0:00:06 > 0:00:07Take one...

0:00:07 > 0:00:10And they're about to be pushed to their limits by me

0:00:10 > 0:00:14and my top team of experts and stars.

0:00:14 > 0:00:15HE WHOOPS

0:00:15 > 0:00:17I'm Turbo - street dance king.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19And this is....

0:00:19 > 0:00:20Turbo Boost...

0:00:20 > 0:00:22- Awesome.- Yay!

0:00:22 > 0:00:26..where talented kids are set a tough Final Challenge

0:00:26 > 0:00:29and just four weeks to train for it.

0:00:29 > 0:00:30I'm really excited.

0:00:30 > 0:00:32It's bigger than anything

0:00:32 > 0:00:36they've ever done. And there's no guarantee of success.

0:00:36 > 0:00:38Buckle up, it's going to be bumpy ride!

0:00:40 > 0:00:43Today, with the help of some amazing experts

0:00:43 > 0:00:46I'm going to boost two best friends' circus dreams.

0:00:46 > 0:00:49And you guys are going to be turbo-boosted.

0:00:49 > 0:00:51Yay!

0:00:51 > 0:00:54In just four weeks, can they go from performing their

0:00:54 > 0:00:56aerial act in a small church hall...

0:00:56 > 0:01:00..to creating a spectacular show for a crowd of thousands?

0:01:00 > 0:01:04Will they fly through the air? Or fall flat on their faces?

0:01:04 > 0:01:06It's the challenge of a lifetime.

0:01:28 > 0:01:31I've just arrived in Newcastle. Ready to surprise

0:01:31 > 0:01:34not one but two unsuspecting children.

0:01:34 > 0:01:37This talented duo are passionate circus performers.

0:01:37 > 0:01:3913-year-old Freya and Zinzi,

0:01:39 > 0:01:41are in the middle of a circus skills lesson and

0:01:41 > 0:01:44I'm about to walk in and change everything...

0:01:44 > 0:01:45Hi, girls.

0:01:45 > 0:01:50I'm Turbo and you guys are going to be turbo-boosted.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52Yay!

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Oh, my...!

0:01:54 > 0:01:56THEY LAUGH

0:01:56 > 0:01:58Thank you!

0:01:58 > 0:02:01At the end of four weeks, you are both going to be performing a

0:02:01 > 0:02:03double cloud-swing act

0:02:03 > 0:02:07at one of the UK's largest circus festivals.

0:02:07 > 0:02:10- How does that make you feel? - BOTH: Nervous.- A little bit nervous?

0:02:10 > 0:02:13- GIRLS LAUGH - This is a big scale for you guys.

0:02:13 > 0:02:16- We've know each other for...three years.- Yeah, about three years.

0:02:16 > 0:02:19We only started properly working together about a year ago.

0:02:19 > 0:02:22When we're not at school, we're always practising circus.

0:02:22 > 0:02:25And we absolutely love performing in the air.

0:02:25 > 0:02:27Freya and Zinzi are really sweet together, it's almost

0:02:27 > 0:02:28like they're sisters.

0:02:28 > 0:02:31They're coordinated, they like each other, they trust each other.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34I'm just really pleased my daughter's got such a lovely friend.

0:02:34 > 0:02:36I really enjoy performing.

0:02:36 > 0:02:39When you do it, it's really exciting and you want to do it again.

0:02:39 > 0:02:42We like to work together, that's probably the best part about it.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Yeah! BOTH CHUCKLE

0:02:44 > 0:02:48Almost everyone loves the circus and today, one of the main

0:02:48 > 0:02:52reasons is because of these - the aerial acts.

0:02:52 > 0:02:55It's a dangerous act, but the shows are spectacular.

0:02:55 > 0:02:57This is what the girls are aiming to do.

0:02:57 > 0:03:00They want to go from performing on a V-shaped piece of rope

0:03:00 > 0:03:02called the single cloud-swing...

0:03:02 > 0:03:03to this...

0:03:03 > 0:03:04the double cloud-swing.

0:03:04 > 0:03:08It's two pieces of rope and it's much harder and more dangerous.

0:03:08 > 0:03:11But they've only got four weeks to perfect their act

0:03:11 > 0:03:13for their Final Challenge.

0:03:13 > 0:03:16What is it you love about cloud-swinging?

0:03:16 > 0:03:18It's fun.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20ALL CHUCKLE

0:03:20 > 0:03:22So, I know cloud-swinging is usually done as a solo act.

