America's Got Talent on NBC: Meet pole dancer Kristy Sellars who won AGT in Australia

The allure of 'AGT' is not just the substantial prize money on offer, but also the golden opportunity to play as the primary opening act in Las Vegas - exactly the kind of break that can dramatically transform an artist's life. NBC's legendary talent hunt reality show may turn fantasies into reality for those with the fervor and perseverance to consistently better their trade. Over the years, the event has increased the level of entertainment while simultaneously upping the performance bar. Kristy Sellars, a 36-year-old pole dance champion, is one of the most eagerly anticipated audition performances this week. Her awe-inspiring performance has so far been kept under wraps by the filmmakers, adding to the suspense and thrill for the audience.

Kristy Sellars is an entrepreneur and pole dancer who won AGT (Australia's Got Talent) in 2019. The dancer will be seen impressing the audience once again with her fast skills in the latest audition round of the American version of AGT. The new season 17 episode will debut on NBC on Tuesday, June 21, 2022, at 8 p.m. ET. Kristy Sellars is one of the new participants who will battle for the $1 million grand prizes on the show.

Kristy Sellars began dancing professionally in 2003. Since then, she has choreographed and danced in live concerts, music videos, and television shows such as 'So You Think You Can Dance.' In 2007, she began pole dancing. Since then, she has revolutionized people's perceptions of an art form that was formerly classified as erotic despite the presence of several creative grooves such as acrobatics, splits, and spins.

Kristy launched PhysiPole Studios in Australia after two years of learning pole dancing. It has already grown to 17 locations across five states. Miss Pole Dance Victoria, Pole Theatre Overall Champion - Australia, Pole Theatre Drama Champion - World Finals, International Pole Champion, and, most importantly, the winner of 'Australia's Got Talent is among Kristy's current accolades. Kristy has performed her fascinating dance routines throughout Scotland, England, Singapore, New Caledonia, New Zealand, the United States, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, and the Czech Republic over the years. Kristy Sellars also has a large Instagram following of over 20.8K people.

Kristy Sellars and pole dancing

Pole dancing was not accepted with warm arms when Kristy Sellars began. It had a lot of negative connotations associated with it. When she brought the art form to a national audience, however, it "opened people's minds to the idea of what can be done" with a steel pole. Pole dancing is "the best workout" and a "fun way to get fit" for Sellars. Pole dancing, she believes, also helps with confidence and other attributes. On Tuesday, at 8 p.m. ET, witness Sellars' astonishing act on the American version of AGT on NBC.
