'America's Got Talent' Auditions: Act Uploads Dance Routine Online After Being Cut From NBC Competition, Fans Astounded [VIDEO]
While Complexity Club Dance Studio were visible during backstage interviews with other performers on America's Got Talent earlier this month, the dance group's performance never aired on the NBC competition series.

The dancers, all children and teens, were ultimately cut during the first round of auditions for the program, but on Saturday, choreographer Alexa Moffett decided to share their routine anyway by posting it online (featured below).
Set to Pitbull's (feat. Kesha) Timber, the hand-held footage shows the girls performing an "acro balance" act, forming unique human towers and moving with surprising strength.

During the first 48 hours the video received over 60 responses, mostly from viewers surprised that the act did not pass through NBC's audition round. Even more were shocked to learn that the routine hadn't even aired on the series, though the dancers can be seen during their episode talking to other contestants backstage and recoiling at one act's spiders.
This was not Moffett's first encounter with choreographing for television. She's taught a number of dancers who have gone on to compete and was even involved with "Fresh Faces," the five-girl dance act which made it through into the finals on America's Got Talent last season. The Minnesota native has also taught dancers who've appeared on the Disney Channel's Shake It Up Make Your Mark Contest, Fox's The X Factor, and Lifetime's Dance Moms.