0:03:22 > 0:03:26But why do you guys want to do cloud swinging as a double act?

0:03:26 > 0:03:30It's different and we haven't seen many double cloud-swinging

0:03:30 > 0:03:34- being done before. It's nice to be original.- Yeah.

0:03:34 > 0:03:35I like that.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Problem is, hardly anyone in the UK does it,

0:03:38 > 0:03:41so it's been tough to find mentors, but I think I've done it.

0:03:42 > 0:03:45Fran and Lucy are one of the few double cloud-swing

0:03:45 > 0:03:46acts in the world.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49Their routines are breathtakingly spectacular

0:03:49 > 0:03:52and they've trained for years to become the best in the business.

0:03:52 > 0:03:54So, if anyone can turbo-boost Freya

0:03:54 > 0:03:56and Zinzi's cloud-swing ambitions, they can.

0:03:57 > 0:04:00I think it's high time you guys met your mentors.

0:04:00 > 0:04:02Are you ready?

0:04:02 > 0:04:03- Yeah.- OK.

0:04:06 > 0:04:08Fran and Lucy...

0:04:08 > 0:04:09ALL CHUCKLE

0:04:09 > 0:04:12- Hello.- Welcome to Turbo Boost.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15So, basically, what we are going to do with you is choreograph

0:04:15 > 0:04:18the routine and then you are going to perform, hopefully,

0:04:18 > 0:04:19to the Bristol Harbour Festival.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23And we are going to see what you can do and how we can

0:04:23 > 0:04:24teach you some more things.

0:04:24 > 0:04:27And how we can push you further.

0:04:27 > 0:04:29- How does that sound? - Sounds really cool.- Yeah?

0:04:29 > 0:04:32- Are you ready to work hard? - BOTH: Yeah!- Yep.

0:04:34 > 0:04:36This is where the hard work begins.

0:04:36 > 0:04:39Fran and Lucy are no fuss taskmasters

0:04:39 > 0:04:42and they're putting the girls straight to the test.

0:04:42 > 0:04:46They're assessing Freya and Zinzi's strength...balance...

0:04:46 > 0:04:50and choreography, as well as team work.

0:04:53 > 0:04:56It all looks pretty impressive to me, but what do the experts think?

0:04:56 > 0:05:00There's a lot of creativity and you can see that you've been,

0:05:00 > 0:05:03erm...researching a lot with the cloud, which is really good.

0:05:03 > 0:05:07Freya and Zinzi's aerial moves are good but are basic,

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Fran can instantly see how they can improve.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12One of the things we'd really like to work on you with

0:05:12 > 0:05:15and to push...is some kind of catching.

0:05:15 > 0:05:18Pulling each other, throwing each other.

0:05:18 > 0:05:21Yeah, that's something we saw less of in your act

0:05:21 > 0:05:24and it's something we'd really like to push with you.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27With a plan in place, it's time for their first Masterclass.

0:05:31 > 0:05:34Fran and Lucy demonstrate and start to teach the girls some

0:05:34 > 0:05:37throwing and catching moves.

0:05:37 > 0:05:39Lucy's in the main catching position.

0:05:39 > 0:05:43Performing upside down with no support, relying on your own

0:05:43 > 0:05:46strength and hoping that the other person won't let go

0:05:46 > 0:05:48is as hard as it looks.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50To be as brilliant as Fran and Lucy are at this,

0:05:50 > 0:05:53you'd have to train full-time for seven years.

0:05:53 > 0:05:55Freya and Zinzi, however, have been

0:05:55 > 0:05:58performing together in the air for only a year

0:05:58 > 0:06:02and now have just four weeks to wow at a festival in Bristol.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06As reality hits, the girls are looking nervous.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10So, with the demonstration over, it's the girls' turn.

0:06:12 > 0:06:15First up, it's a new catching move...

0:06:15 > 0:06:18Is a long up and then a short down, up!

0:06:18 > 0:06:22..the double swan. This should only ever be done with expert

0:06:22 > 0:06:24supervision and proper equipment.

0:06:24 > 0:06:28It's a tricky manoeuvre, and Freya's looking very worried.

0:06:28 > 0:06:30You tried your luck a bit too early.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33Although her timing is slightly off, Zinzi's managed it quite well.

0:06:37 > 0:06:39It's Freya's turn next. Can she do it?

0:06:42 > 0:06:45And, up, down, up.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47- Wait, wait, wait.- Sorry! - That's fine.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50I think this is one move they're going to have to practise a lot.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55It's the first time the girls have tried it,

0:06:55 > 0:06:56and they're doing their best.

