Natural from Santa Rita do Sapucaí, Southern Minas Gerais, Brazilian ballerina Vitória Bueno participated in the new edition of ‘America’s Got Talent: All-Stars’ in the United States and enchanted the judges and the audience of the show.
Vitória, 18 years old, was born with a congenital malformation and came into the world without both arms. Despite her disability, she did not give up on her dream of becoming a dancer; on the contrary, she wanted to make a difference amidst the challenges. And she succeeded!
In her performances, the Brazilian, who seems to float on stage, moved Americans with the lightness and delicacy of her movements.
The ballerina learned to use her feet for all daily activities. This skill quickly sparked her interest in dance. At the age of five, she was introduced to classical ballet. She fell in love with the style. Since then, she has been a ballerina for 13 years.
Dance and art have been fundamental in her life, proving that with persistence and dedication, she is capable of achieving everything she dreams of.
On ‘America’s Got Talent: All-Stars’, Vitória placed among the top three in the episode that aired on Monday, January 9, on NBC. Each episode features ten performances, and only one advances to the final. Therefore, with the result, Vitória Bueno did not advance in the competition, which brings together 60 artists who had previously stood out in other editions of ‘Got Talent’ worldwide.
However, this was not Vitória’s first international performance, nor was it her first time participating in a television program.
She won a gold medal in all the exams she took at the Royal Academy of Dance in England.
But her greatest achievement to date happened at the end of last year in Germany. The ballerina finished in second place in a talent show on a German television channel.
After her emotional performance on ‘America’s Got Talent: All-Stars’, Vitória thanked her friends, family, and everyone who supported her in getting there.
“Watching my performance on AGT makes me remember all the times I watched other incredible talents and wondered if one day I would step on the same stage… And yes, not only did I step on it, but I danced on the same stage!!! What an emotion!!!!! It is a great honor and joy to represent my country in the biggest talent show in the world!! I can only thank, my heart overflows with GRATITUDE!” she wrote on her social media.
