Dancing Clown Turns Audition From Creepy To Stunning On The Greatest Dancer - Staff Picks

Dancing clown Harrison turned his scary audition into a standing ovation on The Greatest Dancer.

This British show follows dancers of all ages and genres as they compete for prize money and the chance to appear on Strictly Come Dancing. At first, the dancer or group is hidden behind a wall.

As they start to perform, the audience is given the chance to vote on the audition. If more than 75 percent of the audience likes the dancer, the mirrored-wall will open and the dancer moves on to the next round.

When 16-year-old Harrison stepped onto the stage, the audience and judges were not sure what to expect. In fact, some of them even looked downright scared.

Harrison was committed to his contemporary dance routine audition, dressed as Pennywise, the evil clown from the film It. Just watch as Harrison stands in silence holding a single, red balloon.

But then the music starts and this teen dancer starts to come alive. Move after move, Harrison showed off his impressive dance skills as he led us all on a journey of emotions. He easily earned the audience’s vote and much praise form the judges.

Judge Cheryl said, “You were fantastic, you didn’t break character from the beginning to the end.”

In fact, dancing in character is a key factor in each one of Harrison’s routines. He enjoys finding a theme and telling a story through the beautiful art of dance.

Harrison is certainly a serious contender on The Greatest Dancer. Who else is curious to see what this young man does next?
