0:01:46 > 0:01:49I got a ticket to nationals! Whoo!
0:01:49 > 0:01:52Lindsey, the judges have been looking for this everywhere.
0:01:52 > 0:01:53You did not get three yeses.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56OK.
0:01:58 > 0:02:03First to audition, it's 14-year-old street dancer Joe.
0:02:03 > 0:02:05Dancing is just such a huge part of my life.
0:02:05 > 0:02:07It's like I dance nearly every day.
0:02:08 > 0:02:12In school I got detention for dancing. It's just what I do.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13I just love it.
0:02:13 > 0:02:16It's just like when you're on stage, you just feel like
0:02:16 > 0:02:19something's inside and you just burst out, come out.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22It just makes me want to do dance even more.
0:02:25 > 0:02:26Joe, come on over.
0:02:26 > 0:02:30- You've got swag, I like that.- Yeah. - You seem ready for this audition.
0:02:30 > 0:02:32- Feeling good?- Yeah. - Good luck.- Thanks.
0:02:32 > 0:02:34Impress those judges. Go for it.
0:02:34 > 0:02:37Remember, Joe needs a yes from all three of our judges
0:02:37 > 0:02:40if he's to secure a ticket for nationals.
0:02:42 > 0:02:45- Hey.- Hello.- What's your name? - My name's Joe.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47How long have you been dancing for, Joe?
0:02:47 > 0:02:48I've been dancing since I was four.
0:02:48 > 0:02:51- The floor is yours. - Thank you.- Show me what you got.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27I just can't help but like you.
0:03:27 > 0:03:29You've got serious charisma.
0:03:29 > 0:03:32Standing there, talking to us, dancing.
0:03:32 > 0:03:35It's just burning off of you and I really like that.
0:03:35 > 0:03:37She likes you, Joe.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I do. I like when you get into it.
0:03:39 > 0:03:42But it's like you put stank face on, but it's real,
0:03:42 > 0:03:44it's not like put-on stank face.
0:03:44 > 0:03:48- I'm not a fan of the stank face thing. I don't get it.- I am.
0:03:48 > 0:03:49I find it really distracting.
0:03:49 > 0:03:52I'm not sure whether you're in pain...
0:03:52 > 0:03:55- No, it's like attitude. - Yeah, I mean, I get that.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58I get that it's that, but what other faces do you have other than stank?
0:03:58 > 0:04:01- Angry face, I can do. - Show me angry face.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06Yeah! Now show me happy face.
0:04:06 > 0:04:08Yeah!
0:04:08 > 0:04:11Now, show me stank face just so I can like...
0:04:11 > 0:04:14Yeah. No, I'm not a fan of the stank face.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17- But, Joe, I'm a fan of you. Good job.- Thanks.
0:04:17 > 0:04:21So, you need three yeses to go through to nationals. Kim?
0:04:21 > 0:04:24I think you're that One Direction character of dance.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26- I can't help it, I see it. - Oh, big compliment.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29I think The Next Step might just love you.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31- So, yes.- Thank you.
0:04:31 > 0:04:33- It's a yes for me, Joe.- Thank you.
0:04:34 > 0:04:36I do like you.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38I do feel like dance-wise you've got some way to go.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42You're good, but if you're too overconfident
0:04:42 > 0:04:45and not willing to learn, that can be troublesome for you.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48No, I am willing to learn. I'm willing to improve.
0:04:48 > 0:04:51I'm willing to learn from other people, other teachers.
0:04:55 > 0:04:57Who's not going to love that face?
0:05:00 > 0:05:03Looks like you're going to nationals then.
0:05:03 > 0:05:04Thank you so much.
0:05:05 > 0:05:07Well done.
0:05:07 > 0:05:10- You have to tank the stank, right? - Yeah.- Yeah.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13He's good, he's got a good character.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16From stank face to smiley face, Joe's done it.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19- How you feeing?- So good, so good. - Oh, my goodness!
0:05:19 > 0:05:21What happened in there?
0:05:21 > 0:05:23John said I was doing a stank face, he wants me to get rid of it.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25Kimberly loved me, she loved me.
