The dancers took the nation by the storm when they won the third series of Britain’s Got Talent, triumphing over singer Susan Boyle who was bookies favourite to win. Over the ensuing decade Diversity have continued to wow audiences around the world with their innovative live performances

To take the troupe into the new decade of Diversity, choreographer Ashley Banjo;s new show Connected centres around the world of social media, the internet, and the digital era we now live in, but more importantly how this connects us all.

Ashley said of the tour: “Every year that goes by, and every time we get to create a new touring show, I cannot believe we are still lucky enough to

get to do this. But even after all this time, we are still growing, and this new decade and new chapter for Diversity is sure to be something even more special than the last. I truly do believe that we are all connected in more ways than one and I cannot wait to bring this to life on stage.”
