DANCERS from Clacton are gearing up to complete in the live semi-finals of a top television show.

Laura Grant, 20, and Emily Yapp, 19, will be performing on Sky One’s Got To Dance next Tuesday at 6pm.

The duo are part of Academy of Base which is made up of students from west London's Creative Academy and being mentored on the show by former Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt.

Their audition, which was screened earlier this month, received rave reviews from the judges including Kimberly, Australian tap dancer Adam Garcia and Diversity’s Ashley Banjo.

They are now hoping to win enough votes to win the show. To vote for them search for Academy of Base on Twitter or Facebook.
