0:00:44 > 0:00:47announced 17-year-old contemporary dancer Connor Scott

0:00:47 > 0:00:50as the first ever winner.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53When they announced my name, literally,

0:00:53 > 0:00:57it was just shock because I couldn't quite believe it.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00The whole thing was such a beautiful experience

0:01:00 > 0:01:04and to share it with some absolutely beautiful people, as well,

0:01:04 > 0:01:06it was...it was amazing.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16In just four weeks' time, BBC Young Dancer

0:01:16 > 0:01:19returns to Sadler's Wells

0:01:19 > 0:01:22and this world-famous stage for the 2017 grand final.

0:01:26 > 0:01:29Ballet and South Asian dance, plus one wild card -

0:01:29 > 0:01:33will perform here, in front of some of the biggest names in dance,

0:01:33 > 0:01:35which is a prize in itself.

0:01:35 > 0:01:36But at the end of the evening,

0:01:36 > 0:01:40one of our dancers will walk away with the title -

0:01:40 > 0:01:42BBC Young Dancer 2017.

0:02:13 > 0:02:17Dance has rarely been more popular or as diverse.

0:02:17 > 0:02:20People of all ages are taking up dance classes,

0:02:20 > 0:02:24watching live performances in theatres and cinemas

0:02:24 > 0:02:29and there's also a certain Saturday night entertainment show.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34Dance is fun. People take great pleasure in doing it.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36It's part of who we are as human beings.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39Currently, these is so much diversity,

0:02:39 > 0:02:41that's the diverse society that we live in,

0:02:41 > 0:02:43and it's projected in the dance world.

0:02:44 > 0:02:46Dance is extremely important

0:02:46 > 0:02:49and I think, the more people dance, the more happy we'll be.

0:02:49 > 0:02:53Last summer, BBC Young Dancer invited applications

0:02:53 > 0:02:56from the best ballet, contemporary,

0:02:56 > 0:03:00South Asian and street dancers aged 16-21.

0:03:01 > 0:03:04Over the course of the series, we'll be following 20 dancers

0:03:04 > 0:03:06and their journeys through the competition,

0:03:06 > 0:03:09getting an insight into what it takes to be a dancer,

0:03:09 > 0:03:12and showcasing the very best of their performances

0:03:12 > 0:03:14from the category finals.

0:03:17 > 0:03:20Tonight, we begin with the poppers and the lockers

0:03:20 > 0:03:22as street dance takes centre stage.

0:03:25 > 0:03:28From the DVD auditions, ten from this category

0:03:28 > 0:03:30were selected to compete in the second round.

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Held at the Midlands' Art Centre in Birmingham back in October,

0:03:35 > 0:03:39it was judged by dancer and choreographer Marso Riviere,

0:03:39 > 0:03:42popper and robot performer Nicholas Marvel,

0:03:42 > 0:03:46and dancer and CEO of Boadicea Crew Rhimes Lecointe.

0:03:47 > 0:03:50It's about being funky, it's about being unique, being creative,

0:03:50 > 0:03:53being entertaining and enjoying yourself.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56And I found tonight that they were really enjoying themselves,

0:03:56 > 0:03:58so it was enjoyable to watch.

0:03:58 > 0:04:01I just felt I was really blown away by the level of the dancers,

0:04:01 > 0:04:04technically speaking and on a performance level, as well.

0:04:04 > 0:04:08When it came to picking five dancers, it was quite hard,

0:04:08 > 0:04:10but we managed to get five

0:04:10 > 0:04:13and they were all very creative and original in their styles.

0:04:13 > 0:04:15You guys are in for a real treat.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18There's a lot of talent going on there. Wait until you see them.

0:04:19 > 0:04:24And the five dancers selected for the street dance final are -

0:04:24 > 0:04:2819-year-old Harry Barnes from Merseyside.

0:04:28 > 0:04:30Two years ago, Harry won this category

0:04:30 > 0:04:32and a place in the grand final.

0:04:32 > 0:04:35He's back this year to defend his title.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38It's real when you've got an actual audience.

0:04:38 > 0:04:41You've just got to get them all on your wavelength.

0:04:41 > 0:04:46And I really enjoy that task of trying to win people over...

0:04:46 > 0:04:48without even saying a word.

0:04:49 > 0:04:5318-year-old Tom Hughes Lloyd from Wrexham.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56He's a former Junior World Street Dance Champion.

0:04:56 > 0:05:00I'd had a few doubts over whether I'd be good enough, really.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02And then I just thought, "I've got to do something,

0:05:02 > 0:05:04"I've got to push myself."

0:05:04 > 0:05:06And this came up and I just thought it would be perfect.

0:05:06 > 0:05:10I'm going into this just to learn something new about myself,

0:05:10 > 0:05:13but hopefully so that people can enjoy what I'm doing.

0:05:14 > 0:05:1721-year-old Jodelle Douglas lives in Cardiff and, like Harry,

0:05:17 > 0:05:21made it to this stage in the competition two years ago.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25This show, I feel like it's one of the best platforms I've ever been

0:05:25 > 0:05:28put on in terms of an experience, opportunity.

0:05:28 > 0:05:31As long as I get what I want across to the audience, whoever,

0:05:31 > 0:05:33happy days!

