He delivered a performance that would grace any stage in the West End. This young man left a huge impression on us here at thetalentzone. His cart wheels, flips, composure, stage presence and the ability to tell a story through dance were, amazing to see from someone so young. Luke also left a huge impression on the judges too. This is what they said following his performance:<br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"><!--\ngoogle_ad_client = \"pub-0466605792016836\";\n\/* largexfactor 336x280, created 11\/25\/10 *\/\ngoogle_ad_slot = \"7071761240\";\ngoogle_ad_width = 336;\ngoogle_ad_height = 280;\n\/\/-->\n<\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\"\nsrc=\"http:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/show_ads.js\">\n<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Kimberley: \u201cI must say I am extremely impressed with you.. I don\u2019t think I was expecting that. And to have pulled off a routine that is full of aches and fear and all of those feelings is much harder than something that is happier and go-lucky and fun and you did it really, really well. Just continue you are awesome.\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Adam: \u201cYa, I love it, it was Lord Of the Rings,\u00a0 it was Gollum. It was Gollum\u2019s split personality, it was a really impressive thing to take on and you were completely successfully at it. You danced beautifully, expressively. I adored it, congratulations.<\/p>\n<p>Ashley: \u201cWe talk about musicality. You hit a one and five in the beat. Not with moves but with aerials. For me you are a serious contender.
