An all-male Filipino dance group wowed the judges and audience in the 13th season of ‘America’s Got Talent’.

The group became emotional before their performance, as they told the judges it has been their dream to perform at ‘America’s Got Talent’ and they were thankful for the opportunity. They said they had been dancing together for nine years.

The group’s performance was well-received by the judges and audience after they switched from dancing in sneakers to dancing in high heels. The dancers performed flips and stunts in high heels as well.

Junior New System appeared on the first season of ‘Asia’s Got Talent’ in 2015 and the group made it through to the grand finals. All members of the group come from underprivileged families from Sampaloc and Manila.
