0:00:23 > 0:00:27Hello, and welcome to Alesha's Street Dance Stars.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30This is my quest to find Britain's ultimate young street-dance crew.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33We've auditioned hundreds of brilliant performers
0:00:33 > 0:00:34from across the UK,
0:00:34 > 0:00:38and now 24 crews have been invited to strut their stuff on this stage.
0:00:38 > 0:00:42The winners will be crowned Alesha's Street Dance Stars 2011,
0:00:42 > 0:00:45and take home this fabulous trophy.
0:00:45 > 0:00:49So, practise your popping, cos this is going to be epic.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58It's round one of the qualifiers,
0:00:58 > 0:01:02and it's our crews' first chance to impress.
0:01:02 > 0:01:05It's a nervous wait backstage as the crews warm up.
0:01:05 > 0:01:08But the atmosphere is electric.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Eight crews will be dancing today,
0:01:11 > 0:01:14but only five will be selected to go through to the heats,
0:01:14 > 0:01:18so the pressure is on to deliver a perfect performance.
0:01:19 > 0:01:22So, we have eight crews ready to perform.
0:01:22 > 0:01:25Now, let's meet the three people who will decide their fate.
0:01:25 > 0:01:26It's our judges.
0:01:30 > 0:01:32MUSIC PLAYS
0:01:40 > 0:01:42My name's Kenrick "H2O" Sandy, a choreographer
0:01:42 > 0:01:44and a pioneer of UK street dance.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49For me, it is about pioneering, it is about innovating,
0:01:49 > 0:01:51bringing the next new thing.
0:01:53 > 0:01:56Technique in street dance is very important.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59It's the difference between someone who's very, very good
0:01:59 > 0:02:01and someone who's OK.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13I'm Lizzie Gough,
0:02:13 > 0:02:17I'm a choreographer and professional dancer.
0:02:17 > 0:02:20I'm most famous for being on So You Think You Can Dance.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24I was a finalist, and I came third in the country.
0:02:24 > 0:02:30I'm looking for fresh, new ideas, but also knowing their foundation,
0:02:30 > 0:02:31cos I feel that's very important.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45I'm Turbo, international street-dance star.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49The thing I'm going to be looking for on the show while I'm judging is
0:02:49 > 0:02:50people that can deliver.
0:02:50 > 0:02:53Show me your showmanship, show me that you can perform to me
0:02:53 > 0:02:55and you can perform to a wide audience.
0:02:57 > 0:03:01Without street dance, there's no Turbo. Just like that.
0:03:11 > 0:03:14Alesha will be on hand backstage to fire up our crews
0:03:14 > 0:03:15before they perform.
0:03:18 > 0:03:22First up in front of our judges, it's an all-girl crew who mean business.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25They describe themselves as being giggly,
0:03:25 > 0:03:28hard-working and best friends.
0:03:28 > 0:03:31- ALL:- Hi, we're Shockarellas, and we're from Manchester.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58# Ching, ching Getting paid over here
0:03:58 > 0:04:00# Thirsty, baby, bring it over here
0:04:00 > 0:04:02# Thirsty, baby Bring it over here ... #
0:04:03 > 0:04:06I don't know what to say, other than
0:04:06 > 0:04:09give me more, give me more, give me more!
0:04:09 > 0:04:10# I whip my hair back and forth
0:04:10 > 0:04:12# I whip my hair back and forth
0:04:12 > 0:04:13# I whip my hair back and forth
0:04:13 > 0:04:15# I whip my hair back and forth
0:04:15 > 0:04:16# I whip my hair back and forth
0:04:16 > 0:04:18# I whip my hair back and forth
0:04:18 > 0:04:20# I whip my hair back and forth... #
0:04:20 > 0:04:23Your swagger - you guys are making me bite my teeth!
0:04:27 > 0:04:29# Motownphilly's back again
0:04:32 > 0:04:34# Doin' a little east-coast swing
0:04:36 > 0:04:38# Boyz II Men going off
0:04:41 > 0:04:43# Not too hard, not too soft... #
0:04:47 > 0:04:50Ladies, that was really, really, really good.