0:06:56 > 0:06:58Feet and legs together.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01While Lucy's up there, we'll demonstrate one thing that you

0:07:01 > 0:07:03could work on.

0:07:03 > 0:07:06Forwards...backwards, and back...

0:07:06 > 0:07:08- Are you ready?- Up. Great.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14Meeting these cloud-swing experts has shown the girls just how

0:07:14 > 0:07:16much work they need to do before they're good enough to

0:07:16 > 0:07:18perform at a huge festival.

0:07:18 > 0:07:22Next time we meet you, we're going to be working in a space called

0:07:22 > 0:07:26The Hanger in London. We've had a little look at what you do and

0:07:26 > 0:07:29what your skill base is and we'll

0:07:29 > 0:07:33create a routine that, hopefully, you'll really enjoy doing.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Fran and Lucy can see the girls want to work hard but they're worried,

0:07:36 > 0:07:38very worried.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42They've got a long way to go and they've got a lot of work to do.

0:07:42 > 0:07:45It's a really big festival they're going to be performing in

0:07:45 > 0:07:47and at this point,

0:07:47 > 0:07:50it's really hard to tell whether they can pull it off or not.

0:07:53 > 0:07:56With no time to lose, Freya and Zinzi get practising.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00- LAUGHTER - There's a long way to go...

0:08:01 > 0:08:03And the new moves are proving tricky.

0:08:05 > 0:08:08But Freya and Zinzi must perfect them if they're going to make

0:08:08 > 0:08:11it as double cloud-swing artists in four weeks' time.

0:08:11 > 0:08:13Oh! That was the closest one.

0:08:13 > 0:08:16We can't wait to see the choreography, and the routine.

0:08:21 > 0:08:24I've brought Freya and Zinzi to a location in London,

0:08:24 > 0:08:28only used by professional circus performers. Today their

0:08:28 > 0:08:31mentors will teach the girls their spectacular final routine.

0:08:31 > 0:08:33- Ahh, its big...- Yeah.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36The girls look worried as they realise that at 7 metres

0:08:36 > 0:08:38the double-cloud swing

0:08:38 > 0:08:40is twice as high as their swing at home.

0:08:40 > 0:08:43- How you feeling?- Bit nervous.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47But before they're allowed in the air,

0:08:47 > 0:08:50they need to warm up to protect themselves against injury.

0:08:50 > 0:08:51We'll get the warm...

0:08:53 > 0:08:56As soon as they're ready, the experts show the girls the moves

0:08:56 > 0:08:59of their new routine, step by step.

0:09:03 > 0:09:07Fran and Lucy are skilled experts and now they are about to

0:09:07 > 0:09:09teach the girls these tricky moves.

0:09:09 > 0:09:12They need to up their game here, with only three weeks left until

0:09:12 > 0:09:16their first public performance, it's a massive challenge.

0:09:16 > 0:09:17LAUGHTER

0:09:17 > 0:09:20When you grab, you were like that. Try to grab all of it.

0:09:20 > 0:09:24This move's called the Tiny Ball and needs a huge

0:09:24 > 0:09:27amount of strength in the arms and a very strong hand grip.

0:09:29 > 0:09:32The girls are practising under careful supervision in a safe space

0:09:32 > 0:09:35but they're still finding it tough.

0:09:35 > 0:09:39- Yes, that's it.- Yeah, good, nice.

0:09:39 > 0:09:42Next, a move they learnt in their first Masterclass,

0:09:42 > 0:09:45it's the Swan Up. They couldn't do it then...

0:09:46 > 0:09:48Yeah, yeah. Almost.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50..and still can't do it now.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52Oh, my shoulder cracked!

0:09:52 > 0:09:54The girls are struggling to get this right

0:09:54 > 0:09:57but with no time to rest, it's straight back to it...

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Almost. You can get a slightly bigger V there.

0:10:00 > 0:10:04Now they need all their strength to pull up into position...

0:10:04 > 0:10:07It's so close, it's up-down-up!

0:10:07 > 0:10:09That's it.

0:10:09 > 0:10:11LAUGHTER

0:10:11 > 0:10:13- Oh.- Yeah.- Brilliant.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15She's nearly done it!

0:10:15 > 0:10:18It's better, but it's a crucial move in the routine

0:10:18 > 0:10:21so they need to get this perfect.

0:10:21 > 0:10:22And there we are...

0:10:22 > 0:10:24And we're up.

