A boy from Kendal who just missed out on the Britain's Got Talent finals says he has achieved getting across a very important message.

14-year-old Archie Quinn-Sunter is a proud member of the dance company Phoenix Boys, who impressed the judges so much they moved judge Bruno Tonioli to tears.

The emotional choreographer hit the Golden Buzzer so hard he broke it and secured them a place in the semi-finals.

The performance succeeded in bringing the judge to tears because he knows the struggles that male dancers can face. 

The group was then placed in the top three in the semi-final with the judges left to decide who would make it through to the finals.

The boys, who all come from different parts of the UK, gave an angelic-like performance dressed all in white and performed to Sam Ryder's, 'You're the voice'.

The overriding message of the performance was 'We are the voices of the future'.

The Westmorland Gazette: The 'angelic-like' performance on Britain's Got TalentThe judges gave a standing ovation with Bruno stating: "What can I say. I felt like I was in heaven surrounded by angels. That was so beautiful and inspiring.

"The choreography was superb, your choreographer did a fantastic job. I am so proud of you. I am speechless, brilliant...brilliant."

Among the lovely comments Simon Cowell made, he also said:  "I was saying to Bruno and Ant and Dec with an audience, you can't fake a reaction, when something is good you know it, and that was just powerful, it was joyous."

It was then a nerve-wracking moment for the troupe as each act received two votes meaning that a deadlock had been reached.

After being put to the public vote, the boys sadly lost out to choir group Northants.

Archie's mum Natalie Sunter, said: "There were a few tears of course however Archie was just so happy to be there.

"They were all so fabulous about it and patted each other on the back and looked after each other.

"There was a little disappointment but they were all just so happy as this has been such an amazing experience for them all."

The Westmorland Gazette: All of the semi-finalists on the Britain's Got Talent stageArchie trains at The Hammond School in Chester and is a former student at Kendal Dance Academy.

It was back to school for him this week however the dancer is determined not to rest on his laurels.

The troupe will be re-uniting on Sunday for a showcase in Birmingham.

Natalie added: "I think this week has been a little bit of a comedown for Archie however it's straight back to rehearsals and choreography.

"More than winning, Archie's main goal was to get the message out there that it's OK for boys to dance."

"Some of these boys have been taunted and teased because of what they do and Bruno's reaction to their performance was so genuine and real - it gave me goosebumps.

"All of the boys wanted people to know that if dance is something you want to pursue, then go for it."

"They'll be re-uniting on Sunday which will be great for them. They'll be showing off their skills as if to say 'you saw what we did, now see what we else can do."
