It’s just been announced that Pasha & Anya (from So You Think You Can Dance of course!) will join the Burn the Floor Broadway cast as the star dancers, replacing Maks Chmerkovskiy and Karina Smirnoff, who depart the show August 16th. Pasha & Anya will begin August 18th.
Woo hoo! So excited for them!
I really think they’re going to make this show. (My review of the Maks / Karina cast is coming very soon — likely later today). I think Pasha and Anya are the quintessential Latin ballroom performers. Karina’s technically probably the best female Latin dancer in the world right now (imo, with the arguable exception of Joanna Leunis, or Yulia Zagoruychenko) and Karina & Maks are worth seeing in the show for that reason alone. But Anya’s a true diva like no other and she and Pasha really know how to melt you into a giant puddle, right there on your seat… I’m not kidding, they are to die for.
I don’t know which cast to recommend now… I recommend them both!
(Full disclosure of course: for newish readers to this blog, I am friends with Pasha; he is my former instructor).
Tonya I totally love this and so I must show you this:

Oh, now this is a show I’d pay to see! I saw an earlier edition of Burn The Floor, and it was fun, but this would be 100 times more engaging for me than Max and Karina, no matter how good they are.
To people commenting on this post, sorry, don't know why they're not posting — trying to figure it out 🙂
