Twist and Pulse

Twist and Pulse, consisting of Ashley Glazebrook and Glen Murphy, are an English street dance duo known for ‘streetcomedy’, a blend of street dance and comedy. They achieved recognition as runners-up on Britain’s Got Talent in 2010 and later winners of Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions in 2019. After achieving widespread recognition as runners-up on the fourth series of Britain’s Got Talent in 2010, the English street dance duo Twist and Pulse, comprised of Ashley Glazebrook and Glen Murphy, established their unique ‘streetcomedy’ style, a dynamic blend of street dance and comedy. Their memorable performances on the show, including routines set to the EastEnders theme and The Cheeky Girls’ ‘Touch My Bum,’ garnered them three ‘yes’ votes from the judges during their London audition and propelled them into the live final.

Glazebrook and Murphy initially honed their diverse dance skills, including ballet, tap, contemporary, and jazz, while studying for a BTEC National Diploma in dance at the BRIT School of Performing Arts and Technology. Following their initial success, Twist and Pulse significantly expanded their reach in 2012, presenting and performing at every date of the 70-day Olympic Torch Relay Tour. That same year, they also showcased their talents at various London 2012 Summer Olympics events, performing for basketball, badminton, and volleyball audiences. Further demonstrating their impact, their self-developed dance troupe, the Twist and Pulse Dance Company (TPDC), reached the live semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent in 2012.

Their enduring appeal stems from their distinctive ‘streetcomedy’ style, making Twist and Pulse a highly sought-after act for a wide array of global entertainment projects.