0:05:25 > 0:05:27She was just like, "You're the 1D of dance."
0:05:27 > 0:05:30Ooh! What a compliment from Kimberly as well.
0:05:30 > 0:05:32- Go celebrate, Joe.- Thanks.
0:05:32 > 0:05:33Yes!
0:05:35 > 0:05:39So, one audition down and one ticket to nationals secured.
0:05:39 > 0:05:42Yes, I got through to nationals!
0:05:42 > 0:05:44Whoo!
0:05:45 > 0:05:48Can any of these other dancers wow the judges
0:05:48 > 0:05:51and grab a spot alongside Joe in the next round?
0:05:56 > 0:05:58As an overall performance,
0:05:58 > 0:06:00I didn't feel like you were telling me anything.
0:06:00 > 0:06:02It's a no today, but you keep on dancing, OK?
0:06:02 > 0:06:04- Yeah.- Thanks.
0:06:09 > 0:06:12I feel like you're still on your way, still on your journey.
0:06:12 > 0:06:14It's a no from myself today.
0:06:15 > 0:06:20MUSIC: Shake It Off by Taylor Swift
0:06:27 > 0:06:30You've got great energy, great personality,
0:06:30 > 0:06:33I just needed a bit more tap.
0:06:33 > 0:06:35- It's a no today, Jamie.- OK.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38Winning over our three judges clearly won't be easy.
0:06:42 > 0:06:4613-year-old Catherine is no stranger to auditions.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49She's previously trained with a Hollywood talent agency,
0:06:49 > 0:06:51so today should be a breeze.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55I think I'm a little bit more nervous for this audition than
0:06:55 > 0:07:00the other ones because it's The Next Step and I love that show
0:07:00 > 0:07:03cos it's such a big hit, so I think the pressure's really on,
0:07:03 > 0:07:05and I'm just hoping that I can do my best
0:07:05 > 0:07:07and hopefully the judges will like it.
0:07:10 > 0:07:13Catherine, are you a big fan of the show?
0:07:13 > 0:07:17- Yes.- Oh, you had to think about that one. You were like, uh...
0:07:17 > 0:07:18I was going say I'm even bigger fan,
0:07:18 > 0:07:21but I couldn't think of a bigger word than big, so...
0:07:21 > 0:07:24- That is totally fine. - Huge, humongous, enormous.
0:07:24 > 0:07:26OK, and what are you doing for us today?
0:07:26 > 0:07:28- I'm doing contemporary. - Well, the floor is yours.
0:07:28 > 0:07:30- Take it away.- Thank you.

0:08:20 > 0:08:23APPLAUSE
0:08:23 > 0:08:27Catherine, I like you, but I'm not so sure I like that dance.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31Because it's so slow, you had a lot of time to...
0:08:31 > 0:08:33through your port de bras,
0:08:33 > 0:08:37and I just wanted you to lift high release through that port de bras.
0:08:37 > 0:08:41It just would have given it a little bit more grace.
0:08:41 > 0:08:44It was really nice, you've got really great,
0:08:44 > 0:08:47lovely qualities about the way that you move.
0:08:47 > 0:08:49It just needs more strength behind it.
0:08:49 > 0:08:52Just needs a bit more depth to it, a bit more, ough!
0:08:52 > 0:08:54Got to give me something!
0:08:54 > 0:08:57You have a lovely grace about you and it's really actually
0:08:57 > 0:09:01quite mature for such a young dancer, but we just need the kick.
0:09:01 > 0:09:03We're going to go to a vote.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05You need three yeses to go through to nationals.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07I know this means a lot to you.
0:09:09 > 0:09:11Catherine, we're all looking for different things.
0:09:11 > 0:09:14Simeon is looking choreographically, Kimberly is looking at dance
0:09:14 > 0:09:16and I'm looking at personality and character.
0:09:16 > 0:09:19And for that, for your character, it's a yes from me.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21Thank you.
0:09:21 > 0:09:23- Kim?- Oh, I love you.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26That face is gorgeous, you've got a really good facility...
0:09:28 > 0:09:31..but you got to work on that strength.