0:10:24 > 0:10:27Freya and Zinzi have learnt two moves out of the eight

0:10:27 > 0:10:29that they need to learn in their routine.

0:10:29 > 0:10:32The pressure is on.

0:10:32 > 0:10:34Here, when you're on this bottom cloud,

0:10:34 > 0:10:35you can just come into a little ball.

0:10:35 > 0:10:38Lift the hands a bit higher. And place the feet on.

0:10:38 > 0:10:42This looks amazing, but the girls are starting to look nervous.

0:10:44 > 0:10:46They need to work hard on their choreography

0:10:46 > 0:10:50if they are going to give a show-stopping performance

0:10:50 > 0:10:51at their festival debut.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Point and then flex.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55Yeah, that's it and the other one...?

0:10:55 > 0:10:57It's the end of their Masterclass...

0:10:57 > 0:11:00Press her against you, Freya. On her legs...yeah, that's it.

0:11:00 > 0:11:02So, quick flex...good.

0:11:02 > 0:11:06And now Fran wants to take their routine to the next level.

0:11:06 > 0:11:08Now, we've got to try it a little bit higher.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Yeah, cos that's going to be...something.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13- That's going to change something.- Yes.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Freya looks worried as Fran talks about taking the swing

0:11:15 > 0:11:18even higher for their final performance.

0:11:18 > 0:11:21So, how do you feel about the working at height thing?

0:11:21 > 0:11:23A little bit nervous.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26I think that, erm, as soon as we get up there and we start

0:11:26 > 0:11:29working on it, you will feel a lot better.

0:11:29 > 0:11:32She doesn't look convinced.

0:11:32 > 0:11:35Surprisingly, people who spend their lives flying through the air

0:11:35 > 0:11:38are often afraid of heights.

0:11:38 > 0:11:41But this is one fear that needs to be overcome

0:11:41 > 0:11:44if Freya is to even think about taking part in the final.

0:11:44 > 0:11:47Freezing up on the day would be an utter disaster.

0:11:50 > 0:11:53With only two weeks left to get their routine right,

0:11:53 > 0:11:56it's nonstop practising under careful supervision.

0:11:56 > 0:11:59LAUGHTER

0:11:59 > 0:12:01We've learnt most of the routine.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05It's a really hard routine.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08The girls are working tirelessly.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13But are still getting moves wrong.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18I reckon the next training session will be a lot more tiring.

0:12:18 > 0:12:23- We'll be...finishing it off. - Yeah.- Learning the last two moves.

0:12:23 > 0:12:26- And then we'll be running it and running it again.- Yeah.

0:12:26 > 0:12:29Then, I reckon we'll need to work out a beginning and an end.

0:12:29 > 0:12:31ZINZI LAUGHS

0:12:31 > 0:12:34Over the last two weeks,

0:12:34 > 0:12:37Freya and Zinzi's circus skills have been turbo-boosted.

0:12:37 > 0:12:39- Are you ready to work hard?- Yeah.

0:12:39 > 0:12:42They've been pushed to their limits with a whole new cloud-swing act.

0:12:42 > 0:12:44And are facing new fears.

0:12:44 > 0:12:45We've just got to try it a little bit higher.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48There's only a fortnight to pull it all together before they perform

0:12:48 > 0:12:50in front of a crowd of thousands.

0:12:50 > 0:12:51And there we are...

0:12:55 > 0:12:58At the end of their last Masterclass, Freya confessed to

0:12:58 > 0:13:00a fear of heights, which could be a real problem

0:13:00 > 0:13:03when she's got perform on the highest cloud-swing

0:13:03 > 0:13:07she's ever been on. Time's running out, so I'm stepping in.

0:13:07 > 0:13:09I've brought them to a tree-top adventure park to get this

0:13:09 > 0:13:11sorted once and for all.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Freya, you made a little confession. Are you nervous about the

0:13:13 > 0:13:16- swing being raised up? - I'm still a little bit nervous about

0:13:16 > 0:13:21being on top of Zinzi. It's still a little bit daunting,

0:13:21 > 0:13:24the fact you're over the top of the other person.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27OK. Fran and Lucy said that at your last Masterclass

0:13:27 > 0:13:30you needed to work on your heights, trust and strength.

0:13:30 > 0:13:34I've brought you here so you can do all three.

0:13:34 > 0:13:36- Hi there.- All right.

