BBC One - The Greatest Dancer, Series 2, Episode 8

The remaining seven acts take on the theme of dance fusion. 

The remaining seven acts take on the theme of dance fusion, all hoping to make it through to next week's semi-final. 

The exhilarating live shows continue, and the pressure is building as only seven acts are left in the competition. Tonight’s challenge theme, dance fusion, will push the acts to their limits as they are all given a dance style that they must fuse with their own to create a completely unique performance. Can contemporary dancers take on tap? Can street dancers embrace Bollywood? 

The live studio audience still vote on whether they like the performances or not, but it’s all down to the viewers at home to decide who will dance again next week, as only their votes will determine which six acts make it through to the semi-final, and which act must go home.

All this, and another world-class guest artist performs a unique collaboration.