0:09:31 > 0:09:34It's a no for now. Keep, keep training.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37So, it's a no from myself as well, but keep training,
0:09:37 > 0:09:41keep working hard and really listen to all the advice we gave you today.
0:09:41 > 0:09:43- Thanks for coming down.- Thank you.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45- Thank you, Catherine.- Thanks a lot.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50So, even though I didn't get through
0:09:50 > 0:09:52I'm just really glad I came here today.
0:09:52 > 0:09:55I got really good feedback which I can now work on
0:09:55 > 0:09:57and I wish good luck to everyone else.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01Catherine gave it everything, but the bar is set sky-high.
0:10:04 > 0:10:08Will 14-year-old Erin fare any better?
0:10:10 > 0:10:11- Hi, Erin.- Hello.
0:10:11 > 0:10:13- How are you?- Good, thank you.
0:10:13 > 0:10:16I'm excited to see you dance. Take the floor.
0:10:17 > 0:10:19MUSIC: All Of Me by John Legend
0:11:05 > 0:11:07APPLAUSE
0:11:09 > 0:11:11What I'm concerned about, Erin, is not your dancing.
0:11:11 > 0:11:14We're looking for not just a dancer on this show,
0:11:14 > 0:11:19we're looking for a girl that can hold a story arc in a drama.
0:11:19 > 0:11:24- Yeah.- We're looking for an actress as well,
0:11:24 > 0:11:30and I'm not sure I'm seeing your personality in you, Erin.
0:11:30 > 0:11:33You have a real vision for dance, a real feel for it.
0:11:33 > 0:11:38It was really quite effortless and I enjoyed that. Did you do enough?
0:11:38 > 0:11:40I think there's some personality maybe
0:11:40 > 0:11:42that you just need to be a bit more fearless.
0:11:42 > 0:11:45I feel like you are a good, solid dancer.
0:11:45 > 0:11:48I didn't feel like you had that edge that I would want.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52What would it mean for you to go nationals?
0:11:52 > 0:11:54Erm, it would mean a lot.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I think this is sort of what I want to do with my life,
0:11:57 > 0:12:00so to be able to have this opportunity,
0:12:00 > 0:12:04especially at this age, would open up so much
0:12:04 > 0:12:07doors for me and meeting new people.
0:12:07 > 0:12:09Even today, I've met so many nice people.
0:12:11 > 0:12:13I can see how much this means to you
0:12:13 > 0:12:14and I can see that you're a little upset.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17We all get noes and we all get rejections, OK?
0:12:17 > 0:12:20But I think Kimberly and I both see something in you.
0:12:20 > 0:12:22Would this not be a question for a callback?
0:12:26 > 0:12:28OK. We'll give her a shot. Callback.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Bring some fire when you come back to this callback, OK?
0:12:31 > 0:12:34It's not your dancing, we're not worried about your dancing.
0:12:34 > 0:12:38- Bring some fire from you, yeah? - I will. Thank you.
0:12:38 > 0:12:40LINDSEY: So, it's a callback for Erin.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43That means she's earned the opportunity to come back
0:12:43 > 0:12:47at the end of the day and dance again.
0:12:47 > 0:12:49I think if there was ever a case for a callback, really...
0:12:49 > 0:12:51that's one.
0:12:51 > 0:12:54But she'll need to perform her heart out to stand a chance
0:12:54 > 0:12:56of going through to nationals.
0:12:58 > 0:13:02Our judges are demanding, but they need to be.
0:13:02 > 0:13:05This isn't just any dance contest.
0:13:06 > 0:13:11The prize on offer is nothing less than the opportunity of a lifetime -
0:13:11 > 0:13:13a guest role on The Next Step.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Being a part of The Next Step,
0:13:15 > 0:13:16it's amazing.
0:13:16 > 0:13:17It's an amazing feeling.
0:13:17 > 0:13:21Especially considering the success of the show.
0:13:21 > 0:13:26Now, to see, after four seasons, what it's become, and it's awesome.
0:13:30 > 0:13:33So, it's no surprise that our regional auditions were proving
0:13:33 > 0:13:38a magnet for Next Step superfans from every corner of the UK.
0:13:41 > 0:13:45On a scale of one to ten, how much do you love The Next Step?
