America’s Got Talent (AGT) Season 17 aired its final audition episode on Tuesday, August 2, 2022, on NBC. It featured 13 acts, and one of them was Unreal Crew.

A dance group from Rajasthan, India, came to America to showcase their talent in Episode 10. Unreal Crew consists of six dancers, but the audition saw only five of them as one member couldn’t make it due to visa issues.

Interestingly, AGT is not the first reality TV show the group has participated in as they have previously appeared in a popular Indian reality TV series. The group had earlier participated in a dance competition show called Dance India Dance (Season 7) and won the trophy.

Unreal Crew is famous for showcasing break dance, and pop and lock moves, which are a part of Hip Hop culture. On the AGT stage, they won hearts with their beautifully synchronized performance. They mesmerized the audience by creating illusions with their hands and arms’ movements, similar to Season 17’s golden buzzer winning group, Mayyas.

The founders of the group are Altaf Madawat and Wasim Belim “Sam.” While the latter was seen performing on the NBC show, Altaf was the one who couldn’t appear due to visa problems. However, Wasim hinted to fans through Unreal Crew's Instagram that the co-founder might join them in the upcoming episodes.

The post read:

“And we are so sorry to say your favorite @altaf_unreal couldn’t join us for this audition performance due to his visa’s issues Hopefully he will join us further.”

Apart from the two, the remaining dancers in the group include Sanjay, Rajesh Jangid, Gautam Changra and Dinesh Panwar. All the dancers are professional choreographers and have their own personal YouTube channels where they post their dance/choreography videos.
