BBC Young Dancer

This week, the ten dancers selected at the auditions arrive in Dartington, Devon, for a week-long intensive dance academy. Awaiting them are Clara Amfo and the BBC Young Dancer team, which includes some of the best professional dancers and choreographers in the business. With time at a premium, the dancers will be under pressure as they're put through their paces in preparation for the Grand Final. As well as working on their solos, they also have brand new choreography to learn. And there's a surprise challenge in store for them too. Who will have what it takes to shine through?

The BBC Young Dancer team will expect dedication and commitment. They are:

Dancer, choreographer and multi-discipline artist Ivan Blackstock

Australian-born street dancer and freestyler Gianna Gi, in demand as a choreographer and movement director

Award-winning dancer, choreographer and artistic director Dickson MBI

Bharatanatyam and contemporary dancer and choreographer Seeta Patel

Former principal ballerina with the English National Ballet, Begoña Cao

Dancer, choreographer and designer Theo Clinkard

Movement director and choreographer Ingrid Mackinnon

Dancer and choreographer Ricky Jinks

BBC Young Dancer's artistic director Emma Gladstone OBE, former chief executive and artistic director of Dance Umbrella – London's international dance festival

Between them they bring a wealth of experience to the academy.

In the penultimate programme of the series, the ten dancers selected at the auditions continue to be put through their paces at the BBC Young Dancer academy at Dartington in Devon. With the clock ticking down to the end of the week, the pressure is mounting. Ivan Blackstock demands that the competitors focus fully on the task ahead as he races to complete the group dance, work begins on some brand-new duets and trios, and the dancers face the second of their Dartington Challenges.

Clara Amfo is on hand to see how everyone has coped with the demands of the week and to find out how things are progressing. The dance academy draws to a close as everyone's attention turns to the final where one of the dancers will be crowned BBC Young Dancer 2022.

Clara Amfo presents the final of BBC Young Dancer 2022, as ten talented dancers compete for the coveted title at London's iconic Roundhouse.

As well as perfoming their own solos, the dancers will also premiere brand new duets and trios, and the final will culminate with a high-octane new group work for the whole company created by dancer, choreographer and filmmaker Ivan Blackstock.

The final also sees the return of 2019 winner Max Revell for a very special performance. Max is currently dancing for the Akram Khan Company in the new production of Jungle Book.
