The "refreshingly evil" dancers Addict Initiative have their fingers crossed as they wait to hear whether they have made it through to Britain's Got Talent's live rounds.
Judge Simon Cowell praised the amateur troupe from Leicester after their performance on Saturday's show.
He described the 26-strong group, made up of accountants and bailiffs, who were clad head-to-toe in black PVC, as "refreshingly evil".
Other members of the celebrity panel on the ITV show also heaped praise on the dancers who did a routine based around evil witches capturing a girl.
The group said their inspiration came from gothic fairy tales like Snow White and the Huntsman, Hansel and Gretel and the Disney film, Hocus Pocus.
"Really, really stunning," said David Walliams.
While Amanada Holden described them as, "terrifying" and "incredible".
Now, the excited performers, who train at Addict Dance Studios, in Churchgate, are waiting to hear whether the panel has chosen them to go through to the live semi-finals.
Co-choreographer Gareth Chown said: "We don't always do such dark subject matter, but we chose it because we thought it would be something different and fresh.
"We all have our fingers crossed now, and I keep thinking the next time my phone rings it's going to be Simon Cowell telling me we're on the live show.
"We're working on something in preparation, just in case we get through, but there's so much talent that we're not counting on anything."
The troupe received words of support from X Factor winner Sam Bailey, who tweeted: "Absolutely loved the addict initiative dance troupe on @GotTalent .. My favourite so far xxx xxx."
