Bollywood-inspired Sapnay fail to impress at Got To Dance semi-finals

Sapnay - Got To Dance semi-finalist

Haha! Bollywood themed dancers Sapnay have the right idea – impress Pussycat Doll Kimberley Wyatt with a routine set to Jai Ho!

A Hoofer’s Song tap-dances through the Got To Dance semis!

A Hoofer's Song - Got To Dance semi-finalist

Fourth act to perform on the Got To Dance semi-finals tonight was A Hoofer’s Song, aka Lee Payne. Lee comes out in an eye-destroying green suit and tap-dances his way across the stage. The routine is smooth and sophisticated, but it doesn’t really inspire me. Although Adam Garcia makes the point that it doesn’t have the high production values of the other acts, I just feel that it wasn’t engaging enough for the finals.

Luke - Got To Dance semi-finalist

Young contemporary dancer, known as Luke Mann, comes out and dances an elegant routine to Ed Sheeran’s Lego House. Great song choice. I love watching contemporary dancers, and even though Luke is young, he commands Got To Dance the stage like a professional from start to finish.

Davina gave us all a giggle by telling us that she couldn’t hold his hand because he’s 14.
