Then he took on “Staying Alive” by the Bee Gees which then transitioned into “Thriller” by Michael Jackson. He got a bit cheeky when he started to dance to “I Dreamed a Dream” sung by viral ‘BGT’ contestant Susan Boyle. A phone call blared over the speakers and Balance pretended to answer the phone. He danced to “Hello” by Adele, “Hotline Bling” by Drake and “Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae)” by Silentó.

“I really really enjoyed every bit of it” Amanda Holden said with a smile. “Any time we have a problem with a dance group and we talk about how you can be imaginative, to have a sense of humor, to be unique I’m going to say to watch Balance,” Simon Cowell said. He went on to add that the performance was very fun and relatable. It was no surprise when Balance made it to the Semi-Finals. The judges advised him not to have any backup dancers in the Final.
In the Final, Balance danced to famous television show theme songs. He placed 10th on ‘BGT.’
Where Is He Now?
After competing on ‘BGT,’ Balance received a modeling contract from IMG models. He is also a member of AMCK DANCE, Europe’s Leading Dance Agency.
It also seems like he is going by his real name, Taylor now as the name Balance is not really mentioned much on his social media. He did post a very artsy dance video featuring some incredible editing and art skills and incredible flexibility. “WARNING THIS VIDEO MAY GIVE YOU WHIPLASH” he wrote in the caption.
Taylor posted another video where he showed off a few moves like the ones we saw during his ‘BGT’ audition. Not to mention he is incredibly shredded with some rock hard abs.
