Style: Experimental Hip Hop
Members: Charles Denton (AKA Chuck), 28
Hometown: Manchester
The free-styling and free-falling Chuck is a true dance superhero. He has an original underground style that encompasses house, hip hop and his own unique tricks called ‘death drops’ that Chuck says “would normally hurt people”.
Chuck started dancing this style after copying martial arts films as a teenager; he would pile the sofa cushions on his living room floor and practice his flips and tricks. Since then he has incorporated his crash landings into his performance to make his style truly one of a kind.
The loveable Chuck lives at home with his parents and has a day job as a construction site manager. He’ll now need to build the best routines of his life if he is to be crowned the Got To Dance champion for 2012.

Q: What would winning Got To Dance and £250,000 mean to you?