0:13:36 > 0:13:37We're meeting instructor Alex,

0:13:37 > 0:13:40who's got some challenging tasks that will test the girls' nerves,

0:13:40 > 0:13:43and hopefully, will help prepare them for their Final Challenge.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47Task one - the girls are asked to build and climb two towers

0:13:47 > 0:13:50- made of crates.- If you can just start stacking the crates,

0:13:50 > 0:13:52and after that we'll just climb on.

0:13:52 > 0:13:55This is to test their trust in each other and team work, crucial

0:13:55 > 0:13:58skills for successfully performing on the cloud-swing together.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01Do you guys want to start climbing up? Yeah...

0:14:01 > 0:14:03- Got her, Turbo?- Yeah.

0:14:03 > 0:14:06Freya needs to tackle her fear of heights today

0:14:06 > 0:14:09if she's going to be able to pull off her final aerial performance

0:14:09 > 0:14:12on the double cloud-swing in front of thousands of people.

0:14:12 > 0:14:16Nice and steady. Turbo, are we good on the rope?

0:14:16 > 0:14:18She'll be 8 metres high in the air on the day

0:14:18 > 0:14:21just under the height of two double-decker buses,

0:14:21 > 0:14:23so it's a huge challenge for her.

0:14:25 > 0:14:28- Freya's looking nervous. - It's wobbly.

0:14:28 > 0:14:31But her best friend Zinzi's there to help and reassure her...

0:14:31 > 0:14:34- Thumbs up.- It is a bit wobbly!

0:14:34 > 0:14:35Help each other up.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37Keep going!

0:14:37 > 0:14:39- Are you on?- Yeah.

0:14:39 > 0:14:43We're just going to take one of the towers down.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46And you finished with one.

0:14:46 > 0:14:48- Isn't that good?- Yeah.

0:14:48 > 0:14:51They've done it, that's great teamwork

0:14:51 > 0:14:53but Freya needs to be able to do this on her own

0:14:53 > 0:14:56as well as with Zinzi. It's time to up the stakes.

0:14:56 > 0:14:59The next challenge is a bit harder.

0:14:59 > 0:15:03They need to balance up high again but this time it's solo.

0:15:03 > 0:15:04ALL: Yeah.

0:15:04 > 0:15:07With nothing to hold on to, they need to concentrate

0:15:07 > 0:15:10if they are to stay on the pole.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13Right, we've got Freya...just walking the beam now.

0:15:13 > 0:15:15Hands off the rope, hands off...

0:15:15 > 0:15:18- One more, absolutely fantastic. - Yeah, yeah...- Keep going.

0:15:18 > 0:15:20For Freya, this is a long way up!

0:15:20 > 0:15:23She's looking confident, I think she's starting face her fears.

0:15:23 > 0:15:25Well done, sweetie, well done, well done.

0:15:27 > 0:15:30But the final task will really test her nerves.

0:15:30 > 0:15:32This is called The Leap of Faith.

0:15:32 > 0:15:35And we're going to get you guys to climb up all the way to the

0:15:35 > 0:15:37top of the pole.

0:15:37 > 0:15:40This pole, is the same height as the double cloud-swing

0:15:40 > 0:15:44she'll be performing on. Will she be able to do it?

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Well done. Absolutely brilliant.

0:15:47 > 0:15:49You're halfway through.

0:15:49 > 0:15:52She's looking very confident and is doing quite well.

0:15:52 > 0:15:54Just a touch...

0:15:54 > 0:15:58But as she reaches the top, Alex pushes her that little bit further.

0:15:58 > 0:16:00You need to go a little bit higher than that,

0:16:00 > 0:16:03so you need to push, so you grab a hold of the platform

0:16:03 > 0:16:04with your hands.

0:16:04 > 0:16:07There you go. Now, your left leg can go on there.

0:16:07 > 0:16:10Fantastic. And we just push up. Try and use your legs

0:16:10 > 0:16:11as best you can.

0:16:11 > 0:16:14There we go, you're on. Absolutely brilliant, well done.

0:16:14 > 0:16:17She's now got to stand tall on the platform.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20- That's really wobbly.- It is going to wobble a little bit.

0:16:20 > 0:16:23Freya's managed it but still looks unsure...

0:16:23 > 0:16:25Well done for going all the way to the top.

0:16:25 > 0:16:27Zinzi's turn and she's tackling it well...

0:16:27 > 0:16:31Well done, absolutely fantastic job, OK. And then stand up...

0:16:31 > 0:16:33The platform's looking really wobbly now,

0:16:33 > 0:16:36but once up, Alex ups the stakes again...

0:16:36 > 0:16:39Right, guys, we're going to do a little trust exercise next.

