Traditional Irish dancers The Gardiner Brothers take on dancing drag queen Angelica Starr in the first semi-final. #TheBigDeal #TheGardinerBrothers #SemiFinal (Dancing starts at 00:58 ) We made it to the SEMI FINAL! We were absolutely delighted with our performance in our audition, and we couldn’t be more excited to perform for the semi-final! We wanted to challenge the ideas that people have about Irish dancing and showcase how modern and versatile it is. The Semi Final means we were competing head-to-head against Angelica Star! We think Angelica is absolutely incredible and we definitely have to bring our A game to come out on top in this match up! For this piece, we wanted to showcase the intricacies of our art form. We decided to create a concrete jungle and use the set to tell a story. The idea was to have a battle between brothers, and to see who came out on top… but in the end, we realise that we are stronger together. So, there can be Only One King, but we can share the crown!! We were very humbled to have gotten through to the FINAL which is in 2 weeks! We are very proud of the work we have done so far and cannot wait to put a new piece together for the Final of The Big Deal. Hopefully we can do enough to raise our bar once again and impress the judges one last time! We better start working on new choreography for the next round!
