The Dream Bears

The DreamBears, the UK's premier all-bear dance, burlesque and cabaret troupe. The DreamBears are Dan, Justin and Luke - three likely lads from London town, out to entertain and have a good time.

Dance trio The Dream Bears ‘can-can’ look forward to the future following their successful audition on Saturday’s Britain’s Got Talent.The threesome, comprising Luke (31, a funeral arranger), Justin (34, a hairdresser), and Dan (29, a coffee shop barista), dance regularly at London club night Guilty Pleasures, and have taken their act on the road across Ireland, Italy – and even the indie rock Mecca, Glastonbury.

Said Luke, “We’d love to see how far we can go with this. And people seem to love it. Dan grinned: “Yes, we are the act that just keeps on giving…”
