Ashleigh Di Lello and Ryan Di Lello will join the previously announced Anya Garnis, Pasha Kovalev, Karen Hauer, and Artem Chigvintsev in the Kravis Center’s engagement of Burn the Floor, May 4-9. All six dancers are finalists from TV’s So You Think You Can Dance.

Burn the Floor is created, directed, and choreographed by Jason Gilkison, and blends Latin and Ballroom dance. It was first conceived as a special performance at Sir Elton John’s 50th birthday celebration in 1997. Two years later, the show made its world premiere in the U.K., and it has since toured globally.

The cast will also include Damon Sugden, Rebecca Sugden, Robin Windsor, Patrick Helm, Sharna Burgess, Jeremy Garner, Sarah Hives, Sasha Farber, Melanie Hooper, Gary Wright, Ashleigh Hunter, Santo Costa, Emma Slater, Mirko Sciolan, and Nuria Santalucia. Also featured will be male vocalist Mig Ayesha and female vocalist Rebecca Tapia.
