Stavros Flatley are a British-Cypriot father-son dance duo consisting of Demetrios and his son Michalakis 'Lagi' Andreas,[1] best known for appearing on the third series of Britain's Got Talent in 2009. They reached the final of the series, finishing fourth behind Diversity, Susan Boyle and Julian Smith.

The name of their act is derived from Irish-American dancer Michael Flatley, best known for Irish dance shows including Riverdance and Lord of the Dance, and Stavros, a Greek kebab shop owner with fractured English who was portrayed by Harry Enfield on Channel 4's television comedy and music show Saturday Live.

Following their appearance on Britain's Got Talent, the act appeared in the second series of Sugar Free Farm.[2]
