Diversity, known as the UK’s most successful dance group, will open the doors to a new dance studio in Birmingham city centre this weekend.
It is set to offer word-class facilities with a space open to everyone.
Diversity’s Ashley Banjo said: “What I love about Diversity is that we’ve never held an audition. It’s always been about the community and everyone who comes to learn and train with us.
“In one space you’ll have a world-class production being rehearsed and, in another, you have beginners who are learning their first-ever piece of choreography.
“We can’t wait to open our doors in Birmingham this weekend, which has always been a fantastic place to perform and our fans are so supportive since we won Britain’s Got Talent.”

The new bespoke venue is based on Icknield Street in the city’s Jewellery Quarter, which will mark Diversity studio’s second location. They also have a studio in Southend, Essex.
There will be in-person dance classes from beginners aged four up to adult professionals.
A range of styles will be taught including street dance, commercial and contemporary, with weekly lessons taught by core Diversity members themselves.
Students in the Diversity community are also offered creative performance opportunities through yearly productions, and early access to special masterclasses.
The venue will have an open day on Saturday, October 11 and will start welcoming the public to dance classes from Monday, October 13.
