Overview

• The Flying Steps’ Team Recycled became the first German dance group to reach the America’s Got Talent final this season.
• Their roughly two-minute hip-hop and acrobatic routine reflected about four months of intensive training and sleepless nights.
• Founder Jeffrey Jimenez said competing on AGT felt like the group’s Olympics and that representing Germany in Los Angeles meant everything.
• Ten acts contested the $1 million prize in the final, which Team Recycled did not win.
• Dancer Christina Minz, 25, called the experience surreal and the best time of her life given the pressure of performing before star judges.