0:13:45 > 0:13:4720.
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Me and my sister are addicted to it.
0:13:50 > 0:13:53Would it be quite the dream come true to become part of it?
0:13:53 > 0:13:54Yeah.
0:13:56 > 0:13:59- Who's your favourite character? - I think my favourite's Michelle.
0:13:59 > 0:14:00I really love Emily.
0:14:00 > 0:14:01- Eldon.- Riley.
0:14:01 > 0:14:04- Giselle.- Daniel.- Amanda.
0:14:04 > 0:14:06It's West, because he's just so funny
0:14:06 > 0:14:08and all the tricks he does is amazing.
0:14:08 > 0:14:12And when he delivers a dance, he always does the best he can.
0:14:12 > 0:14:16Well, this is your chance to take the next step, so take to the floor.

0:15:17 > 0:15:18Thank you.

0:15:21 > 0:15:24- It's a yes from me.- Thank you.
0:15:24 > 0:15:26What would it mean to you to go through?
0:15:26 > 0:15:30It would mean the world to me because I love The Next Step
0:15:30 > 0:15:34and I watch it all the time and to actually get to go to nationals
0:15:34 > 0:15:36would just be a step further.
0:15:40 > 0:15:41It's a yes from me.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48- See you at nationals.- Thank you so much.- Thank you.- Take care.

0:16:05 > 0:16:09In London, 14-year-old Khyrese was also hoping that today's audition
0:16:09 > 0:16:12could be the first step on a journey to a starring role
0:16:12 > 0:16:14in his favourite TV show.
0:16:17 > 0:16:21If I was on The Next Step it would mean literally everything
0:16:21 > 0:16:24because I would dance with my heroes.
0:16:24 > 0:16:26It would just be so...
0:16:26 > 0:16:28It would be so amazing.
0:16:29 > 0:16:32Don't be nervous. You seem really nervous.
0:16:32 > 0:16:34There you go. Shake it out.

0:17:33 > 0:17:36Well done. I'm going to start with Simeon.
0:17:36 > 0:17:39I don't want generic street dancers. I want magicians.
0:17:39 > 0:17:43You started improvising, using your finger, that's what I want to see.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I'm looking for someone who's got that edge.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47I love your level of movement.
0:17:47 > 0:17:50When it is real to you, that's when it's yummy.
0:17:51 > 0:17:54But I also need it to be real right here
0:17:54 > 0:17:57cos this is a TV show as well and you've got to be able to act,
0:17:57 > 0:18:00you've got to be able to become a part of that as well.
0:18:00 > 0:18:02Yeah, it's a tough one for me, mate.
0:18:02 > 0:18:05It is, it's a tough one for me.
0:18:06 > 0:18:10When you perform for me you look off to somewhere here.
0:18:10 > 0:18:14And it's...not connecting with me.
0:18:14 > 0:18:15Who inspires you?
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Lots of people.
0:18:17 > 0:18:22- People from Next Step, Hunter, Giselle, West.- Why do you like them?
0:18:22 > 0:18:27Because Hunter, his style's so grimy and flowy.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30And then Giselle's got all the...
0:18:30 > 0:18:32tricks.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36And then West is all like... isolation, slow.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40- Yeah.- And who are you? What do you bring?
0:18:40 > 0:18:43What's your style? What's your flow?
0:18:43 > 0:18:45My flow is just...
0:18:52 > 0:18:56I...just want this so much.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01You need three yeses to get through to the nationals.
0:19:01 > 0:19:04It's going to be the fight of your life.
0:19:08 > 0:19:11I believe in you. It's a yes from me.
0:19:13 > 0:19:16It's a yes from me. I love your passion,
0:19:16 > 0:19:19and you really want it, and I commend you for that.
0:19:19 > 0:19:21- Thank you.- Johnny?
0:19:21 > 0:19:25Every kid that comes through this door wants it.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27I'll show you. In here.
0:19:27 > 0:19:29I'll show you that I want it.
0:19:29 > 0:19:33That's what an audition is. You have to show it right here, right now.