0:16:39 > 0:16:42What I want you to do is just turn around and face each other.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44And grab a hold of each other's hands.

0:16:44 > 0:16:45Now just lean back.

0:16:45 > 0:16:47Freya doesn't look happy

0:16:47 > 0:16:50and is holding on tight as Zinzi leans out a little bit further.

0:16:50 > 0:16:52Well done, guys. Well done.

0:16:52 > 0:16:54Now there's just the small matter of getting down.

0:16:54 > 0:16:57Can Freya put all her fears behind her and jump?

0:16:59 > 0:17:01Bye, Zinzi!

0:17:01 > 0:17:04She's done it!

0:17:04 > 0:17:07Their friendship really pulled them through today.

0:17:07 > 0:17:10And off the platform, well done. Good girl.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Today's Masterclass has shown the girls that if they stick

0:17:13 > 0:17:16together and keep practising, they have every chance of pulling off

0:17:16 > 0:17:17their Final Challenge.

0:17:17 > 0:17:19Good girl.

0:17:19 > 0:17:21I want to know if Freya's overcome her fear.

0:17:21 > 0:17:24I thought I wouldn't be able to do the higher ones.

0:17:24 > 0:17:25Yeah, neither did I.

0:17:25 > 0:17:27And do you think that going round on this course

0:17:27 > 0:17:29is going to help you with your Final Challenge?

0:17:29 > 0:17:33- Yes.- It'll help us realise that there's nothing to worry about

0:17:33 > 0:17:34being so high.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38I was a little bit wary about the height

0:17:38 > 0:17:41on cloud-swings at first, like, raising them

0:17:41 > 0:17:44cos I haven't been on one so high. But...

0:17:44 > 0:17:48- I think I'll be fine now, definitely reassured now.- Yeah.

0:17:48 > 0:17:51It looks like the problem with heights is conquered.

0:17:51 > 0:17:53It's straight back to work on their routine...

0:17:55 > 0:17:57But there's still a long way to go...

0:18:00 > 0:18:03I'm a little bit scared. Just to like...

0:18:03 > 0:18:05- Like nervous?- Yeah.

0:18:07 > 0:18:10- But it's exciting.- I can't wait.

0:18:10 > 0:18:11BOTH LAUGH

0:18:14 > 0:18:17The girls are back in London to meet up with mentors

0:18:17 > 0:18:19for some much needed rehearsals.

0:18:19 > 0:18:23Their routine is getting better but, in order to perform at one

0:18:23 > 0:18:26the biggest circus festivals in the UK, it's got to be brilliant.

0:18:26 > 0:18:29I've upped the stakes and set them a Mini Challenge.

0:18:29 > 0:18:33Billy Alwen is an expert in aerial performances and has created

0:18:33 > 0:18:37amazing live circus shows for the likes of Muse and Take That.

0:18:37 > 0:18:41He's in charge of the huge circus festival where the girls are due

0:18:41 > 0:18:43to perform their Final Challenge.

0:18:43 > 0:18:44But today he'll decide

0:18:44 > 0:18:47whether or not they can feature alongside his top acts.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51You will be auditioning for Billy Alwen for Cirque Bijou

0:18:51 > 0:18:54where you guys will be performing next weekend for your

0:18:54 > 0:18:56Final Challenge.

0:18:56 > 0:18:58Oh, no!

0:18:58 > 0:19:00- LAUGHTER - Really nervous, now!

0:19:01 > 0:19:04Give me some...

0:19:04 > 0:19:06We're going to work on that, me and you first...

0:19:09 > 0:19:11With no time to lose, it's straight to work.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14The girls have only had three weeks to rehearse their routine

0:19:14 > 0:19:18and have been practising nonstop, but it's not yet perfect.

0:19:18 > 0:19:21They've just got time to squeeze one last run-through

0:19:21 > 0:19:24before Billy arrives and to add to the pressure, they're now working

0:19:24 > 0:19:28on the double cloud-swing at a new height. Time for me to check in.

0:19:28 > 0:19:31How has Freya been getting on with regards to her height on

0:19:31 > 0:19:33the double cloud-swing.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35We've put the ropes up about a metre higher.

0:19:35 > 0:19:37To see if they're comfortable.

0:19:37 > 0:19:39This is Freya and Zinzi's last chance to have

0:19:39 > 0:19:42this routine shipshape, there's a lot at stake.

0:19:44 > 0:19:47Billy's arrived. The girls are looking nervous.

0:19:47 > 0:19:50Hi, guys. Imagine you've got an audience there,

0:19:50 > 0:19:52couple of thousand people, beautiful day...

