Ballroom dancing has become big business, which is one reason why the long-running dance extravaganza Burn the Floor is finally arriving on Broadway, where it has settled in for a limited engagement at the Longacre Theatre. TheaterMania recently caught a sneak peek rehearsal of the show, and chatted with producer Carrie Ann Inaba and guest stars Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff (all from ABC's hit series Dancing With the Stars), as well as the show's choreographer and director, Jason Gilkison.
