Wei Yao qualified from Leeds University with a PHD qualification in bioenergy which as we all know is energy which is stored in biological matter or “biomass”. This can be derived from plants, slurry and even sewage, yuk. He  taped his glasses to his face to stop them from falling off because all of that excess energy he was producing, presumably from all of that biomass. The judges didn’t share the opinion of the audience who gave him the necessary 75%

Cream is like talent, it will always rise to the top and this was the situation with Dane Bates Collective, a group of girls from all over the UK who come together once a month to train for performances, sharing a common interest in dance and keep in touch via Snapchat.

Shyla aged 7 practices in her bedroom. Elliot Shyla’s dad suffers from a condition called keratoconus, which has affected his vision so he is only being able to see blurred shapes and colours, so still being able to see Shyla dance inspires him. What a performance from Shyla, who not only inspired Elliot, but everyone who saw that amazing performance.

Barbara Peters aged 80 has been dancing for 78 years and trained at The RADA Academy of Dance and now has her own dancing school in Huddersfield who is still teaching today. Barbara’s secret to youthfulness is to never stop dancing and is officially the oldest ballet dancer in the UK.

Unity UK a twelve strong group of dancers who trained together for the last six years in East London, but are from all around the capital. Archie, Chelsea, Jemma and others amazed the judges and audience, Sharne the founder, director and choreographer (The Big Friendly Giant) of Unity UK was very emotional with tears of joy. The motto of the group is “peace love and unity”

Santra & Pila a real couple and dancing partners from Finland showed great style and energy zoomed up to the 75% in no time. Well done.
