Eddie Simon's Ballroom! Show

Dance champions from around the world will come to the State Theatre in New Brunswick, NJ on July 18 at 8 p.m. and July 19 at 3 and 8 p.m to perform in Ballroom!, an original production showcasing the talents of top names in ballroom dancing. Choreographed by renowned dancing coach, judge, and choreographer Eddie Simon, Ballroom! will feature dancers who have won numerous US and world championships, including the reigning US Rhythm and World Mambo champions Jose Decamps and Joanna Zacharewicz. There will also be an onstage amateur competition during the second act of the show.

Mr. Simon was recently quoted as saying: "It's so exciting because in our world, [ballroom dancing] has been a big thing all the time, a special little secret...Maybe people have stayed in hotels and seen these dancers going back and forth in beautiful costumes and wondered, 'Where are they going? Who are they?' Now it's exposed to the rest of the world, definitely through the TV shows."

Tickets for the show cost $25-50. Click here to read more.
