Fighting Gravity

Fighting Gravity was a blacklight dance group act from Season 5 of America's Got Talent.

Background
Fighting Gravity was formed from students at Virginia Tech. All fraternity brothers from the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity, none of them had any dancing experience prior to forming their act. To achieve their dream of having their own show on the Vegas Strip, Fighting Gravity auditioned for America's Got Talent.

Audition
Fighting Gravity's audition consisted of using blacklights to portray the illusion of a "puppeteer" controlling three white-suited beings to "Drive It Like You Stole It." Piers Morgan, Sharon Osbourne, and Howie Mandel all voted "Yes," sending the act to the Vegas Round.