0:04:50 > 0:04:52What I like to see is females doing their thing
0:04:52 > 0:04:53and making it feel like
0:04:53 > 0:04:56street-dance hip hop is not just a masculine thing,
0:04:56 > 0:05:00it's not just about the mandem - the girldem as well!
0:05:00 > 0:05:03You understand? Sometimes it feels as though
0:05:03 > 0:05:05girls shouldn't do certain things,
0:05:05 > 0:05:08and youse were physical, youse were fierce, youse were strong,
0:05:08 > 0:05:12you all have nice facials, and the performance was really good.
0:05:12 > 0:05:14- And you took the stage. Well done. ALL:- Thank you.
0:05:14 > 0:05:17I thought you guys were amazing. Your musicality was on point.
0:05:17 > 0:05:20Just one thing is your locking.
0:05:20 > 0:05:22I think you need to go back again to the basics,
0:05:22 > 0:05:24cos you have it, don't get me wrong,
0:05:24 > 0:05:29but sometimes just the way you did the move wasn't correct, in a sense.
0:05:29 > 0:05:31GIRLS SQUEAL
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Well done, girls. Well done.
0:05:40 > 0:05:43This b-boy crew have a neat trick up their sleeves - one of them can
0:05:43 > 0:05:46spin on his head without the use of his hands.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Will it be enough to impress our judges?
0:05:50 > 0:05:52- ALL:- We're the Minions, and you'd better watch your back.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55Going to bring it to the table? Feeling good?
0:05:55 > 0:05:58- You going to win this?- ALL:- Yeah. - You going to win this?- ALL:- YEAH!
0:05:58 > 0:06:00Let me see you guys do it. Off you go, good luck, guys.
0:06:00 > 0:06:04- Have a good one, all right? Hair looks good, by the way.- Thank you.
0:06:16 > 0:06:18You know I love music
0:06:18 > 0:06:21And every time I hear something hot it makes me want to move.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23It makes me want to have fun.
0:06:23 > 0:06:26But there's something about this joint right here.
0:06:26 > 0:06:30This joint right here, it makes me want to, oh...
0:06:30 > 0:06:33# No time for moping around - are you kidding... #
0:06:33 > 0:06:36I was smiling watching you guys, inside and out.
0:06:36 > 0:06:38I felt it entertained.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41# It's been a long week I put in my hardest
0:06:41 > 0:06:44# Going to live my life Feels so good to get it right
0:06:44 > 0:06:46# So I like what I see When I'm looking at me
0:06:46 > 0:06:48# When I'm walking past the mirror
0:06:48 > 0:06:50# No stress through the night At a time in my life
0:06:50 > 0:06:53# Ain't worried about if you feel it
0:06:53 > 0:06:55# Got my head on straight I got my vibe right
0:06:55 > 0:06:57# I ain't going to let you kill it
0:06:57 > 0:06:59# See, I wouldn't change my life
0:06:59 > 0:07:05# My life's just fine, fine Fine, fine, fine, fine, woo
0:07:05 > 0:07:07- # Fine, fine... #- This is serious!
0:07:09 > 0:07:10Them head spins is ridiculous, OK?
0:07:13 > 0:07:16And you did it without a hat. I know that really hurts.
0:07:16 > 0:07:19I have to do it with a hat, I'm such a wuss. I feel like a wuss now.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21# I wouldn't change my life
0:07:21 > 0:07:23# My life's just... #
0:07:25 > 0:07:28Your landings were on point, your threading was great on the floor,
0:07:28 > 0:07:31I just want to see more from you.
0:07:31 > 0:07:34I would definitely like to see more choreography.
0:07:34 > 0:07:37For me, I'm about evolution and innovating and pushing,
0:07:37 > 0:07:40so I'd like to see youse lot push those boundaries, definitely,
0:07:40 > 0:07:42- and choreography.- It was sick,
0:07:42 > 0:07:46very sick, and is there space for another member, OK?!

0:08:13 > 0:08:17- ALL:- We're Party Rockers and we're from Belfast!
0:08:17 > 0:08:20Is there anything you can tell me about your dance style?
0:08:20 > 0:08:22What is it? Is it straight-up dance,
0:08:22 > 0:08:25is there any locking or popping, or is it just...?