0:05:35 > 0:05:39At just 17 years old, Kate Morris from Maesteg in South Wales

0:05:39 > 0:05:41is the youngest dancer to make it through.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46I watched Jodelle and Harry when I was 15 and I was, like,

0:05:46 > 0:05:48"Oh, I want to do this".

0:05:48 > 0:05:52So then I had to wait until I was old enough to do BBC Young Dancer,

0:05:52 > 0:05:54so I'm glad I'm here. I'm really glad.

0:05:56 > 0:05:58And completing the line-up,

0:05:58 > 0:06:0121-year-old Darren Hamilton from Glasgow.

0:06:02 > 0:06:05The best thing about dance is literally being able to

0:06:05 > 0:06:08create and not worry about what you're creating.

0:06:08 > 0:06:12That's the best thing, just that and connecting with people.

0:06:14 > 0:06:16# Clap your hands, everybody

0:06:16 > 0:06:18# If you got what it takes... #

0:06:20 > 0:06:24Originating on the streets of New York, street dance first

0:06:24 > 0:06:27arrived in the UK in the 1980s.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29# Get on down. #

0:06:29 > 0:06:30In the UK at the moment,

0:06:30 > 0:06:35there's an absolutely massive street dance scene. So much going on.

0:06:35 > 0:06:36If you're part of that community,

0:06:36 > 0:06:38it feels like that's all there is in the world.

0:06:38 > 0:06:41And it's getting bigger and bigger and bigger by the minute.

0:06:41 > 0:06:43We're getting world champions now.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46We're actually making a global impact.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49People are afraid of battling our dancers now - that's a reality now.

0:06:52 > 0:06:56The umbrella term street dance comes from the fact that it started

0:06:56 > 0:06:58as a dance in the street.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01But actually, street dance is in the theatre.

0:07:01 > 0:07:03It's not street dance anymore.

0:07:03 > 0:07:07It's a beautiful, legitimised dance form that is growing

0:07:07 > 0:07:10and is successful and commercial.

0:07:11 > 0:07:13Street dance is such a broad genre with

0:07:13 > 0:07:17a myriad of different styles from locking to breaking.

0:07:17 > 0:07:21This year, the dancers who've made it through to the category final

0:07:21 > 0:07:22are all poppers.

0:07:24 > 0:07:29Fundamentally, popping is the contraction and release of a muscle.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31It appears like an electrical pulse,

0:07:31 > 0:07:35so you contract and release and that is a pop.

0:07:35 > 0:07:37Within it though there are many other styles.

0:07:37 > 0:07:42Like animation, you can become a creature or a character.

0:07:42 > 0:07:47Waving, you can use undulations to create the illusion of water.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50Robot, you can become a mechanical automaton.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52So there's all these things.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55Then you can mix them up and just make good stories with them.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03I look at some of these younger dancers.

0:08:03 > 0:08:07What they are doing is WAY beyond my understanding and my thinking.

0:08:07 > 0:08:10And they are pushing the boundaries and doing

0:08:10 > 0:08:13new and exciting things and I LOVE it.

0:08:13 > 0:08:14And good on them.

0:08:14 > 0:08:17And I can't wait to see what happens in the next 50 years.

0:08:22 > 0:08:25It's January and our five street dance finalists are in

0:08:25 > 0:08:29Newport, South Wales to meet the mentors who will guide them

0:08:29 > 0:08:30through the competition.

0:08:31 > 0:08:35- Well done for getting this far, guys.- Thank you.- Awesome.

0:08:35 > 0:08:38They are choreographers and street dance pioneers

0:08:38 > 0:08:41Rhimes Lecointe and DJ Renegade.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47I would really hope that all competitors get just

0:08:47 > 0:08:50a sense of who they are as artists out of this.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53By the end of it, they should be proud,

0:08:53 > 0:08:57they should feel like they've accomplished something.

0:08:57 > 0:09:01Some dancers just want to be in the background doing the same thing

0:09:01 > 0:09:04as everyone else and some actually have a story to tell,

0:09:04 > 0:09:07and I want to talk to the people who want to tell their own story.

0:09:07 > 0:09:10Let someone else do the people-in-the-background stuff.

0:09:11 > 0:09:15All five dancers are required to present two solos

0:09:15 > 0:09:18and a duet in the category finals.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21Newport provides the opportunity to work through their ideas

0:09:21 > 0:09:22with their mentors.

0:09:23 > 0:09:27First to work with DJ Renegade is Harry Barnes.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30Yeah, way into the distance.

0:09:30 > 0:09:32'Harry's way past capable.'

0:09:32 > 0:09:38He knows exactly what he wants to do but I want him to push beyond that.

0:09:38 > 0:09:41I want to see - what does Harry Barnes bring

0:09:41 > 0:09:42to the dance form?

0:09:42 > 0:09:45I want you to feel it in your skin, bro.

0:09:45 > 0:09:49I've been finishing off and just making little changes and stuff

0:09:49 > 0:09:50to my pieces in this last week.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53It's been a little bit stressful and so he reassured

0:09:53 > 0:09:57me that it was at the level it should be and, yeah, happy now.

0:09:58 > 0:10:02In her session with Tom, Rhimes focuses on his stage presentation.

0:10:07 > 0:10:10I LOVE to watch Tom dance. Ah!

0:10:10 > 0:10:14I just think it's beautiful what he does...

0:10:14 > 0:10:17but it could be the projection of his face and his eye line.

