Members of all-girl dance troupe Boadicea are celebrating this week after powering through to the live final of Sky1’s Got To Dance.

The 12-strong group, which includes Robyn Walker, 19, from Gravesend, won through on the public vote during Sunday’s live show and face a showdown at London’s Olympia next month in a bid to win the £250,000 prize.
Victory is also likely to see the girls start out on a glittering dance career.
Boadicea, led by Rhimes (real name Danielle Lecointe), is a 12-strong group who describe themselves as a “sisterhood”.
Ms Walker said: “It’s completely crazy, we were so overwhelmed on the show and just started crying our eyes out. This is all we want to do.
“Olympia is going to be amazing, we hope the public like us and keep supporting us.
“We have some ideas for the final. We have a lot of work to do and want to come out fighting as Boadicea but with a twist.”
The final group was put together 18 months ago from girls in London’s hip hop dance scene.
Hosted by Davina McCall, Got To Dance has scoured the nation for Britain’s best crews, troupes and solo dancers of all styles and ages.
Speaking about the performance on Sunday, judge Ashley Banjo, leader of dance sensation Diversity, said: “I am in love with these girls. You hit it so hard and I am so passionate about you!”
There will be 10 acts in the final on March 4, with four acts selected so far. The finalists include Boadicea, Fear of the Unknown, Prodijig and duo Tayluer and Elliott.
Unity UK, featuring Molly Boulding, 17, from Swanscombe, is still to dance for a spot in the final, on Sunday February 26.
