A Liverpool-based dance act stunned the judges on Saturday night’s episode of Britain’s Got Talent, with fans tipping them as early favourites to win. The popular ITV programme made its return on the evening of Saturday, February 21 with Ant and Dec presenting the nationwide search for talent.
During the episode, the judges encountered dancers from LMA – a creative arts university with campuses in Liverpool, London and Newcastle. The audition saw dancers from the Liverpool campus, which is based in the Metquarter, take to the stage.
The audition featured a highly synchronised dance, titled “Murmuration”, which is the work of French choreographer Sadeck Berrabah.
Dancers performed in black and white ensembles with the dance’s title referring to the mesmerising formations made by flying birds.