0:08:25 > 0:08:29It's locking, popping, breaking, new school, whacking.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32Right, I wish you guys the best of luck. I'll be waiting for you
0:08:32 > 0:08:34- when you come out.- Bye-bye.- Bye-bye!

0:09:04 > 0:09:06# Somebody to love... #
0:09:06 > 0:09:09I really liked your flavour, your vibe,
0:09:09 > 0:09:12and the variety of the grooves that you're using.
0:09:12 > 0:09:15# Calling me Mick Jagger I be rolling like a stone
0:09:15 > 0:09:17# Jetsetter, jetlagger... #
0:09:17 > 0:09:18You got mad skills.
0:09:18 > 0:09:22When you did your applejacks, you guys kick at the same time,
0:09:22 > 0:09:24and I see you guys timed it perfectly.
0:09:24 > 0:09:26# Chicks in the club
0:09:26 > 0:09:29# Honey, what's up? #
0:09:29 > 0:09:31I thought that was really, really good.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34I can see a lot of grounding, I can see a lot of foundation,
0:09:34 > 0:09:35and then you had the hype man!
0:09:35 > 0:09:39You had your little hype man here, waiting, going, "You know what?
0:09:39 > 0:09:41"I'm-a do my thing," he does his thing,
0:09:41 > 0:09:43"I'll chill for a minute... I'll do my thing again,"
0:09:43 > 0:09:45which is really, really good.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48I feel if he was involved in it more, that would have been good,
0:09:48 > 0:09:51but it was a really good performance, so well done, guys.
0:09:51 > 0:09:54- ALL:- Thank you. - I enjoyed watching you guys.
0:09:54 > 0:09:56One thing I have to pick out, as well,
0:09:56 > 0:09:59which I personally like was, from your house,
0:09:59 > 0:10:03you started doing some house steps, and it went into hype steps.
0:10:03 > 0:10:07OK, I see where you're going, all right! Watching out for you guys!
0:10:07 > 0:10:11- Well done, guys! How was that? - ALL:- Brilliant.
0:10:17 > 0:10:20Our next crew pride themselves on being perfectionists.
0:10:20 > 0:10:23They're hoping that a perfect performance today will
0:10:23 > 0:10:25leave our judges speechless.
0:10:25 > 0:10:28- ALL:- We're Beat Breakers, and we're from Plymouth.
0:10:29 > 0:10:32- OK, guys, are you ready?- Yeah. - Best of luck. Fingers crossed.
0:10:32 > 0:10:35Have a good one, we'll be waiting for you, OK? Good luck.
0:10:45 > 0:10:47# I'm fly, so fly
0:10:47 > 0:10:48# See me now, I'm so fly
0:10:48 > 0:10:51# I'm fly, so fly
0:10:51 > 0:10:53# Na-na-na-na-na-na-ni-ni-ni
0:10:53 > 0:10:54# Na-na-ni-ni-ni
0:10:54 > 0:10:57# Na-na-na-na-ni-ni-ni... #
0:10:57 > 0:11:00# Spirit is moving, spirit is moving
0:11:00 > 0:11:02# Can't stop moving Can't stop moving
0:11:02 > 0:11:03# Can't stop moving... #
0:11:03 > 0:11:06I loved the beginning, you have a great technique,
0:11:06 > 0:11:08and you're so light on your feet.
0:11:08 > 0:11:10# Told me not to change it
0:11:10 > 0:11:13# If a change could ever be... #
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Beat Breakers!
0:11:38 > 0:11:39Yes!
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Smashed it!
0:11:40 > 0:11:43You've got good skills, you've got really good skills,
0:11:43 > 0:11:45and you've got good foundation.
0:11:45 > 0:11:47Just work on how you finish your moves.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49There was one bit where you went...
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Make sure you're all on the same page with that.
0:11:52 > 0:11:54- But for me, that was some good hip hop. ALL:- Thank you.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Over all I really liked that, even with your flips,
0:11:57 > 0:11:59you couldn't hear you land, that's how light you were.
