Junior and Emily Alabi are brother and sister salsa dancers competing on America’s Got Talent, Season 12. They not only wowed the audience and judges Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, Mel B and Howie Mandel with their talent (they spin like no one’s business) but moved them with their story, too. Junior explained that he got into trouble when he was younger — including an arrest. “Dance saved our lives,” Junior said.
