Hi. Hello, how are you? Curtis. Hannah.

She's got a ball.

How old are you, Hannah? 17. 17! Wow.

And what dance style are you here to do?

I'm doing a bit of a fusion today. Oh!

I'm doing a bit of rhythmic gymnastics, hence the apparatus.

Hey, rhythmic gymnastics! I already love her.

And a bit of contemporary, and a bit of ballet.

Hello, my name's Lorna. I'm mum of Hannah, who's a dancer.

Tell me a bit about yourself.

I did rhythmic gymnastics since I was eight or nine. Oh, wow.

But now I'm focusing full time on dance.

I've always loved dancing. Why do you love it?

It's just expressing your emotions

that sometimes you can't express through gymnastics. Yeah. Yeah.

I think Hannah is the greatest dancer because she works

and gives her heart totally to what she does. Wow.

I'm her mum, I think she's brilliant.

What was your biggest thing you did in gymnastics?

Probably, last year, I did the Commonwealth Games in Australia.

That was definitely a highlight for me.

It was insane. Yeah, that is insane.

I couldn't believe I was there. Commonwealth Games!

To see her step out onto that carpet was a very proud moment as a mum.

Do you want to try a roll? Yeah. Like this.

So, we're going to go roll...

She looks like she could play some serious dodge ball.

Yes! That was good.

Have you ever tried rhythmic?

Could you imagine me with a ribbon or one of them balls?

I'd hurt someone.

If the mirror opens,

I don't know if I'll be able to contain myself, actually.

Aww.

So cute.

I just want to go out there and show what I can do

and fingers crossed things go right for me.

You can do this. Yes.

Bless her.

It's time to go.

Come here. Give us a hug. Thank you. You're going to be amazing.

Thank you so much. Honestly.

You're not going to drop it, I promise.

# Can I tell you something just between you and me?

# When I hear your voice

# I know I'm finally free... #

Wow.

# Every single word is perfect as it can be

# And I need you here with me

# Every day

# You're saying the words that I want you to say

# There's a pain in my heart

# And it won't go away

# Now I know I'm falling in deep

# Cos I need you here with me

# Every day

# You're saying the words that I want you to say

# There's a pain in my heart and it won't go away

# Now I know I'm falling in deep... CHEERING

# Cos I need you here with me

# I think I see your face in every place that I go

# I try to hide it But I know that it's going to show

# Every day

# You're saying the words that I want you to say

# There's a pain in my heart and it won't go away

# Now I know I'm falling in deep...

CHEERING

# Cos I need you here with me

# I need you here with me. #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

Let's hear it for Hannah!

# Is there a ghost in this house? #

My goodness!

I've never seen anything like that.

Cheryl.

Yeah, me breath's taken.

I'm like, wow.

How do you move your body in that way?

Oh, and, by the way, while balancing a ball. Now you're showing off.

LAUGHTER

I just thought that was incredible.

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# I've been waiting for you now

# I've been waiting for you now... #

What you can do is so diverse, but then you also can tell a story

and you emote with your face,

which a lot of rhythmic gymnasts or contortionists lack.

I think you're very special and, congratulations,

I think you're very unique.

APPLAUSE

I loved that performance. The ball was amazing.

What you can do with that is just incredible.

This is The Greatest Dancer, and to see you dance in a way

I have never seen before, it was just so impressive.

I hope the mirror picks me tonight. It's going to be a great team.

I don't want the mirror to choose you.

OK, sorry.

Hannah, I find you so interesting.

I honestly thought you were just going to kick

and catch that ball the entire performance,

but then, you just started dancing,

which is something that most gymnasts don't do,

and you used the strength within your body to finish all those lines.

If you were in my team, I would give you choreography

that matched the music, give you a storyline,

I'd change your whole look,

get you out of that, give you a dress, and see you in the future.

CHEERING

Go crazy once again for Hannah!

# I've been waiting for you now

# I've been waiting for you now

# I don't mean to treat you unkind... #

I literally can't believe what just happened,

like, it just didn't feel real.

I think it's going to take some time to sink in.
