Academy of Villains

Academy of Villains is a hip-hop-based theatre dance group act from Season 7 of America's Got Talent.

Background
Academy of Villains is a competitive dance group from San Francisco, California. Established in 2009, Academy of Villains is directed and managed by Pharside and Krystal Meraz. The group has placed in every competition they have ever entered and were crowned USA Champions at Hip Hop in 2012. They attribute their success to hard work, determination and drive. 1

Audition
Academy of Villains submitted its audition onto YouTube. Although the audition was neither viewable nor votable on the AGT YouTube Channel, the group's audition was strong enough for the judges to send it to the Quarterfinals along with eleven other YouTube Acts.

Quarterfinals
Academy of Villains's Quarterfinals performance consisted of dancing as a group to "Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Whuteva." The group received enough votes to be sent to the Semifinals instead of Cast In Bronze and Reverse Order.
