However, they were eliminated in August. Despite their elimination, the dance team performed so well that they received a standing ovation from hard-to-impress judge Simon Cowell.

Of their high-energy performance, the British entrepreneur boasted, "It was absolutely brilliant. What I loved about this was first of all the energy. I think what I just saw is everything a great school should be doing, which is encouraging talent and friendship."

When Emily was previously asked what she thought about her experience performing on the "AGT" stage, she spoke about how she focused her thoughts on the corrections she and her teammates would receive. "So to really just think about all those so that we apply them is my biggest priority on stage," added the late teen.

Emily Gold also mentioned that while she found it challenging to balance her time between "AGT" and attending high school, she somehow managed to make it work.
