Mindtrick

Mindtrick (aka Matthew) performed a street routine inspired by a fly, which confused a fair few in the audience including judge Cheryl. Mindtrick’s dance to White Noise by Disclosure didn’t quite manage to warm up the audience, scoring 69% of the crowd’s vote.

Afro Queens

Afro Queens are an all women Afro Dance group. Their non-stop routine to Mawa Nya by Serge Beynaud sadly didn’t entice the audience to hit their buzzers, with only 69% voting to open the mirror.

JSD Minis

Mark Short

He previously danced with Tina Turner but has a more unusual claim to fame: He was one of the Bananas in Pyjamas. Dancing a Jazz routine to Canned Heat by Jamiroquai, Mark only managed to impress 71% of the audience.