0:10:17 > 0:10:22So, we looked to raise the head up, pierce out, look at your audience.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25What are you saying? What do you want them to feel?

0:10:25 > 0:10:28What he is saying is no place to go and I feel like

0:10:28 > 0:10:31you could use that, like, in the beginning, you were...

0:10:31 > 0:10:32like that.

0:10:32 > 0:10:36- Yeah.- So use that.- Yeah. - Because it really, really worked.

0:10:36 > 0:10:39I'm so happy with the feedback that I got and it's really helped me.

0:10:39 > 0:10:42I know exactly what I need to do for the next round.

0:10:42 > 0:10:44Yeah! Awesome.

0:10:47 > 0:10:48In the past two years,

0:10:48 > 0:10:51Jodelle has been developing his own style of popping.

0:10:51 > 0:10:54He now breaks it down with DJ Renegade.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56- Nothing too awkward yet.- OK.

0:10:56 > 0:10:57'He's very experimental.'

0:10:57 > 0:11:00He has a lot of great ideas that I think he has been afraid

0:11:00 > 0:11:01of expressing before.

0:11:01 > 0:11:03So, I just wanted to say to him,

0:11:03 > 0:11:05"Don't worry about winning this competition."

0:11:05 > 0:11:06Stop looking at them.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08It's about you, as an artist,

0:11:08 > 0:11:11using the platform to say what you want to say.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13Good. Remember to zigzag.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Instead of me just walking straight in a line,

0:11:15 > 0:11:17he would think of, like, a zigzag.

0:11:17 > 0:11:20Just those little finishing touches that I'm going to personally

0:11:20 > 0:11:24take away for myself, so if I'm ever creating or choreographing,

0:11:24 > 0:11:26I'm going to think of Renegade's advice.

0:11:28 > 0:11:30In her workshop with Rhimes,

0:11:30 > 0:11:34Kate is challenged to bring out her personality in the pieces.

0:11:35 > 0:11:39She's so interesting to watch. She's so quirky.

0:11:39 > 0:11:41She's so experimental.

0:11:41 > 0:11:45It's not too often that you will see a girl pop like a lady.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48There's not many girls who embody their femininity with the popping,

0:11:48 > 0:11:51but I feel like you could kind of tease us a little bit with,

0:11:51 > 0:11:55- "I can go into that style but I'm going to hold it back."- OK.

0:11:57 > 0:12:02Going in with Rhimes, I felt like, "Ugh, I need to get my game on,"

0:12:02 > 0:12:04but then coming out, I was so relieved.

0:12:04 > 0:12:07Like, she made me feel like I had two strong solos

0:12:07 > 0:12:08and I was ready to perform them.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15Darren is a freestyle dancer, which means that much of his

0:12:15 > 0:12:17performance will be improvised.

0:12:17 > 0:12:20But for DJ Renegade, there's work needed on his storytelling.

0:12:22 > 0:12:27'He's very competent at his style, but it's trying to get him to

0:12:27 > 0:12:30'structure his freestyles so he has a better idea of what narrative

0:12:30 > 0:12:33'he's trying to put across.'

0:12:33 > 0:12:35Think of the space as, like, this is your...

0:12:37 > 0:12:39This is where you're writing your story, right?

0:12:42 > 0:12:44'Even though he's freestyling,'

0:12:44 > 0:12:47'he needs to think about where he's starting, the point he's going to go

0:12:47 > 0:12:50'through and how he's going to end his piece.'

0:12:50 > 0:12:51How do you feel?

0:12:51 > 0:12:53'He basically told me how to use the stage a wee bit more'

0:12:53 > 0:12:56and told me how to be comfortable in my movement,

0:12:56 > 0:12:58and how to continue my moves a bit longer

0:12:58 > 0:13:01instead of just having that adrenaline rush

0:13:01 > 0:13:03and throwing it away, which was really cool.

0:13:07 > 0:13:11With only a week between the mentor sessions and the category finals,

0:13:11 > 0:13:13the dancers leave with plenty to work on.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18After winning this stage last time round,

0:13:18 > 0:13:19there is a little pressure there.

0:13:19 > 0:13:22Next week is crucial, really.

0:13:22 > 0:13:25I've just need to take on board everything that I've been told

0:13:25 > 0:13:26and just drill it.

0:13:27 > 0:13:30Now, it's just about putting the graft in,

0:13:30 > 0:13:33just making sure I really home in on the little details.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37Now I've got to really step up my game and produce something special.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42What I'm going to be working on is my performance,

0:13:42 > 0:13:45really trying to tweak little bits and bobs.

0:13:45 > 0:13:48I want to take risks, so I'm going to be practising

0:13:48 > 0:13:51a lot more movement to take risks cos that's just how I work.

0:13:53 > 0:13:57Over the next week, I'm literally banging in rehearsals while

0:13:57 > 0:14:00doing college work, so it's going to be a bit of balance,

0:14:00 > 0:14:03but I will be getting those hours in in the studio.

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Sometimes I'm a bit too harsh on myself.

0:14:06 > 0:14:12I just need to enjoy it instead of being that much of a critic.

0:14:12 > 0:14:15I suppose that's the judges' job more than mine.

0:14:15 > 0:14:16I should just enjoy it.

0:14:20 > 0:14:23The Lowry Centre, Salford Quays.

