The charming act, Chris and Wes, won the £250,000 prize money.
Callbacks[edit]
At the Callbacks, the judges could not decide sandwiched between eight of the acts so they organised a dance-off to fill the last four semi-final places. The acts in each category had to “face-off” their opponent with one dance; the judges then decided the winner of the each "face-off" and that act went through to the live semi-finals.
The eight acts in the dance-off were:
·         Alleviate (won) vs Sean and Stacey,
·         Dance Dynamix (won) vs Frameous,
·         Lauren Hair (won) vs Natalie,
·         Addam McMillian vs Crazy Popper (paired as duo named Liquid Metallic)
Semi-finals[edit]
The live semi-finals for Got to Dance 2011 began on Sunday 30 January 2011. There were seven acts in each live semi-final (28 in total). Each act performed in one semi-final each with only 2 advancing to the final. The judges awarded gold stars to the acts they held deserved a place in the final.
