Tonight on BBC One’s DanceX the public vote forced Bruno to pick one of his team to leave the competition for the second week in a row.

Having watched each team dance, sing, and sing and dance, to rock or rock ‘n’ roll, the voting public decided that, this evening, Arlene’s team was the best.

This left Bruno to pick the two contestants he considered to be the weakest performers in his group to compete directly against each other for the chance to stay in the competition. Read more & comment »

Daniele, 23, comes from Worthing in West Sussex and is half Sicilian, a quarter German, and a quarter English. Determined to pursue a career in performing arts he began dancing at the relatively late age of 18, after he realised that having the ability to both sing and dance would greatly increase his chance of being accepted on his chosen college courses.

He obtained a DaDa (Dancing and Drama Award) to attend the London Studio Centre and has since completed a BA(Hons) in Theatre Dance. He decided to audition for DanceX to make his parents, grandparents and family proud, and adds “all I want to do is entertain people. I want to make them laugh, cry, smile and cheer when I dance and sing”.