0:14:23 > 0:14:27It's late January and the day of the street dance final.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30The dancers arrive for their stage rehearsals.

0:14:30 > 0:14:34It's their first opportunity to run through their three pieces

0:14:34 > 0:14:36with lighting and cameras.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40On hand, their mentors Rhimes and DJ Renegade.

0:14:41 > 0:14:45For the dancers, it's been months of preparation to get to this

0:14:45 > 0:14:46stage of the competition.

0:14:46 > 0:14:49The challenge now is to impress three of the UK's

0:14:49 > 0:14:51leading dance experts.

0:14:52 > 0:14:55They are, Tony Adigun,

0:14:55 > 0:15:00founder and Artistic Director of Avant Garde Dance company.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02I'm looking for their relationship with music.

0:15:02 > 0:15:05I'm a big fan of music and how we move to music,

0:15:05 > 0:15:09so for me it's how they marry those two things together.

0:15:09 > 0:15:11Bringing what they've been training to the stage

0:15:11 > 0:15:12and making it into a performance.

0:15:12 > 0:15:16I'm looking for the dancer to have fun and let loose tonight.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20Clara Bajadoo, a dancer, choreographer and lecturer,

0:15:20 > 0:15:24specialising in house dance and hip-hop.

0:15:24 > 0:15:27I'm going to be looking for something organic that would

0:15:27 > 0:15:29come out from the dancer.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33The winning performance for me tonight will have

0:15:33 > 0:15:37a really good projection, cleanness of the movement,

0:15:37 > 0:15:42understanding of the style, character and creativity.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45And our general adjudicator Shobana Jeyasingh,

0:15:45 > 0:15:47critically-acclaimed choreographer

0:15:47 > 0:15:50and founder of Shobana Jeyasingh Dance company.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54She'll be chairing the jury in all four Young Dancer category finals.

0:15:54 > 0:15:57We need someone who can actually, while showing off their technique,

0:15:57 > 0:16:00will also make us forget the technique

0:16:00 > 0:16:03and just look at them as the person.

0:16:03 > 0:16:08You need to be a super performer and communicate yourself as an artist.

0:16:15 > 0:16:18First to dance in this street dance final

0:16:18 > 0:16:22is 19-year-old Harry Barnes from Merseyside.

0:16:32 > 0:16:34Every different dancer has their own character.

0:16:34 > 0:16:39My character when I go on stage is very fun and jokey.

0:16:39 > 0:16:44I'm very smiley throughout life anyway, so I like to dance that way.

0:16:47 > 0:16:51Before he started dancing, there was another obsession driving Harry.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57I started playing golf when I was seven, I think.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01I played golf seriously for years and I didn't think anything

0:17:01 > 0:17:04would take me away from golf.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06Every day I was practising, practising hard.

0:17:06 > 0:17:10When I was 12, I went to see a dance show.

0:17:15 > 0:17:18I just enjoyed it that much that the next week I joined my first

0:17:18 > 0:17:20dancing class.

0:17:20 > 0:17:23Then I was just dancing all the time and golf just slowly got

0:17:23 > 0:17:25pushed to the side.

0:17:26 > 0:17:30Harry returns to BBC Young Dancer as reigning street dance champion.

0:17:30 > 0:17:32# Go all the way if you know

0:17:32 > 0:17:33# I'll give you the rest

0:17:33 > 0:17:35# Now tell me what do... #

0:17:35 > 0:17:37Harry Barnes.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41Just had such a good time last time and it was just such

0:17:41 > 0:17:45a positive experience that I just want to do it all over again.

0:17:47 > 0:17:49I definitely move a little bit different now,

0:17:49 > 0:17:52but a dancer's style always progresses, always moves on.

0:17:52 > 0:17:55You'll never find something and just stick with it forever.

0:17:55 > 0:17:58We're always looking to push ourselves and improve.

0:18:00 > 0:18:02It's pretty exciting, to be honest,

0:18:02 > 0:18:04especially when you've worked really hard on something,

0:18:04 > 0:18:07to finally get to the day where, you know,

0:18:07 > 0:18:09I get to share what I've made.

0:18:09 > 0:18:11I'm excited and ready. Ready.

0:18:11 > 0:18:14It just needs an audience for me to perform to now.

0:18:16 > 0:18:19And, in the audience, Harry has plenty of support.

0:18:19 > 0:18:23He opens his programme with a piece he's titled Trapped.

0:18:29 > 0:18:31The idea of the whole piece is, like,

0:18:31 > 0:18:34I'm trapped in the spotlight, I'm trying to get out and I can't.

0:18:36 > 0:18:40URBAN MUSIC PLAYS

0:19:45 > 0:19:51For his duet, Harry is joined on stage by Chase Willoughby.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54'I'm most excited to be doing the duet,'

0:19:54 > 0:19:56pas de deux, as some say.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59Just because, you know, I've never stood there and performed

0:19:59 > 0:20:02a duo before, so I'm really excited for that.

0:20:02 > 0:20:05It's starts slow and then we just bang it out.

0:20:05 > 0:20:09REMIX OF HOLY GHOST BY MESSINIAN PLAYS

0:21:31 > 0:21:34CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:21:37 > 0:21:41Harry is going to end his performance by showcasing his

0:21:41 > 0:21:45locking skills in a piece he's called It's My Birthday.

