Walking in high heels is no easy feat. Some of us barely manage it for a block, let alone pull off an energetic dance routine. But for Yannis Marshall and his friends, dancing in heels is a show-stopping art form. With style, confidence, and jaw-dropping moves, they turned their love for high-heeled dance into one of the most memorable performances ever seen on Britain’s Got Talent.
Yannis, originally from Paris, has been passionate about dance for as long as he can remember. Inspired by his mother’s own dance moves, he added his unique twist – dancing in heels. His confidence, rhythmic precision, and unbreakable footwork make him a standout. Yannis once said in an interview, “When I put on heels, I feel different. It’s either you kill it, or you fall. There’s no in-between.” And with each performance, he’s shown he can “kill it” every time!
Yannis made it to the BGT semifinals in 2014, teaming up with friends Arnaud and Mehdi. Though they didn’t win the competition, their talent was undeniable, and their routine was unforgettable. Today, Yannis travels the world, showcasing his remarkable skills and inspiring dancers everywhere.
