Got To Dance is about to kick off its finals week, so it's just as well we have a bunch of semi-finalists now, isn't it? The first team who'll be battling it out for a place in the final will be Ashley Banjo's contestants, who'll take to Earl's Court on Monday, August 25.
"This year's new format has meant that I am mentoring a contemporary group and even a couple of ballet dancers," Banjo said. "It has brought a whole new dynamic, but unlike the other judges I know how it feels - I have been in the exact same place as the contestants and had to work my way up with my dance group.
"It's nerve-wracking and a big responsibility being a mentor. There is so much talent and Got To Dance is one of those shows that's all about talent."