0:19:38 > 0:19:41And you did. It's a yes from me.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44SIMEON BIRD CALLS
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Boom.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Thank you so much.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Come here. Come get your ticket to nationals.
0:19:50 > 0:19:54LINDSEY: Our judges have really put him through his paces,
0:19:54 > 0:19:57but Khyrese has done just enough to convince them
0:19:57 > 0:20:00he deserves a place in the next round.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04Whoo! How are you feeling?
0:20:04 > 0:20:07I'm so excited.
0:20:07 > 0:20:10- You've got a ticket to nationals. - Yeah.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12He worked hard for that.
0:20:12 > 0:20:15You're one step closer to dancing with The Next Step team.
0:20:15 > 0:20:18- How does that sound?- Amazing.
0:20:21 > 0:20:25It's party time for a delighted Khyrese.
0:20:25 > 0:20:27# I'm going to nationals
0:20:27 > 0:20:29# I'm going to nationals. #
0:20:29 > 0:20:31Yep, I'm going to nationals.
0:20:31 > 0:20:34But 11-year-old Esha has some work to do.
0:20:34 > 0:20:38- Hello.- Hello.- What's your name? - Esha.- Hi, Esha.- Hello.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40What does it feel like when you dance?
0:20:40 > 0:20:45I just love it. I just listen to the music and be myself.
0:20:45 > 0:20:49Good. You be yourself today. The floor is yours. Take it away.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52MUSIC: Human by Christina Perri
0:21:41 > 0:21:43APPLAUSE
0:21:43 > 0:21:45- I really enjoyed that performance. - Thank you.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48There's been very few people that's come out and really touched me,
0:21:48 > 0:21:52and that was the way you switch into the mode, you got into it,
0:21:52 > 0:21:55- was that... Really was amazing. - Thank you.- Kim?
0:21:55 > 0:21:57Technically there's some things going on through those legs
0:21:57 > 0:22:01and whatnot, but that real emotion was beautiful.
0:22:01 > 0:22:02Thank you.
0:22:02 > 0:22:05And I like your quality of movement, it's a bit different,
0:22:05 > 0:22:10it's a bit quirky, it's a bit understated, but really grown up.
0:22:10 > 0:22:15When you're dancing you become this fearless warrior.
0:22:15 > 0:22:18You look like you could break down walls.
0:22:18 > 0:22:21But when you stand here in front of me,
0:22:21 > 0:22:25I'm not so sure that person could break down a wall.
0:22:25 > 0:22:28Cos we're not just looking for a dancer,
0:22:28 > 0:22:31we're looking for somebody who can be a fearless actress too.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34- Yeah.- Is that you, Esha?- Yes.
0:22:34 > 0:22:36Esha, I'm going to have
0:22:36 > 0:22:38a little conversation with my friends over here.
0:22:38 > 0:22:41If you don't mind, just give us a minute.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47(I'm just wondering from the other contemporary girl that
0:22:47 > 0:22:49(we've kept through to a callback,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51(where does that stand up against it?
0:22:54 > 0:22:58(Do you mind if I call her back to see them together?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00- (I don't mind.- No, I don't mind.)
0:23:00 > 0:23:04So, we've had a little talk...
0:23:04 > 0:23:05and we're a bit undecided.
0:23:05 > 0:23:09We like your dancing, but we want to see more of your personality,
0:23:09 > 0:23:11so we're going to invite you to a callback.
0:23:11 > 0:23:14- That's happening at the end of today. Is that OK with you?- Yes.
0:23:14 > 0:23:17So, it looks like Erin and Esha will be going head-to-head
0:23:17 > 0:23:19at those all-important callbacks.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Their dancing has impressed the judges,
0:23:21 > 0:23:25but if either of these dancers wants to secure a spot at nationals
0:23:25 > 0:23:28their personalities will really need to shine.
0:23:34 > 0:23:35As the day rolls on,
0:23:35 > 0:23:39competition for those prized tickets remains as fierce as ever.
0:23:41 > 0:23:44But that hasn't stopped friendships from forming backstage.
0:23:44 > 0:23:47We're feeling a bit nervous because we're the only two callbacks.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49It could go either way.
