Diversity

Diversity rose to stardom after winning the third series of Britain’s Got Talent in 2009. Since then, the dynamic dance group has gone on to sell out multiple tours across the UK and Ireland, perform to the masses with countless television and live shows, receive the award for Virgin Media’s ‘Must see Moment of 2020’ at the British Academy Television Awards, and launch dance space Diversity Studio in 2023 based in its native Essex.

The studio offers in person and live-streamed dance classes to all age groups, taught by core members of Diversity. Diversity Studio has proved such a success as a community dance space that Diversity has now announced the opening of a second studio in Birmingham this April.

Diversity continues to elevate and push the boundaries of innovation, and its storytelling is unparalleled, with each performance providing a captivating narrative filled with energy, emotion and raw talent. Be sure to get your tickets now for an unforgettable night of storytelling and dance.

The members of Diversity continue to excel in their careers outside the dance group as well.

In 2023 Ashley Banjo was awarded an MBE for his commitment and service to dance. Alongside his work choreographing and performing with Diversity, Ashley has devoted his time to teaching dance to communities, appearing as a judge on ITV’s Dancing on Ice, and offering his expertise as a host in the BAFTA-nominated The Real Full Monty and International Emmy Award, Broadcast Award and Royal Television Society Award-winning The Real Full Monty: Ladies Night. Ashley also had the honour of co-presenting the Pride of Britain Awards, working alongside Carol Vorderman.

Jordan Banjo has also hosted a variety of TV shows such as BBC One’s primetime and BAFTA-nominated The Greatest Dancer. Jordan and Diversity’s Perry Kiely also hold a prestigious slot on breakfast radio presenting KISS Breakfast every weekday.

Diversity is set to take to the road on a major new tour of the UK and Ireland in spring 2026.
