We were calling for anyone who had the desire to waltz, twirl and twist through a masterclass with Anton Du Beke from 'Strictly Come Dancing'.

Meet the six dancers who knocked our socks off and got to star with a celebrity dance partner in 'Dancing in the Street' on BBC One.

Picking up where 'Strictly Come Dancing' left off, 'Dancing in the Street' was an 80-minute dance extravaganza that took place in Trafalgar Square on 22 July during the final weekend of Big Dance.

Big Dance is a Mayor of London project funded by Arts Council England they were inviting everyone to take part in the huge range of fun and unusual dance events taking place throughout the country, with the finale broadcast by the BBC.

Hundreds took up the invite to face the music and dance, flocking to the country-wide locations and hoping to be picked as one of the London finalists. The best dancers in each afternoon workshop were invited to attend a two hour masterclass.

What's was on offer?

Six new dancers were whisked off to London on July 19, to rehearse for two days with 'Strictly Come Dancing' dance partners.

They were fitted by a top costume designer before performing their choreographed routine in front the TV cameras and a live audience in Trafalgar Square.

The six dancers are also receiving funding towards further dance training and development.