0:11:59 > 0:12:02Just be careful in between moves that you don't fidget,
0:12:02 > 0:12:05like, pull your trousers up or pull your jumper down,
0:12:05 > 0:12:08cos just for half a second it just takes your focus off that.
0:12:08 > 0:12:11But other than that, it was brilliant.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13- You, sorry, what's your name?- Perry.
0:12:13 > 0:12:16You actually make me want to house with you.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18I can see you get into it. I can see that you enjoy it.
0:12:18 > 0:12:19I love house.
0:12:19 > 0:12:22Talking about loving the house!
0:12:29 > 0:12:33High five! Well done. Well done. Well done.
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- Thank you.- It was amazing.
0:12:36 > 0:12:38Tell me, why was it amazing?
0:12:38 > 0:12:41- They liked it.- Yes. - It went really well.
0:12:41 > 0:12:45I don't think they had anything bad to say, did they?
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Just pulling our jumpers down.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50I didn't even notice that when I was watching.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Our trousers! ALESHA LAUGHS

0:15:06 > 0:15:08GLASS SHATTERS
0:15:08 > 0:15:10Who did the choreography?
0:15:10 > 0:15:13Oh, you did. Ah, so you don't have a choreographer to watch you?
0:15:13 > 0:15:16Well done to you, then. It is hard to choreograph AND be in it.
0:15:16 > 0:15:19Make sure you don't chew your tongue when you're dancing.
0:15:19 > 0:15:23I noticed that, OK? And all of you look up, yeah?
0:15:23 > 0:15:25Just be more confident, that's all you need to be.
0:15:25 > 0:15:28Once you get on that stage, it belongs to you,
0:15:28 > 0:15:30so you got like one minute...
0:15:30 > 0:15:33you control it, use it. All that space there is yours.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38One thing for me is just make sure that you work on your flavour
0:15:38 > 0:15:39and your swagger.
0:15:39 > 0:15:42Really kind of get earthy on that, yeah?
0:15:42 > 0:15:46- Well done.- Thank you.- Well done. - Thank you.- Well done.
0:15:46 > 0:15:48Well done, well done, well done.
0:15:52 > 0:15:57It's about quality and quantity for the power crew going up next.
0:15:57 > 0:16:00With 11 girls and just one boy,
0:16:00 > 0:16:03they're aiming to blow the judges away with their routine.
0:16:03 > 0:16:04- ALL:- Team!
0:16:04 > 0:16:07- ALL:- We're Xtreme and we're from Rotherham!
0:16:08 > 0:16:11There's a lot of you here. We've got one guy over there.
0:16:11 > 0:16:13What's your name?
0:16:13 > 0:16:15- Kesho.- How does it feel to be in amongst the lovely ladies?
0:16:15 > 0:16:17It's great!

0:16:42 > 0:16:44Wow!
0:16:44 > 0:16:47When you guys started dancing, those colours started to come out.
0:16:47 > 0:16:49It's like I can see colours on stage -
0:16:49 > 0:16:51you just brightened the stage up with your energy.
0:16:51 > 0:16:55# Live your life, live your life
0:16:55 > 0:16:58# Let that love inside... #
0:16:59 > 0:17:00Like, you really surprised me.
0:17:00 > 0:17:04I didn't expect that from you guys at all, the girls doing the tricks.
0:17:04 > 0:17:07# It's inside you
0:17:07 > 0:17:09# Don't let 'em bring you down
0:17:09 > 0:17:10# No
0:17:12 > 0:17:14# Oh-whoa
0:17:14 > 0:17:16# Don't you know? Don't you know?
0:17:16 > 0:17:19- # Oh-whoa - Beautiful, don't you know?
0:17:19 > 0:17:21# Oh-whoa
0:17:21 > 0:17:23# Don't you know? Don't you know?
0:17:23 > 0:17:25# Oh-whoa

0:17:27 > 0:17:29# Know, know, know
0:17:29 > 0:17:33# You'll be with those beautiful people. #
0:17:37 > 0:17:38I really enjoyed that, guys.
0:17:38 > 0:17:42There was so much going on, it was like, "Oh, where do I look?"