0:21:45 > 0:21:49My everyday personality comes out a little bit more in this one.

0:21:49 > 0:21:51It's going to be my birthday tomorrow,

0:21:51 > 0:21:55so it's like my birthday party, I suppose, and everyone's invited.

0:21:57 > 0:22:00# Throw some perm on your attitude

0:22:00 > 0:22:04# Girl, you gotta relax, ooh

0:22:05 > 0:22:08# Let me show you what you got to do

0:23:29 > 0:23:32Charismatic and very popular,

0:23:32 > 0:23:35that was Harry Barnes opening this street dance final.

0:23:35 > 0:23:38You can see Harry and all of tonight's performances in full

0:23:38 > 0:23:42on our website - bbc.co.uk/youngdancer

0:23:46 > 0:23:49Harry's performance was very, very strong.

0:23:49 > 0:23:50When he worked with his partner,

0:23:50 > 0:23:52the way they moved in the space was very impressive.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55More than dance, it was a great performance.

0:23:55 > 0:23:57Outstanding performer for sure.

0:23:57 > 0:24:02He got the audience, he got us, he's got a great all-round energy.

0:24:02 > 0:24:03Really great.

0:24:03 > 0:24:07Tonight, in one word, was just amazing.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09The crowd seemed to enjoy it. I had a lot of supporters.

0:24:09 > 0:24:11So, yeah, thanks to them for coming.

0:24:11 > 0:24:15I came off buzzing after every piece. It was just amazing.

0:24:21 > 0:24:23Next to dance, it's Tom Hughes Lloyd,

0:24:23 > 0:24:26who is 18 and comes from Wrexham in North Wales.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41I started dancing about eight years ago.

0:24:44 > 0:24:46I never went to any classes.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49I used to just copy dancers I'd see on YouTube.

0:24:49 > 0:24:52I really like Michael Jackson, so I danced like him.

0:24:52 > 0:24:55Then, afterwards, I went more into popping.

0:24:55 > 0:24:56Now it feels like I have developed my own dance,

0:24:56 > 0:25:00so I don't copy anybody anymore.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04I just use what they do as inspiration and it gives

0:25:04 > 0:25:05me ideas for my own thing.

0:25:07 > 0:25:10Last summer, Tom completed a performing arts course

0:25:10 > 0:25:13at Coleg Cambria in Wrexham and he's back to help out

0:25:13 > 0:25:15with their winter showcase.

0:25:16 > 0:25:19Tutor Jamie Jenkins saw his potential early on.

0:25:21 > 0:25:24'It was amazing, like, I'd never seen anyone move like that.

0:25:24 > 0:25:27'And the fact he has passion, the passion that he had for dancing

0:25:27 > 0:25:28'just kind of came out.'

0:25:28 > 0:25:32I was kind of like, "Whoa, this boy's got something."

0:25:32 > 0:25:35I benefited a lot from the stuff we did at college.

0:25:35 > 0:25:38Not only the dance technique, but the acting side

0:25:38 > 0:25:42and how the dance and acting are actually, they relate.

0:25:42 > 0:25:44Because, within acting, you're telling a story,

0:25:44 > 0:25:46and with dance, you're telling a story.

0:25:46 > 0:25:48So it's kind of, for me, it's very similar.

0:25:49 > 0:25:52As well as working with the college students,

0:25:52 > 0:25:55Tom also teaches dance one-to-one.

0:25:55 > 0:25:58I met Rion a few years ago now.

0:25:58 > 0:26:00He was going to quit dance at one point,

0:26:00 > 0:26:03so I felt like I had seen potential in him and I said,

0:26:03 > 0:26:05"No, you shouldn't quit. You're really good."

0:26:05 > 0:26:07What we're doing is we're going this way.

0:26:07 > 0:26:10Yeah, and your head will just go naturally with it.

0:26:10 > 0:26:13'I began mentoring him after that and, since then,'

0:26:13 > 0:26:15we've trained together and become really good friends.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20Since I left college and I started working,

0:26:20 > 0:26:22I've been doing as much dancing as I can,

0:26:22 > 0:26:24making sure I'm just having fun with it, really.

0:26:24 > 0:26:27But they always catch me at work dancing,

0:26:27 > 0:26:29and I'm always trying to sneak in a bit of dancing

0:26:29 > 0:26:30while I'm behind the bar.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33At the moment, it's hard to find the time to dance,

0:26:33 > 0:26:35but I make sure that I make time for dance.

0:26:37 > 0:26:41CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:26:41 > 0:26:43The whole process has been so fun and, you know,

0:26:43 > 0:26:45there was times where I felt really nervous,

0:26:45 > 0:26:48but now I can't wait to just get on stage

0:26:48 > 0:26:51and do what I've been working towards this whole time.

0:26:51 > 0:26:54My first solo is Holding On.

0:26:57 > 0:27:00I would say this one's like a release for me.

0:27:01 > 0:27:05Because popping is associated with something

0:27:05 > 0:27:06a bit more up-tempo,

0:27:06 > 0:27:10doing this, really, I think, shows off what my style is

0:27:10 > 0:27:13and how it's different to other people's.

0:27:14 > 0:27:19MUSIC: Holding On by Disclosure featuring Gregory Porter

0:28:43 > 0:28:46In a self-choreographed programme,

0:28:46 > 0:28:50Tom also performed a solo piece titled Down The Road.

