Fighting Gravity from "America's Got Talent 2010" is one of the acts in Season 5 of the NBC talent competition series. Fighting Gravity is a group of glow-in-the-dark dancers. They are a bunch of fraternity brothers that range in age from 19 to 22 years old. They auditioned in New York, New York.
Fighting Gravity is a black-light illusion dance performance featuring brothers from the Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia. The original group was formed in early 2009
to compete for an annual university wide philanthropy talent show competition. The show was held in order to benefit an organization called "Service for Sight" which assists local residents who are sight-impaired. Without any kind of dance training or a choreographer, the performances brought the audience of over 2,500 into an uproar and have since become an internet sensation. The name Fighting Gravity comes from the illusions they perform, which seem to defy the laws of physics. The group never expected to reach an international audience, and hope they can continue amazing audiences with impossible illusions that don't use any wires or special effects. Fighting Gravity hopes to represent the Virginia Tech community in a positive light after the tragic events of April 16th, 2007, with some of the group members being students at that time. By competing on "America's Got Talent," Fighting Gravity wants to inspire others by showing that through hard work, determination, and some good lighting, anybody can accomplish their dreams.