0:17:42 > 0:17:45I would like to see more from you guys, different styles,
0:17:45 > 0:17:47a slower hip-hop kind of thing
0:17:47 > 0:17:49or something that's more down in the ground,
0:17:49 > 0:17:51rather than the really fast stuff.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Cos what you did was really great,
0:17:53 > 0:17:55so it'd be nice to see another side of you guys.
0:17:55 > 0:17:59I did like your ending as well, cos, like, some people just end - BANG!
0:17:59 > 0:18:03Finished, stop there. But you guys were like, "Beautiful people..."
0:18:03 > 0:18:05THEY LAUGH
0:18:05 > 0:18:08THEY SCREAM
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Well done, guys. Well done.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12That was amazing.
0:18:12 > 0:18:16And what was it that Turbo picked up? He said he liked your ending.
0:18:16 > 0:18:17ALL: Yeah.
0:18:17 > 0:18:19The continued ending. Show me that.
0:18:31 > 0:18:32Up next, it's 5XS.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36They may be extra small by name, but don't be fooled -
0:18:36 > 0:18:40these guys are guaranteed to give an XXL performance.
0:18:40 > 0:18:44- ALL:- We're 5XS and we're from Leicester. Woo!
0:18:44 > 0:18:46What will you guys bring that's different?
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Going to show everyone that you're the winners?
0:18:49 > 0:18:52Yeah, we're going to do proper dancing, hardcore.
0:18:52 > 0:18:53Hardcore, proper dancing.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13# Lights, lights, all of the lights
0:19:13 > 0:19:16# Turn up the lights in here, baby
0:19:16 > 0:19:19# Extra bright I want y'all to see this
0:19:19 > 0:19:22# Turn up the lights in here, baby
0:19:22 > 0:19:24# You know what I need
0:19:24 > 0:19:26# Want you to see everything
0:19:26 > 0:19:29# Want you to see all of the lights... #
0:19:29 > 0:19:32Some of the lines that you guys were creating were more dancier.
0:19:35 > 0:19:38# I could stick around and get along with you
0:19:38 > 0:19:39# Hello... #
0:19:42 > 0:19:46- Major Lazer... - Ha-ha! Yes! You see his little face?
0:19:47 > 0:19:49Wicked!
0:19:49 > 0:19:51Pon de floor.
0:20:05 > 0:20:07Pon de floor.
0:20:07 > 0:20:09Pon De Floor, the dip you hit in there.
0:20:09 > 0:20:13When she said, "Pon de floor," BAM! You hit the floor. I'm like, "Yeah."
0:20:13 > 0:20:15Nearly jumped up and hit the ceiling.
0:20:15 > 0:20:17You're standing here like this...
0:20:17 > 0:20:20"Pow! This is me." Like, "This is my stage, OK? This is me.
0:20:20 > 0:20:22"You watch me, you watch what we do, OK?"
0:20:22 > 0:20:24Guys, youse lot are good.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27Youse lot are very mature.
0:20:27 > 0:20:30I want you to be more confident in your grooves and swagger.
0:20:30 > 0:20:33So any time that you've got the arm here,
0:20:33 > 0:20:36make sure you're using your chest. A lot of power comes from there.
0:20:36 > 0:20:38So even though you're using your arms,
0:20:38 > 0:20:41your power's coming from here, so use that a lot more.
0:20:41 > 0:20:44- THEY CHEER - Well done, guys.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47Well done. What did the judges say to you?
0:20:47 > 0:20:50They said that we were, like, mature, cos they thought we were 14, 15,
0:20:50 > 0:20:53but we're only like 11 to 14, so...
0:20:53 > 0:20:56- Ah, interesting!- They said we didn't need flips and stuff -
0:20:56 > 0:20:57the choreography was good.
0:20:57 > 0:20:59Yeah, you guys owned it. So are you very pleased?
0:20:59 > 0:21:02- ALL:- Yeah.- Ready to come back and do it again?
0:21:02 > 0:21:04- ALL:- Yeah.- Definitely. - Good luck, guys.
0:21:09 > 0:21:13Last but not least, this crew have been dancing together for two years.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16They describe themselves as dedicated,
0:21:16 > 0:21:18adventurous and, of course...