0:29:31 > 0:29:33And for his duet performance in this final,

0:29:33 > 0:29:37Tom is joined by dance partner Max Ravel.

0:29:37 > 0:29:41We decided to go for, like, an old-man theme.

0:29:43 > 0:29:45We've tried to go for a bit of comedy,

0:29:45 > 0:29:47but the main theme is that anybody can dance

0:29:47 > 0:29:49and anybody can have fun with dance.

0:29:49 > 0:29:53MUSIC: Freakshow On The Dance Floor by The Bar-Kays

0:31:29 > 0:31:32CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:31:38 > 0:31:40I found a kind of fluency

0:31:40 > 0:31:43in Tom's work, which was very pleasing,

0:31:43 > 0:31:45and I particularly liked the duet.

0:31:45 > 0:31:50I found it really witty and I really kind of got the story.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53I think he made some great choices tonight. I loved his duet.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56I loved the characterisation, the movement.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58My highlight was dancing with Max.

0:31:58 > 0:32:00That's the first time I've ever done a duo.

0:32:00 > 0:32:04Yeah, all the hard work paid off, so I'm really happy.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08Still to come in this street dance final,

0:32:08 > 0:32:1017-year-old Kate Morris...

0:32:11 > 0:32:14..and 21-year-old Darren Hamilton.

0:32:14 > 0:32:19Next to perform, 21-year-old Jodelle Douglas.

0:32:23 > 0:32:27This is the second time Jodelle has taken part in the competition,

0:32:27 > 0:32:31having reached the category finals in 2015.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34I took a lot from it and I've gained a lot of experience

0:32:34 > 0:32:36from the show last time,

0:32:36 > 0:32:40so I was just very privileged to have got through

0:32:40 > 0:32:43to that stage back then, and I'm here again.

0:32:45 > 0:32:48My dancing has changed a lot.

0:32:48 > 0:32:52Now I have a name for my movement, which I call the art within.

0:32:55 > 0:32:59My vision, the person I am today, has changed dramatically.

0:32:59 > 0:33:04MUSIC: Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars

0:33:04 > 0:33:07Since his appearance in BBC Young Dancer two years ago,

0:33:07 > 0:33:11Jodelle has moved from his hometown of Bristol to Cardiff.

0:33:11 > 0:33:14Back in Bristol, we didn't have the privilege of a dance studio.

0:33:14 > 0:33:17Now I've realised that it's really important.

0:33:17 > 0:33:20Moving to Cardiff, when I first went in the studio,

0:33:20 > 0:33:23I just didn't know what to do with myself.

0:33:23 > 0:33:26It's just crazy to have mirrors in front of you,

0:33:26 > 0:33:28to be able to just roll along the floor and really, like,

0:33:28 > 0:33:32express your movement to the fullest was amazing.

0:33:34 > 0:33:38We used to use the shop windows and whatever reflection.

0:33:38 > 0:33:42Even to this day, I find it hard to dance to myself in the mirror.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45Yeah, and then chest to the other side.

0:33:45 > 0:33:46To prepare for his final,

0:33:46 > 0:33:49Jodelle has been working with Liara Barussi,

0:33:49 > 0:33:52creative director of Cardiff-based Jukebox Collective.

0:33:52 > 0:33:55Jodelle's dance has matured, I'd say,

0:33:55 > 0:33:57from becoming a dancer to an artist.

0:33:57 > 0:34:03He's really come to know himself and identify his vision,

0:34:03 > 0:34:07and it's really beautiful to just see how that's developed,

0:34:07 > 0:34:09and he has a very clear identity

0:34:09 > 0:34:13of how he wants to present his work as an artist.

0:34:15 > 0:34:20I want people to see the change - the change in the vision,

0:34:20 > 0:34:23my movement, and the direction I'm taking me, as an artist, in.

0:34:25 > 0:34:30I just want to be able to express what I feel inside to people

0:34:30 > 0:34:34and, yeah, whoever gets inspired, then good on you.

0:34:35 > 0:34:38- CHEERING AND APPLAUSE - When I'm waiting in the wings,

0:34:38 > 0:34:42I'm excited just to get out there and just showcase what I do.

0:34:45 > 0:34:49Jodelle's first solo is called From The Shadows.

0:34:49 > 0:34:52It's just about me being this character

0:34:52 > 0:34:55and it's got a little bit of a theme to it, which is my heart,

0:34:55 > 0:34:58and I kind of build it throughout the piece

0:34:58 > 0:35:00and it affects my movement and my mood.

0:39:49 > 0:39:53that you want to know and that you want to understand.

0:39:53 > 0:39:56He's a unique mover. I like the quality that he has.

0:39:56 > 0:39:58He can dance very big

0:39:58 > 0:40:00and, also, he can dance very minute and minuscule.

0:40:00 > 0:40:03He's got a great quality about him.

0:40:03 > 0:40:05The crowd was amazing,

0:40:05 > 0:40:08just that energy in the room - loving it, so all good.

0:40:27 > 0:40:28Dance is my go-to.

0:40:28 > 0:40:31Like, if I'm down, if I'm happy, I'm always dancing.

0:40:31 > 0:40:32Like, there's not a day where I don't dance.

0:40:32 > 0:40:34It's everything for me.

