PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: Australian dance group Brent Street made a comeback to the stage, presenting a new complex piece with their signature evolving staging elements that defy easy observation. To win the Season 19 finals of 'America's Got Talent' against their sole competitor, AIRDOOTWORKS, they knew they had to think outside the box.
Indeed, they did! The Australian group's choreographer was the focus of their video package, and to honor her, the team gathered backstage in a heartfelt tribute. Next, the group used a stage prop consisting of steps on one side and metal crates on the other. The dancers executed precise, imaginative dance routines while tearing it apart and moving it about.
