The Greatest Dancer: Support for Sunderland dancers Lily and Joseph ahead of BBC One appearance

The youngsters, who wowed audiences on The Greatest Dancer audition shows last month, will perform for the programme’s captains – Cheryl, Oti Mabuse, Matthew Morrison and Todrick Hall – as well as supporters in the audience and at home tonight; Saturday, February 1.

The talented pair, who train at The Worx – Dance Theatre Arts in Sunderland, have been rehearsing non-stop since their initial audition last summer to perfect their routine, which will be revealed live tonight.

They will perform alongside the 11 other acts in the final.

Signs of support have been spotted across the North East for Lily and Joseph, including at The Bridges in Sunderland and on the region’s roads.
