The acrobatic group of Zurcaroh was founded in 2009 by Brazilian Peterson da Cruz Hora. With the formation of this show group, Peterson brought a new form of gymnastics to Vorarlberg – a mixture of dance, gymnastics and acrobatic elements. Every show is an unforgettable experience. The various choreographic routines fascinate the audience with their colorful costumes and amazing stage designs. Zurcaroh presents diverse cultures and facets of our Earth through expressive dance and spectacular acrobatic components, accompanied by rousing rhythms. The performance of this group is always a high point at balls, celebrations, work parties or other events, triggering mass excitement and leaving behind a lasting impression. For a few moments, the audience is carried away into a magical world. [1]
Zurcaroh previously made it to the Finals in France’s Got Talent, after receiving a Golden Buzzer in their audition.
Audition
Zurcaroh's audition in Episode 1301 consisted of performing acrobatic feats such as twirling two young girls across all of the members while some were motioning their arms in a directed pattern. Then, they twirled one of the members around like a jump rope as one of the other performers jumped over her, and ending off the performance by swinging young girls onto towers of the members catching them as they threw her across the stage. Amazed by the performance, host Tyra Banks pressed her Golden Buzzer to send Zurcaroh straight to the Quarterfinals.

Trivia
Zurcaroh is the first act in Got Talent history to receive a Golden Buzzer in both America's Got Talent and one of the international versions of the franchise. Coincidentally enough, in both instances, it was the show's host that gave them the honor (David Ginola in France and Tyra Banks in the U.S.). They were followed by Emanne Beasha, who received her first on Arab's Got Talent, and her second on Season 14 on the last week of Judge Cuts from a guest judge.
They are also the first acrobatic group act to receive a Golden Buzzer on AGT.
They were the highest-placing Golden Buzzer act of the season.
They are also the highest-placing group act in the show's history along with Silhouettes from Season 6 and Detroit Youth Choir from Season 14.
