Burn The Floor has announced a charity partnership with NextSense, with a special gala performance of its new production LUMINOUS set to take place at the Sydney Coliseum Theatre on 26 September 2026. The Charity Gala will be hosted by television personalities and dancers Tristan MacManus and Kym Johnson, with $10 from every ticket sold to be donated to NextSense. The organisation supports children, adults and families impacted by hearing and vision loss through education, therapy, research and clinical services.
Burn The Floor: LUMINOUS features an international cast of dancers alongside live music and choreography from director Jason Gilkison. The production aims to combine Ballroom and Latin dance with contemporary theatrical storytelling.
Burn The Floor producer Harley Medcalf said the partnership with NextSense reflected the company’s longstanding focus on connection through dance, while giving the gala an opportunity to support the organisation’s work.
“For more than 25 years, Burn The Floor has celebrated the power of dance to connect people across cultures, languages and generations. Partnering with NextSense for this Charity Gala is a natural extension of those values. We’re incredibly proud that this special performance will not only entertain audiences, but also help raise awareness and support the extraordinary work NextSense does every day.”
Coliseum Theatre General Manager Trish Charan said the venue was pleased to support the gala and help raise awareness of NextSense’s work within the community.
“Coliseum Theatre is proud to support this special Charity Gala performance of Burn The Floor in aid of NextSense. We’re delighted to work with Harley and Burn The Floor to help raise awareness of the invaluable work NextSense does within the community. Bringing audiences together for world-class entertainment while supporting a meaningful cause reflects the power of live performance to create a lasting impact both on and off the stage.”
The Burn The Floor: LUMINOUS Charity Gala will be held at Coliseum Theatre in Rooty Hill on Saturday 26 September 2026 at 7.30pm. Bookings are available through the Burn the Floor official website.
