Miami All Stars were a dance group from Season 6 of America's Got Talent. They were eliminated in the Finals.
Background[]
Miami All Stars is a diverse group of dancers that came together under the direction of Manny and Lory Castro in 2003. Their wide versatility is matched by their wide variety of performers' ages. Miami is well known as the melting pot of America, and the Miami All Stars are no different. They are made up of Italians, Puerto Ricans, Cubans, Chileans, Argentineans, Colombians and Haitians, and every culture adds a little more flavor to their style. The group is glued together tightly by their family bonds, as it includes cousins, nephews, brothers and sisters, a father and son, and even a husband and wife. Though they are well known for their Latin International Ballroom, they train, respect and are passionate about all styles of dance. 1