0:23:49 > 0:23:52We could both get in, we could both not get in, or only one of us.
0:23:55 > 0:23:58No matter what happens, we'll still be friends.
0:23:58 > 0:24:00No? OK.
0:24:00 > 0:24:01OK.
0:24:01 > 0:24:03That's harsh. That's harsh.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09And Joe and Khyrese who are already safely through to nationals
0:24:09 > 0:24:13have stuck around to offer the girls some moral support.
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Can we have our final two callbacks,
0:24:15 > 0:24:17that's Esha and Erin, please?
0:24:23 > 0:24:25So, guys, what's going to happen now -
0:24:25 > 0:24:26we're going to play you a track,
0:24:26 > 0:24:28you can use the material you've done before
0:24:28 > 0:24:30or you can totally improv and freestyle it.
0:24:30 > 0:24:35All we're looking for is quality of performance, not just technique.
0:24:35 > 0:24:37Erin, you'll stand over here. Esha, you will go first.
0:24:37 > 0:24:40Start when you're ready. Please, take your place.
0:24:40 > 0:24:42MUSIC STARTS
0:25:02 > 0:25:04And relax.
0:25:04 > 0:25:05And switch over.
0:25:23 > 0:25:25And relax.
0:25:25 > 0:25:27If you could both come back for me, please.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32We're going to take a couple of minutes
0:25:32 > 0:25:33to speak about the both of you.
0:25:33 > 0:25:36You can leave and we'll invite you back in in a second.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38- Thank you.- Thanks a lot.
0:25:38 > 0:25:40- How do you think each other did? - She is amazing.
0:25:40 > 0:25:43You were so good. You were like popping and locking.
0:25:43 > 0:25:47- I was like, "So good." - I love this support that's going,
0:25:47 > 0:25:49cos you both really want each other
0:25:49 > 0:25:51- to get a ticket to nationals, don't you? BOTH:- Yeah.
0:25:51 > 0:25:54So, I was really surprised actually
0:25:54 > 0:25:57because she really pulled it out the bag.
0:25:58 > 0:26:03Do you think there's a possibility that they could both go through,
0:26:03 > 0:26:06both this girl and this girl?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09My honest opinion is no.
0:26:09 > 0:26:13My honesty says there's one girl that came to that callback,
0:26:13 > 0:26:16killed it and deserves it.
0:26:16 > 0:26:18Judges' deliberation finally over,
0:26:18 > 0:26:21it's time for Esha and Erin to learn their fate.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31Hello, ladies. How are you feeling?
0:26:31 > 0:26:34- BOTH:- Nervous.- Nervous. - KIM CHUCKLES
0:26:34 > 0:26:39It's been a really tough day. I know this means so much to each of you.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43So we've made a decision.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48One of you did brilliantly...
0:26:48 > 0:26:51the other still needs a little bit of work.
0:26:55 > 0:26:59But there's people that believe in you behind this desk
0:26:59 > 0:27:02that want to see you put that work to good use.
0:27:02 > 0:27:04So we've decided...
0:27:07 > 0:27:10..to take both of you through to nationals.
0:27:11 > 0:27:14- Thank you so much. - Come get your tickets, ladies.
0:27:16 > 0:27:18Congratulations.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21Girls? Oh, my goodness!
0:27:21 > 0:27:23Oh, my goodness!
0:27:23 > 0:27:25Two tickets to nationals.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27I've got goose bumps. I think I'm going to cry.
0:27:27 > 0:27:29Well done, guys. Good job. Whoo!
0:27:37 > 0:27:40A fantastic end to the day in London,
0:27:40 > 0:27:44as new-found friends Esha and Erin deliver callback performances
0:27:44 > 0:27:48packed with enough personality to win over the judges.

0:27:52 > 0:27:55- Next time...- Whoo!
0:27:58 > 0:28:00Do you have the potential?
0:28:00 > 0:28:02Are you this guy?
0:28:02 > 0:28:05This right now, it's not right.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Girl, you brought me to tears.
0:28:08 > 0:28:09I'm going to say yes.
0:28:09 > 0:28:11It's a yes from me.
0:28:11 > 0:28:13I think you just danced your way to nationals.
