Our Dance Factor Lincolnshire winning groups Game Over, D-Feet and Resuss did us proud performing at Lincoln Castle's 'Magna Party'. The groups opened the show for Britain's Got Talent winners Diversity, and were able to have a sneaky peek during the day at the professional dance troupe's rehearsals. Check out our gallery for full images from the day.