0:19:52 > 0:19:54show me what you've got.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59As they begin, Billy has a watchful eye on every move,

0:19:59 > 0:20:01it's make or break time.

0:20:03 > 0:20:06They've started well, but halfway through the audition...disaster.

0:20:06 > 0:20:11In front of one of the country's leading circus show organisers,

0:20:11 > 0:20:14Zinzi's failed to complete the Swan Up...

0:20:15 > 0:20:18What is it you are going to be looking for?

0:20:18 > 0:20:20If they are confident in what they're doing,

0:20:20 > 0:20:22they'll up their game and they'll go for it.

0:20:22 > 0:20:25Then seconds later, Freya also makes a wrong move...

0:20:28 > 0:20:29But has Billy noticed?

0:20:33 > 0:20:36The girls are heading towards their final move in their routine -

0:20:36 > 0:20:39it's tricky and they've got it wrong before.

0:20:39 > 0:20:42Can they actually pull it off in front of Billy?

0:20:46 > 0:20:48They've finished. Now time to find out

0:20:48 > 0:20:50whether he thinks the girls are good enough

0:20:50 > 0:20:52for his international line-up.

0:20:52 > 0:20:55I can see you're thinking of performing it.

0:20:55 > 0:20:59You can see an audience, you're looking out, which is great.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02You're not worrying about...the next move.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06Things to always work on, is the finish and the end.

0:21:06 > 0:21:09Everybody works on their act and thinks, OK, but remember -

0:21:09 > 0:21:11start cleanly and finish cleanly.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14It'll get better and when you've got an audience,

0:21:14 > 0:21:16you'll take it up another level as well.

0:21:18 > 0:21:20Guys, that was great.

0:21:22 > 0:21:24I'm really happy to put you in the middle of the programme

0:21:24 > 0:21:27which is where we get the biggest crowds.

0:21:27 > 0:21:29I really loved it, well done.

0:21:29 > 0:21:31- BOTH: Thank you.- Very exciting.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34They've done it, they'll be performing to thousands at the

0:21:34 > 0:21:37busiest time, which means the pressure's really on.

0:21:37 > 0:21:39We're pretty proud.

0:21:39 > 0:21:41Erm, we think they did really, really well.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44Still need to work on the Double Swan.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47We need to figure out how we are going to style and finish.

0:21:47 > 0:21:49Yeah, final touches.

0:21:51 > 0:21:52After their problematic audition,

0:21:52 > 0:21:55and with just days left to the biggest performance

0:21:55 > 0:21:58of their lives, the girls are determined to perfect their routine.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02I think we can do it. We've basically got everything we needed to get done.

0:22:05 > 0:22:08I think the best part will be performing with all the

0:22:08 > 0:22:11professionals that are going to be there, as well.

0:22:11 > 0:22:14- I think they'll enjoy us. - Hopefully!- Fingers crossed.

0:22:17 > 0:22:18Time now for final touches.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23In just four weeks, I've turbo-boosted Freya

0:22:23 > 0:22:27and Zinzi's aerial performance ambition to the max.

0:22:27 > 0:22:30They've gone from amateur cloud-swing performers...

0:22:30 > 0:22:32to professional-looking aerial artists.

0:22:34 > 0:22:36But can they put all they've learnt into practice

0:22:36 > 0:22:39and pull off a show-stopping performance of a lifetime?

0:22:43 > 0:22:46Here I am in Bristol. It's the morning of Freya and Zinzi -

0:22:46 > 0:22:49AKA Frinzi's - Final Challenge.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53Now, Billy, the festival organiser, decided that, after the girls

0:22:53 > 0:22:55auditioned for him last week that they should be put at

0:22:55 > 0:22:59the top of the bill. Which means...the pressure is on!

0:22:59 > 0:23:02Since it's the morning of the event, I think we feel a bit

0:23:02 > 0:23:06more nervous than we were, probably, yesterday, but not too nervous.

0:23:06 > 0:23:07- I'm still really excited.- Yes.

0:23:09 > 0:23:12Time's ticking, as the festival prepares to open,

0:23:12 > 0:23:14Billy's organising the line up...

0:23:16 > 0:23:19The girls will be performing as Frinzi, amongst circus acts

0:23:19 > 0:23:22from around the world. It's a huge challenge for them.

0:23:22 > 0:23:24Perfect!

0:23:24 > 0:23:28In a few hours' time, thousands will be watching...

