The Argentinian malambo dance team, Legión, practices in a backyard in the early hours of the morning.
Winning “America’s Got Talent” on NBC would mean the group could build a studio.
On Tuesday, the fiery dancers got past their first hurdle, receiving a coveted Golden Buzzer from judge Sofia Vergara.
Just prior to the energetic performance, the dancers’ boots were lit on fire as were several props.
Judge Heidi Klum noted the show has seen many dancers compete but “their feet have never been on fire.”
Each week, artists including dancers, singers, comedians, magicians, acrobats, contortionists, dog trainers and more, compete to move on in the talent competition show.
Receiving a Golden Buzzer moves the act directly to the live shows coming later in the season.
Each act must receive at least three “yes” votes from the four judges that also include Simon Cowell and Howie Mandel.
“We needed that. That was epic,” Cowell said after Legión’s performance. Mandel said the performance was “very exciting, very unexpected, very surprising.”
The team said it practices in the early morning hours in between members’ regular jobs in the backyard of one of their parents.
“This is a big dream for us – an incredible opportunity.”
The winner of season 19 will receive a prize of $1 million.
