A WIRRAL all-girl dance troupe has spoken to the Globe after their ‘life changing’ Britain’s Got Talent experience.

Just Us wowed judge Alesha Dixon who pushed the coveted Golden Buzzer for the five-piece group – whose lead member Julia Carlile battles with the spinal condition scoliosis – sending them straight through to the semi-finals of the hit ITV show.

Made up of best friends Alice, Poppy, Julia, Annie and Rebecca the group say if they win the talent show the money will go towards getting specialist surgery for Julia in America.

If Julia doesn’t get the surgery, she will never perform again.

The girls told the Globe: “It’s been amazing, it’s so surreal, we’ve been getting messages off people saying they’re not afraid to go to school with their back brace because they’ve got scoliosis and people who were nasty to them before have been nice to them now.

“We really wanted to inspire people.

“As long as we have inspired one person, we’re happy.”

Their performance was met with a standing ovation from both the audience and judges Alesha, Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden and David Walliams.

“It was scary we thought we were going to get the red buzzer – we were backstage and we heard the red buzzer – it’s so loud. It’s louder backstage.

“We were watching the people come off stage and the people who were disappointed we were thinking ‘oh that could be us’ when we walked onto the stage we couldn’t believe how big the audience was. It was three tiers and it was all overwhelming.

“It looks really small on TV but when you’re there its bigger than we thought.”

Along with their busy dance schedule at Hoylake dance school and Jellie Studios some of the girls are busy with GCSE exams.

“It’s trying to fit everything in, we have school, revision, rehearsals and dance schools.

“This is our own choreography, we never thought we’d get this far – this is why we called ourselves Just Us because it is really just us.

“All our dance teachers have been really supportive, spreading the word, especially with sclerosis, they’ve been really nice about it.

“Hopefully we can have this group as our future because there’s nothing better than being with your friends.

“We just hope we can get the money together for Julia’s surgery.

“We just really want Julia to get this surgery so she can dance with us so if we won, which is a long shot, all of the money would go towards getting the surgery for Julia.

“Then we’ll split the rest if we need it. Even if it’s not a lot we just want Julia to get the surgery she needs.”

Wirral Globe:

Since the show, the girls have received many messages of support and well-wishes from around the world.

“Hopefully we can continue to inspire people to do what they want to do. We’re so scared about the semi-finals.

“But we’ve had messages from all over the world from Australia, America, Africa and Singapore.

“It’s great that the word about scoliosis has got around because so many people have it and not many people realise what it is but now people do and its finally getting the awareness it deserves.

“You look on sclerosis sites and we’re on it and people are saying that we’re ambassadors for sclerosis.

“If we win, we will be able to afford the surgery for Julia and then if she gets that we can go on to do bigger and better things.

“We’ve had messages from girls too, saying that we have inspired them to take up dancing and have given them the confidence to go out and achieve their dreams. It’s surreal.

Talking about the future, the girls said: “It will be so cool if we can have a career doing dancing – it would be so great having a career just dancing with your best mates, it beats every other job.

A new feature on the semi-finals will allow the judges plus Ant and Dec to buzz their favourite acts straight into the finals.

This feature was previously just used in the auditions.

On what’s next the girls are busy working on their routine for the live shows.

“We’ve just been rehearsing for the semi-finals, we can’t give too much away, but hopefully, we it’s a different side of us so.

“We can’t wait to perform live on stage too. We’ve spoken live on Good Morning Britain but nothing compares to dancing.

“Our lives have changed completely.”
