A young woman went onto the AGT stage, her arms missing but her spirit unshakable. The room went silent, the weight of the moment pushing down on everyone watching. When the first chords of You Say rang out, she began to move—an ethereal force of elegance and strength, crafting a tale with each stride.
She didn’t need arms to express herself; instead, her entire body transformed into music. The crowd sat still, eyes wide, hearts in their throats. And then, as the final note faded, the hush was broken—first with gasps, then with weeping, and ultimately with a loud explosion of applause that shook the floor. The judges, overwhelmed, groped for Kleenex, their emotions exposed.
A ballet dancer without arms performed flawlessly to Lauren Daigle’s “You Say” on America’s Got Talent, moving the judges and audience.
Ballet dancer without arms joins America’s Got Talent: All-Stars.
This year’s America’s Got Talent: All-Stars season included an incredible contestant. Vitoria Bueno is a ballet dancer from Brazil. She is not your typical ballet dancer since she moves with grace and elegance, even without arms.
Vitoria was born with a genetic abnormality, according to a brief movie about her background played before her performance on the show. She had no arms from birth. But even then, her mother saw that Vitoria enjoyed dancing as a youngster. That’s why she enrolled her in a dance class when she was just five years old. Since then, her enthusiasm for ballet dancing has developed.
Watch Vitoria’s incredible performance in the video below.