0:40:39 > 0:40:42I started dancing at the age of three and a half

0:40:42 > 0:40:46in my hometown, Maesteg, at Miss Sian Dixon's ballet school.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51It's always been in my life. It has never not been in my life.

0:40:51 > 0:40:54Two, two, three. One, two, three. Two, two, three.

0:40:54 > 0:40:56Kate is now studying dance

0:40:56 > 0:41:00as part of a performing arts diploma at Bridgend College.

0:41:00 > 0:41:03I'm doing jazz and contemporary and ballet.

0:41:03 > 0:41:06I feel like all dance intertwines, like, of course.

0:41:06 > 0:41:07Like, the performance,

0:41:07 > 0:41:10when you get on a stage, you perform, you're a performer.

0:41:10 > 0:41:13You're not just flouncing around the stage.

0:41:13 > 0:41:16You are there to show off what you can do,

0:41:16 > 0:41:19so, yeah, I do feel like they all link in some way.

0:41:19 > 0:41:21Two. One, two, four, one.

0:41:21 > 0:41:24Kate first discovered a love for street dance

0:41:24 > 0:41:27when she took up classes at Jukebox Studios in Cardiff,

0:41:27 > 0:41:30where she now teaches in her spare time.

0:41:32 > 0:41:35I love being in the studio every second of every minute of every day.

0:41:36 > 0:41:40It's where it all started. It is my life, so...

0:41:42 > 0:41:45Like Jodelle, Kate has been working with Jukebox Collective's

0:41:45 > 0:41:48creative director Liara Barussi

0:41:48 > 0:41:50to prepare for this street dance final.

0:41:50 > 0:41:52Let's talk about your piece.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55'I start a new piece with a story in my head.

0:41:55 > 0:41:57'It's normally already planned out in my head,

0:41:57 > 0:42:00'just how I'm going to'

0:42:00 > 0:42:01embody it in the movement.

0:42:04 > 0:42:06Kate really understands her movement.

0:42:06 > 0:42:10She understands how to story tell or to describe an emotion.

0:42:10 > 0:42:15She really has a bit more of a personal relationship with dance.

0:42:18 > 0:42:21- SHE LAUGHS - You're making me laugh!

0:42:21 > 0:42:24There's loads of dancers in there. Like, there's a lot. I just do...

0:42:24 > 0:42:28I, like, want to stand out from the crowd and be very unique.

0:42:29 > 0:42:33The preparations for the category finals are so exciting.

0:42:33 > 0:42:37I'm ready. I'm confident with all my three pieces, so I'm ready to go.

0:42:37 > 0:42:41Kate's first dance is called Lotus.

0:42:41 > 0:42:45I called it Lotus because they grow up to be a beautiful thing,

0:42:45 > 0:42:48so that's what I feel like I am doing within the dance.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51MUSIC: Bad Blood by NAO

0:45:30 > 0:45:34CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:45:38 > 0:45:41For her duet, Kate teamed up with dancer Evion Hackett

0:45:41 > 0:45:44to perform a piece titled Kindred.

0:45:50 > 0:45:54She ends her performance with another self-choreographed work

0:45:54 > 0:45:56called Drifter.

0:45:56 > 0:46:00MUSIC: HSKT by Sylvan Esso

0:46:03 > 0:46:05It's literally about me, my personality.

0:46:05 > 0:46:08It's like a bedroom scene, how, like, I just like to dance.

0:46:08 > 0:46:11- Like, any distractions, I'm like... - SHE SIGHS

0:46:11 > 0:46:12I just want to... Just let me dance!

0:47:44 > 0:47:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:47:55 > 0:47:56I just loved watching Kate.

0:47:56 > 0:47:59She brought a real special quality.

0:47:59 > 0:48:01I just found her very fascinating

0:48:01 > 0:48:04because she just seemed very different to the other dancers.

0:48:04 > 0:48:06Kate's a thinker. I like her presentation.

0:48:06 > 0:48:09It's not just about her movement, it's about what happens around it.

0:48:09 > 0:48:12So, the context she's putting her dance into

0:48:12 > 0:48:15is really interesting and really entertaining at the same time.

0:48:15 > 0:48:18Being up there on stage, they just come to life, my performances,

0:48:18 > 0:48:20so I'm really happy with all of them.

0:48:20 > 0:48:22The atmosphere backstage has been, like, amazing.

0:48:22 > 0:48:25Everyone's hugging each other, like, "Oh, yeah, sick. Well done."

0:48:32 > 0:48:35Last to perform in this street dance final

0:48:35 > 0:48:39is 21-year-old Darren Hamilton from Glasgow.

0:48:43 > 0:48:44I don't think I ever thought

0:48:44 > 0:48:46that dancing was going to be a major part of my life.

0:48:46 > 0:48:49I think it was just one of those things that just kind of happened.

0:48:49 > 0:48:51Once I was involved, it's like there was no getting out of it.

0:48:51 > 0:48:55Originally from Fife, Darren moved to Glasgow two years ago

0:48:55 > 0:48:56to develop his dancing.

0:48:56 > 0:48:58The dancing's good in Glasgow.

0:48:58 > 0:49:01Once you're here, you kind of fall in love with it,

0:49:01 > 0:49:03so there was no going back after that.

0:49:03 > 0:49:04He's a freestyler -

0:49:04 > 0:49:08a form of street dance that's largely improvisational.

0:49:09 > 0:49:11The style of dance that I do is popping.

