LAYTON WILLIAMS WAS BACK AT MOVE IT!

We were excited to welcome Layton Williams as a Special Guest to MOVE IT 2024! Layton set the dancefloor on fire in Strictly Come Dancing, getting all the way to the final to compete for the Glitterball against Ellie Leach, Vito Coppola, and Bobby Brazier.

Layton’s journey began at the age of 12, known for his outstanding performances in ‘Billy Elliot The Musical’ and BBC’s ‘Bad Education’. But that’s not all – Layton’s versatility as a dancer has shone through in a multitude of productions including ‘Kiss Me Kate’, ‘Rent’, and more. In 2019, Layton stepped into the iconic role of Jamie in ‘Everybody’s Talking About Jamie’ in the West End. 

Layton is the director of ‘Pros From The Shows’ and ‘Dance With Layton’, crafting unique workshops that inspire performers to follow their dreams!
