It has been twelve weeks of grueling competition, and the grand finale of Masters of the Floor, from the Street Lights to the Stage Lights, takes place at our Church Street Yaad this Saturday. The big question is who will be the new Master of the Floor?
Will it be the smooth and quintessential dancer, Sheldon Bodden who has impressed the crowd with his creativity and consistency throughout the competition?
Will it be Sidney Tucker? Despite all odds, this rookie has grown to greater heights in his dancing and has managed to wow the crowd.
Or will it be the entertainer of the bunch, Charlys Nunez? “Ninja’’ as he is known to peers and fans has brought a fun and athletic side to dance through his daredevil stunts.
We got close and personal with the three and looked at their strengths and weaknesses.