0:49:11 > 0:49:14It's like we've got a tool box of styles,

0:49:14 > 0:49:17and we can use it any way we want and we can create anything we want.

0:49:17 > 0:49:20We just have fun with it. It's fun.

0:49:23 > 0:49:24When he's not dancing,

0:49:24 > 0:49:28Darren works as an apprentice chef in a busy hotel.

0:49:28 > 0:49:31I do enjoy my work. I'm finding a real passion for it,

0:49:31 > 0:49:33as much as a passion for my dancing,

0:49:33 > 0:49:36so it's good that I've got two things in my life

0:49:36 > 0:49:38that I really enjoy, you know.

0:49:43 > 0:49:45Like, after a shift, you're really tired

0:49:45 > 0:49:48and you're trying to motivate yourself to dance,

0:49:48 > 0:49:50but as soon as you start, like,

0:49:50 > 0:49:51the training's worth it and you enjoy it.

0:49:54 > 0:49:57Twice a week, Darren attends Dimestop,

0:49:57 > 0:50:00a collective promoting the popping dance style.

0:50:00 > 0:50:04Dimestop was set up basically to build the scene

0:50:04 > 0:50:06and make sure that, if people were teaching it,

0:50:06 > 0:50:09they were teaching it right. When I started dancing,

0:50:09 > 0:50:12it was like just learning from videos and copying stuff.

0:50:12 > 0:50:13But when I came to Dimestop,

0:50:13 > 0:50:17I noticed a difference because I was learning the real popping,

0:50:17 > 0:50:18and there's a massive growth in me,

0:50:18 > 0:50:20so, like, that's why I love it here so much.

0:50:23 > 0:50:26I feel pumped. Like, there is a definite rush.

0:50:26 > 0:50:28It's an excitement, as well, like,

0:50:28 > 0:50:31cos I've never done nothing quite like this.

0:50:31 > 0:50:32And everybody's really good, like,

0:50:32 > 0:50:34and it's exciting just to be part of it.

0:50:34 > 0:50:38To begin, Darren is freestyling to a track by Justice

0:50:38 > 0:50:40called Waters Of Nazareth.

0:50:40 > 0:50:43MUSIC: Waters Of Nazareth by Justice

0:51:45 > 0:51:49CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:51:54 > 0:51:59For his duet, Darren is joined by his friend Stephen Blake.

0:52:01 > 0:52:03Working with Stephen is perfect.

0:52:03 > 0:52:05Like, when we dance on our own, a lot of the time,

0:52:05 > 0:52:07our doubts and anxieties hold us back with what we're doing.

0:52:07 > 0:52:10But when we're on stage together, I think we become, like,

0:52:10 > 0:52:13really cheeky lads. Just enjoy ourselves.

0:52:13 > 0:52:16MUSIC: Feel Like That by Dogg Master

0:52:55 > 0:52:58And to bring this street dance final to a close,

0:52:58 > 0:53:01Darren's final piece is titled To My Soul.

0:53:01 > 0:53:05MUSIC: To My Soul by Jerry Folk

0:54:43 > 0:54:47CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:54:56 > 0:54:58Darren, I thought, made some really,

0:54:58 > 0:55:00really strong choices

0:55:00 > 0:55:02and was very entertaining.

0:55:02 > 0:55:05You can see his maturity within his technique.

0:55:05 > 0:55:09He comes, really, from an improvisation background,

0:55:09 > 0:55:11as a freestyler, and it was good to see him

0:55:11 > 0:55:13develop characters on stage.

0:55:13 > 0:55:16When you're there, you see all the faces and that

0:55:16 > 0:55:18and you're like, "Oh, my days. This is a big performance."

0:55:18 > 0:55:22It went really well. I did what I set out to do and I enjoyed it.

0:55:43 > 0:55:45I thought it was an absolutely terrific evening.

0:55:45 > 0:55:48As a judge, it was very tough because each one of them had

0:55:48 > 0:55:50a very special quality.

0:55:50 > 0:55:52The standard tonight was amazing,

0:55:52 > 0:55:55very energetic, very well thought through.

0:55:55 > 0:55:57All five dancers used popping,

0:55:57 > 0:56:00but they all brought the technique with their own character,

0:56:00 > 0:56:04so it was really versatile and really interesting to watch.

0:56:04 > 0:56:07To try and find who was the best was quite a difficult task.

0:56:07 > 0:56:10Their performative skills were very, very impressive

0:56:10 > 0:56:12and I really enjoyed watching all of them.

0:56:16 > 0:56:20CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

0:56:21 > 0:56:24I would like to begin by congratulating

0:57:01 > 0:57:04Jodelle, I really liked because of his character,

0:57:04 > 0:57:08and because of the creativity of his movement.

0:57:08 > 0:57:11I think there's an element of his virtuosity, but also

0:57:11 > 0:57:15he kept it real, so there was a great amount of integrity.

0:57:15 > 0:57:18He delivered, to a very good standard

0:57:18 > 0:57:21on all the three pieces of performance.

0:57:21 > 0:57:23All three of the judges were very impressed.

0:57:23 > 0:57:27It's something, like, above technique that we were looking for

0:57:27 > 0:57:31and Jodelle was definitely a winner tonight.

0:57:31 > 0:57:33- PHONE RINGS ON PHONE:- 'Jodelle?'
