May 16, 2008
Ballroom dancing has always been about a man and a woman. Moving together up close and personal. Today stripped back to its soul it is hot, sweaty and sexy. This is Ballroom dancing in the new millennium.
This is Floor Play.
If you couldn’t get enough of the Latino beats and body shimmying of TV favourites – ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, and ‘So You Think You Can Dance’, now’s your chance to witness Ballroom and Latin dancing taken to the next level. Filmed at Australia’s Canberra Theatre, Warner Music Entertainment introduces super hot ‘Burn The Floor – FloorPlay’ out to own on DVD from 19th May. Combining passion and love of dance with aspects of modern theatre, this electrifying live show captures all the glamour and party atmosphere you’d expect from such a fusion of dance styles.
Coinciding with the current tour which is taking the world by storm and the Blackpool Dance Festival (22nd-29th May), FloorPlay is conceived, directed and choreographed by World Champion Ballroom dancer Jason Gilkison - the man behind the skilled choreography of the original ‘Burn the Floor’ which has now been seen by over a staggering 3 million people worldwide.
The original Burn the Floor concept emerged from a stunning display of Latin dancing at Elton John’s 50th birthday party back in 1997. That show went on to successfully tour 15 countries. The new FloorPlay spectacular is an extension of the concept that is now appealing not just to the regular dance show fans but also to the devoted dance lovers who appreciate and recognise quality and expert dance routines and moves.
FloorPlay features a hand picked cast of talented, award winning dancers. The show itself oozes hot, steamy sex appeal with its set of 20 male and female dancers sauntering their way through waltzes, flinging and flaunting themselves to the Cha Cha Cha, Rumba and Samba, demanding their audiences to leave all perceptions of Ballroom Dancing at the front door!
This dazzling and action packed DVD features the new show, backstage tour, interviews with the dancers, and never before seen footage of the history of Burn the Floor on tour, giving viewers an insight into life backstage and on stage.
Out to own on DVD from 19th May from Warner Music Entertainment, watch Burn the Floor – FloorPlay, the dance extravaganza unfold before your very eyes and let you feet sing to the beats of this breathtaking, action-packed, sensual and ultimately inspiring an show stopping entertainment performance.
Girlie Gossip have 6 copies of the DVD up for grabs, to win just answer the following simple question and send it along to us with your Girlie Gossip username by using the form below. Good luck! Competition closes June 10th.

May 16, 2008
Female statues across the UK have had a temporary makeover after being dressed in running vests to celebrate Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life 2008. The historical figures, including the likes of Jane Austen and Emmeline Pankhurst, have been sporting running bibs to mark the women’s only race series which kicked off across the UK this month.
To reflect the determination and drive of the women who participate in the Race for Life events, Cancer Research UK commissioned six statues of famous historical figures to be dressed in the specially designed running vests – surprising and impressing onlookers throughout the country.
The statues were specifically chosen as women who are noteworthy for their strength, ingenuity or purpose throughout history. Statues donning the race bibs include the formidable Roman warrior Queen Boadicea, located in Cardiff and leading women’s rights activist, Emmeline Pankhurst, whose bronzed statue resides in Westminster, London. Also sporting race wear are the Messenger of Peace in Manchester, Lady Godiva in Coventry, as well as the Jane Austen figure in Bath and Pocahontas in Gravesend, Kent.
Now in its 15th year, Cancer Research UK’s Race for Life is the largest women-only fundraising series in Britain. Women are invited to walk, jog or run 5k at over 260 events across the UK this summer. The charity is hoping that 750,000 women will come together and help raise over £50 million for research into all forms of cancer.
Louise Holland, of Cancer Research UK said: “Each of the statues we selected to wear our running vests represent the importance of strength, courage and in many cases, triumph over adversity. The women taking part in this year’s Race for Life events show dedication, resolve and a desire to change lives – much like many of the historical statues that are wearing our race bibs.”
Each Race for Life event covers a distance of 5k, encouraging women of all ages and levels of fitness to participate. Women can enter Race for Life by visiting www.raceforlife.org or calling 0871 641 2282.

May 5, 2008
This Optimus Prime USB hub is a sure fire way of putting a smile on your man’s face. It’s shaped like Optimus Prime’s head and contains 4 USB 2.0 ports. Not only does it look completely amazing it also blurts out several well known phrases from the cult Transformers series i.e.: “Autobots, transform and roll out!”, “This is Optimus Prime - do you read me?” and “It’s time to stomp some Decepticons!”
I have to admit; I’m a huge transformers fan myself and loved the movie version with Shia LaBeouf but my desk is far too cluttered up with girlie gadgets and lots of junk to buy it for myself!
Make your man’s day year by grabbing one of these babies for him before they sell out!