0:23:28 > 0:23:32With the cloud-swings set, there's one last chance for a

0:23:32 > 0:23:34dress rehearsal with mentors Fran and Lucy.

0:23:34 > 0:23:37- We have half an hour...less? - 20 minutes.

0:23:38 > 0:23:40They're rehearsing the Swan Up,

0:23:40 > 0:23:43it's been a problem over the past four weeks...

0:23:43 > 0:23:44That's so bad.

0:23:44 > 0:23:48It's a crucial move, the whole act hinges on it...

0:23:48 > 0:23:49Up-up-up...

0:23:49 > 0:23:53If it goes wrong in their final performance, it'll be a disaster.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57It's still not perfect.

0:23:57 > 0:24:00It's still a bit fiddly but you can't really tell, hopefully!

0:24:00 > 0:24:02Not having a good rehearsal is worrying,

0:24:02 > 0:24:04this move has always been trouble,

0:24:04 > 0:24:07but it's simply too late to start rethinking their routine now...

0:24:07 > 0:24:09As the festival starts,

0:24:09 > 0:24:12crowds gather as other acts begin to take the stage....

0:24:17 > 0:24:19Being top of the bill here means everything,

0:24:19 > 0:24:22thousands have taken their place to be entertained...

0:24:23 > 0:24:26Time for some last-minute words of luck from their parents.

0:24:29 > 0:24:33- Good luck.- Thank you.- You're going to do a really good job.

0:24:33 > 0:24:37- Thank you.- Breathe all the way and enjoy it, yeah?- OK.

0:24:37 > 0:24:41Now, Frinzi get ready to take to the stage.

0:24:41 > 0:24:44They're starting to feel the pressure. Four weeks of intense

0:24:44 > 0:24:47training and practice will soon be put to the test!

0:24:47 > 0:24:48ANNOUNCER: TURBO!

0:24:48 > 0:24:50Let's hear it, everybody!

0:24:50 > 0:24:52This is it!

0:24:52 > 0:24:58Can I please get some loud, loud, loud, loud noise for Frinzi!

0:24:58 > 0:25:00CHEERING

0:25:00 > 0:25:03Freya and Zinzi's dream of performing on a double cloud-swing

0:25:03 > 0:25:05is about to come true...

0:25:07 > 0:25:09Putting on a show on such a huge scale,

0:25:09 > 0:25:12is not all about the aerial moves, it's about telling a story

0:25:12 > 0:25:15and capturing the audience's attention.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19The girls start their routine with a mime

0:25:19 > 0:25:22about who's getting on the cloud-swing first.

0:25:22 > 0:25:25Oh, she can't believe that she lost!

0:25:30 > 0:25:32The swing is high....

0:25:32 > 0:25:35but Freya's looking confident as she gets into position...

0:25:38 > 0:25:41The Swan Up move is next, will they pull it off?

0:25:48 > 0:25:50They've done it! It's a brilliant start.

0:25:57 > 0:26:00They've been working hard on their choreography

0:26:00 > 0:26:02and it shows.

0:26:02 > 0:26:05They're in time and moving together well.

0:26:09 > 0:26:11Four weeks ago,

0:26:11 > 0:26:14Freya was afraid of heights, now she's flying high!

0:26:17 > 0:26:19The crowd absolutely love it...

0:26:22 > 0:26:25They've smashed it! It was spectacular.

0:26:27 > 0:26:30A very relieved and delighted Frinzi take their bow

0:26:30 > 0:26:32and join their families and mentors to celebrate.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38Oh, fantastic.

0:26:38 > 0:26:41It was wonderful. I was nervous for you.

0:26:42 > 0:26:46- I mean, you did super well! It was really good.- Thank you.

0:26:46 > 0:26:49- Thank you. - And the crowd are impressed too...

0:26:49 > 0:26:52They are so amazing for their age, so strong, so powerful.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55So elegant as well, they were brilliant. Really good to watch.

0:26:55 > 0:26:59To be able to do that at their age is mind-blowing.

0:26:59 > 0:27:03On a par with all the professional performers performing here today.

0:27:04 > 0:27:07BOTH: We've been turbo-boosted and it was amazing.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Freya and Zinzi have 100% been turbo-boosted.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13They began as an aerial act that performed together on

0:27:13 > 0:27:17one cloud-swing at a small circus school in Newcastle.

0:27:17 > 0:27:21Today, they wowed thousands of people with their tricky

0:27:21 > 0:27:22and dangerous routine.

0:27:22 > 0:27:24Turbo Boost is boosting out.
