Will Legion make it to Semifinal? 'AGT' Season 19 dance group’s quarterfinal act splits the judges

'AGT' Season 19 judge Simon Cowell praised Legion's audition but was unimpressed with their live performance

PASADENA, CALIFORNIA: 'America's Got Talent' continues its countdown to the Season 19 finale on Tuesday, August 20 with the second live show of the summer. The energetic Argentinian dance group Legión, Sofia Vergara's Golden Buzzer pick from the audition rounds, kicked off this quarter-final round. Known for their fiery performances, Legión stood out by dancing with their feet literally on fire. The group is composed of hardworking family men, each holding down working-class jobs.

On Tuesday, the ensemble upped the ante by setting fire to their boots and hats and adding a drummer to the stage. However, the overall stakes felt lower in this second performance in front of the public. They struck the ground with their feet already ablaze, while drums hung around their necks. It's elegant, illuminated tap dancing—like a sizzling, Latin-flavored Riverdance. This week, their hats were also on fire. It does not appear threatening, but it is spectacular.

Sofia remained a fan, stating that they aren't "really professional but are still so good." "What a show," she added. When Howie Mandel expressed disappointment, saying they didn't "elevate" their performance, he anticipated getting booed.

Heidi Klum disagreed, calling the performance "mucho, mucho caliente," and even suggested that if they perform again, Sofia should join them on stage. Simon Cowell praised their audition, but was unhappy with their live performance, admitting it "wasn't as good as he thought it would be." With more booing from the audience, he said, "I just wanted more."

What kind of dance does 'AGT' Season 19 group Legion perform?

Legion, an Argentinean malambo dance troupe, wowed the crowd with a powerful performance of 'AGT,' with fire emanating from the stage. For those unfamiliar, gauchos are often associated with the traditional Argentine folk dance known as malambo.

Dressed in striking all-black ensembles with leather accents and matching fedoras, the group commanded attention the moment they stepped on stage. Their performance was an exhilarating demonstration of passion and accuracy driven by the rhythmic rhythms of whips, drums, and, of course, fire, with each stride setting their shoes ablaze.
