The ten dancers selected to compete for a place in the Grand Final arrive in Dartington, Devon, for a week-long intensive dance academy under the scrutiny of some of the best in the business.

This week, the ten dancers selected at the auditions arrive in Dartington, Devon, for a week-long intensive dance academy. Awaiting them are Clara Amfo and the ´óÏó´«Ã½ Young Dancer team, which includes some of the best professional dancers and choreographers in the business.
