A HULL dance group impressed celebrity judges when they took part in a prime-time talent show.
The Skyline dance group, based in Grimston Street, city centre, appeared on Sky One's Got To Dance, which aired last night.
Viewers witnessed the 13 dancers battle it out against other performers to impress celebrity judges Adam Garcia, Ashley Banjo and Kimberly Wyatt.
Despite not making it through to the live shows, and narrowly missing out to another act, Hull dancer David Danville was delighted with the group's display.
Mr Danville said: "We got asked to audition for Got To Dance as we had auditioned a few years ago and, although we didn't get through, we were told we showed real promise and just needed a bit more work."
Skyline travelled to London for their first audition for the show in April.
Mr Danville, 33, said: "We impressed the judges so much that they gave us three stars, meaning we made the judges' shortlist.
"This meant we had to reaudition for the judges to decide if they wanted us on their team for the live shows."
Despite being unsuccessful on this occasion, the judges were full of praise for Skyline's routine of Beyonce's The Haunted.
"The judges absolutely loved us," Mr Danville said.
"They have been tweeting us and saying how they wanted to see so much more of us.
"They have just given us some amazing feedback but the crew that got in ahead of us were just incredible so we don't feel too disheartened.
"We are still so happy we got the three gold stars as it is very rare judges give acts a full house."
Presented by Davina McCall, the popular programme sees each judge mentoring his or her own dancers throughout the series as they battle it out to be crowned the Got To Dance Champion 2014, and walk away with £250,000.
"It has been such a fantastic opportunity for us to show people across the country what we can do," Mr Danville said.
"We hope the people of Hull are proud of our efforts.
"The whole experience was very exhausting as we had to do a lot of filming but it was definitely worth it.
"We got the opportunity to get our style out there, which a lot of groups don't get to do."
