Beale Street Flippers was a acrobatic group from Season 4 of America's Got Talent. It was eliminated in the Quarterfinals.
Background[]
The Beale Street Flippers, a sports entertainment group from Memphis, Tennessee, perform intense acrobatic routines. Performing since the age of six, Rarecas spearheaded the creation of the group. Most of the Beale Street Flippers are family and grew up together as brothers and cousins. These young athletes have overcome major struggles from the environment in which they were raised and still reside. Even after a serious gunshot wound to the back, Rarecas has led his brothers and cousins to regain focus on the group and convinced them to audition for America's Got Talent. Their inspiration comes from their mother and aunt, Vickie Williams, who has pushed them to become all that they can be. [1]
