Diversity/"Swift Moves" in 2005.

I've just found some clips of Diversity when they were known as Swift Moves in 2005.
It's only Ashley, Ian, Terry, Jamie and Mitchell (who it seems has spent most of his life jumping out of bags :p) and also a member who isn't in Diversity.
The sidebar of one of the clips says that "K.I" (who they battled) were choreographed by Marlon from Flawless, so obviously they've been competing against each other for a long time.

    Very interesting clips, Jade, thanks for posting them.

    Diversity (as they are now) didn't form up until early 2007; one of their first 'gigs' was at the charity do that London cabbies run for kids.

    Mitchell is so cute in that clip, he must have been about 8/9.

    I don't think he looks too much older now.
    I don't find Ashley as attractive at all in those clips.. partly because he says "I'm not being funny but.." :o:p

    I've just realised that Jordan, Warren and Sam are in the second clip from 1:52 for about 10 seconds.

    wow Ashley must have been about 16 and Jordan and Sam must have been about 12
    Mitchell was an amazing dancer at 8/9 years of age

    Sam would have been 15, I think he's 19 now.
    It's weird that Jordan was 12 though, he looks older than Perri & Mitchell do now and they're 13 :confused:
    Ashley doesn't look 16 either though, it must run in their family.

    It sounds a lot like someone from BGT found out about their "dance battles" and had them both "battle" on telly. Bit coincidental both groups make the live finals when they know each other well.

    It's not a bad thing, but that show is so pre-scripted and they obviously go to showcases to head hunt people. It makes good telly tho.

    .

    Not really much of a coincidence. They're both street dance groups from London, the street dance scene is hardly huge so they're ore than likely to cross paths more than once.
