Led by Vicki Stavrinos, owner of V Dance Studio in Chelmsford, Bam Bam Boogies are a talented group of young, passionate dancers who are all based in Chelmsford, Essex. Having previously performed at the O2 Indigo Arena in London as part of a Michael Jackson tribute exhibition, the group were prepared for the crowd and pressure that Got To Dance were set to bring them. Along with their performances of 'Bam Bam Boogie in Wonderland' and 'There's No Place Like Funk' - urban adaptations of Alice in Wonderland and The Wizard of Oz - this dance troop already have a lot of experience in the industry.
On the 6th of October of last year, Bam Bam Boogies set off for Battersea Power Station in London in the early hours of the morning. Upon arrival at the infamous Got To Dance 'domes', the group registered and got themselves prepared for their performance. They met presenter of the hit show, Davina McCall, who helped to calm their nerves. After many hours of waiting and anticipation, their determination and energy paid off and helped them to receive a place in the next round. Despite only receiving one gold star initially from Ashley Banjo, Pussycat Doll Kimberley Wyatt changed her mind, putting Bam Bam Boogies into the second stage of the competition.
Although the group have not reached the Semi-Finals of the competition, they are eager to continue practising, rehearsing and performing so that they are even better for next year's competition. Keep looking out for Bam Bam Boogies - watch this space!
