The ten dancers selected at the auditions continue to be put through their paces. The pressure is mounting to secure a place in the final.

In the penultimate programme of the series, the ten dancers selected at the auditions continue to be put through their paces at the Â鶹Éç Young Dancer academy at Dartington in Devon. With the clock ticking down to the end of the week, the pressure is mounting. Ivan Blackstock demands that the competitors focus fully on the task ahead as he races to complete the group dance, work begins on some brand-new duets and trios, and the dancers face the second of their Dartington Challenges.

Clara Amfo is on hand to see how everyone has coped with the demands of the week and to find out how things are progressing. The dance academy draws to a close as everyone’s attention turns to the final where one of the dancers will be crowned Â鶹Éç Young Dancer 2022.
