America's Got (Dance) Talent!

June 28, 2013

There are about a million and one reality competition shows these days—and for good reason: We love being wowed by talented (and often crazy) people. But lately, it seems a lot of these shows have been overrun with some pretty awesome dancers. Just in the last two weeks some notable faces have popped up on the “America’s Got Talent” audition circuit—and we’re thrilled about it.

Meet the newest “AGT” dance superstars:

Who: D’Angelo and Amanda

What:
The spiciest little ballroom dancers from Dance Town in Doral, FL

Where:
The duo won Paula Abdul’s “Live to Dance,” Amanda was a contestant on “Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition” and D’Angelo was a member of The Untouchables on “AGT” Season 7.

Also, check out D’Angelo’s adorable little sis Ruby and her partner Jonas. They, too, successfully auditioned—no surprise there!
