    If you want to see some incredible performers, dance--don’t walk--on over to see “Burn the Floor” at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts, running through Sunday. This troupe of dancers, musicians, and singers presented a seamless and sensuous series of ballroom “international style,” from the Viennese waltz of “Let’s Face the Music and Dance” to the jive of “Proud Mary,” with some lindy, samba, rumba, and tango in between. You want to see perfect, no-holds-barred dancing, performed by 20-something champions from all over the world? See Burn the Floor—it’ll leave you breathless. Collapse
