVD available. some difference in quality and much more enjoyable to watch. This is one of the best dance shows that I have ever seen, costumes and performances out of this world. After watching you will feel as exhausted as the dancers !!!

Unfortunately the DVD felt & looked like a copy! I've had two previous DVDs from both BtF shows which we're chunky played & looked good. No idea where these are from, but if it where a park bench, the paint was still wet, if you know what I mean. Sent the 1st one back, quick replacement, great, still didn't work,so given up! Will wait till the show comes back to the UK & buy one then. :(

Just great!

I had the original on video and wanted to watch this fantastic dance spectacle!

Nothing to say really.

Marvellous dancing. I will watch this and enjoy on many occasions.
