BAD Salsa
These young dancers from Kolkata, India, have dreamt about appearing on AGT. Their act mixed acrobatic flips and leaps with ballroom dancing. Howie called them the “opposite of bad.” Simon marveled at how fast they were, in a good way. “Without people like you, we have no show,” he said. The act got four “yes” votes.