0:21:18 > 0:21:20Wicked.
0:21:20 > 0:21:24- ALL:- We're Wicked and we're from Dartford. Woo!
0:21:24 > 0:21:27How long have you been a crew? There's ten of you. So...
0:21:27 > 0:21:29how long has this collective been together?
0:21:29 > 0:21:32- Two years. - That's amazing. You're like family?
0:21:32 > 0:21:33- ALL:- Yeah.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36If you've been together for two years, you'll be tight.
0:21:36 > 0:21:38- ALL:- Yeah. - I wish you the best of luck.
0:21:38 > 0:21:40- ALL:- Thank you. - All right guys, good luck.
0:21:50 > 0:21:52Ha-ha-ha. What you laughin' at?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00# I got 21 seconds to flow
0:22:00 > 0:22:02# I got 21 seconds to go
0:22:02 > 0:22:04# Cos if you like me, let me know Let me in the studio
0:22:04 > 0:22:06# I got 21 seconds before I gotta go
0:22:06 > 0:22:07- # Did you see me in the video? - Oh, no!
0:22:07 > 0:22:09- # Did you see me in the video? - Oh, no!
0:22:09 > 0:22:11# So if you like me, let me know Let me in the studio
0:22:11 > 0:22:13# I got 21 seconds before I gotta go... #
0:22:13 > 0:22:16I really liked the formations, the transitions
0:22:16 > 0:22:18and the use of the stage.
0:22:18 > 0:22:23# Whatever I do I feel the pain
0:22:23 > 0:22:25# With or without you
0:22:26 > 0:22:28# Hey, yeah
0:22:32 > 0:22:33# Let your body fly
0:22:33 > 0:22:35# Everybody jumpin'... #
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Hee-hee!
0:22:37 > 0:22:39# Keep on jumpin'
0:22:39 > 0:22:40# Let your body fly. #
0:22:40 > 0:22:41They're really good!
0:22:41 > 0:22:43# Everybody jumpin'
0:22:43 > 0:22:44# Till you see the sun in the sky
0:22:44 > 0:22:46# Keep on jumpin'
0:22:46 > 0:22:48# Let your body fly
0:22:48 > 0:22:50# Everybody jumpin'
0:22:50 > 0:22:52# Till you see the sun in the sky
0:22:52 > 0:22:53# Keep on jumpin'
0:22:53 > 0:22:55# Let your body fly
0:22:55 > 0:22:57# Everybody jumpin'
0:22:57 > 0:22:59# Till you see the sun in the sky
0:22:59 > 0:23:01# Keep on, on, on, on. #
0:23:01 > 0:23:05SHE MIMES: Ha-ha-ha! What you laughin' at?
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I really enjoyed that, guys. There's just so much going on.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12There's no tricks in the routine whatsoever but it held its own.
0:23:12 > 0:23:15When you do your steps, go through your feet, all I heard was...
0:23:15 > 0:23:17- TAPPING - You know, from your trainers,
0:23:17 > 0:23:20so you just need to make it a bit more oozy
0:23:20 > 0:23:24so that when you're doing the house, it's got a bit more flavour to it.
0:23:24 > 0:23:27Be careful when you're doing transitions and formations -
0:23:27 > 0:23:29your routine starts to lose its tightness.
0:23:29 > 0:23:32When it starts to open up a little bit, I'm starting to see
0:23:32 > 0:23:35mistakes here and there. Other than that, it was really good.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38The beginning bit - "You see me in the video? Oh, no."
0:23:38 > 0:23:40There's a part where you guys go, "Oh, no,"
0:23:40 > 0:23:42and I'm like, "Ooh, yes, get in there!
0:23:42 > 0:23:44"Get it, get it, dig it deep!" I like that.
0:23:44 > 0:23:46You got the swagger down, I went...
0:23:46 > 0:23:48HE GROANS HAPPILY
0:23:48 > 0:23:49OK?
0:23:49 > 0:23:51It was "Wicked"!
0:23:51 > 0:23:52THEY LAUGH
0:23:53 > 0:23:55THEY ALL SCREAM
0:24:02 > 0:24:05It's time for the judges to begin deliberating.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08Sadly, we have to say goodbye to three of our crews
0:24:08 > 0:24:10and only the strongest performances will go forward.
0:24:10 > 0:24:12Who will they choose?
0:24:12 > 0:24:17Here's a quick reminder of all eight stage-shattering performances.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19Earlier, we saw Shockarellas from Manchester.
0:24:22 > 0:24:24The Minions from Coventry.
0:24:26 > 0:24:28Party Rockers from Belfast.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33And Beat Breakers from Plymouth.
0:24:35 > 0:24:39Then we saw Demolition from Leicester.
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Xtreme from Rotherham.
0:24:44 > 0:24:465XS from Leicester.
0:24:46 > 0:24:49And, from Kent, it's Wicked.
0:24:56 > 0:24:57I like these guys.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59They're fresh.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- Even their routine, I think they had something different as well.- Mm-hm.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05- They were really good trickers. - Oh, yeah, definitely. But...
0:25:05 > 0:25:09overall content, was there enough street?
0:25:09 > 0:25:10Enough hip hop?
0:25:10 > 0:25:135XS is different because we don't really do many tricks.
0:25:13 > 0:25:14We just dance.
0:25:14 > 0:25:17We worked hard and it doesn't matter if we don't get through,
0:25:17 > 0:25:18we're so proud.
0:25:18 > 0:25:20- In or out? BOTH:- Compared to the others?
0:25:20 > 0:25:21Out.
0:25:21 > 0:25:23This group right here. Boy.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26- They're untouchable, frankly. - Yeah.- For me.
0:25:26 > 0:25:28- It's quite scary. - I'm going to say yes.
0:25:28 > 0:25:30I was going to say no.
0:25:33 > 0:25:34THEY LAUGH
0:25:34 > 0:25:36Why have youse lot put it on me?!
0:25:36 > 0:25:38Right...
0:25:38 > 0:25:40can we leave them in the middle?
0:25:40 > 0:25:42Right now. Yeah? OK.
0:25:42 > 0:25:44Please put us through to the next round,
0:25:44 > 0:25:47because all of us have so much more to show you.
0:25:47 > 0:25:48And I hope you like it.
0:25:48 > 0:25:52If we get through to the next round, we've got so much more to bring.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53- I like them.- Yeah.
0:25:53 > 0:25:57They're strong. I feel like they have more definitely, anyways.
0:25:57 > 0:26:01So, guys, is this our final decision?
0:26:01 > 0:26:03These five?
0:26:03 > 0:26:04These five.
0:26:05 > 0:26:06For me, yeah, I'm happy.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Turbo?
0:26:08 > 0:26:10I'm happy.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13- I'm very sure of that. - Mm-hmm.- Cool.- Yeah?- Yeah.
0:26:13 > 0:26:14OK. Good.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18That's it, the judges have made their decision.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20Let's find out who they chose.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23Going through to the heats from today's show are...
0:26:27 > 0:26:29- ALL:- To the competition, good luck!
0:26:29 > 0:26:31But we're raising our game for the heats.
0:26:33 > 0:26:37ALL: Watch out in the heats, cos The Minions are burning rubber!
0:26:39 > 0:26:42Good luck to the others, but we'll bring it harder this time.
0:26:42 > 0:26:44We're through to the heats!
0:26:44 > 0:26:46THEY LAUGH AND CHEER
0:26:46 > 0:26:50They performed well, but sadly we'll be saying goodbye to...
0:26:54 > 0:26:57Which means the other two crews going through are...
0:26:59 > 0:27:03- ALL:- 5XS are in the heats! Woooo!
0:27:04 > 0:27:07Good luck to all the other crews, but watch out - we're Wicked!

0:27:39 > 0:27:42We've never been in a competition at this level
0:27:42 > 0:27:43or anything like this before.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47It's a relief that we've finished dancing and we can relax now
0:27:47 > 0:27:48and enjoy ourselves.
0:27:48 > 0:27:51We're all best friends, so we just know each other
0:27:51 > 0:27:54and we'll know where we'll be and we trust each other.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57It's a relief that it's over and all our nerves have gone.
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Alesha was lovely. She spoke to us like we were friends.
