During the 12th season of NBC’s America’s Got Talent, a cute dance duo graced the stage and stole everyone’s hearts with their audition piece.

Artyon and Paige were just eight and nine years old respectively when they auditioned on AGT over six years ago.

Big dreams!

Before they even performed, the judges had a quick interview with Artyon and Paige.

When asked what the kids’ plans were for the future, little Paige said they’d keep dancing together and they’d probably get married once they’re old enough to tie the knot.

Howie Mandel seconded by asking are they going to be friends if ever their marriage turned sour to which the duo answered with a resounding “Yes!”

Perhaps the most iconic dance to best portray a love story is “(I’ve Had) The Time Of My Life” by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.

And you can’t talk about this song without mentioning the movie “Dirty Dancing.”

“Dirty Dancing” was a beloved 1987 romantic drama directed by Emile Ardolino, starring Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey.

The movie was set in the summer of 1963 at a Catskill Mountains resort and revolved around Frances “Baby” Houseman’s infatuation with Johnny Castle, the charismatic dance instructor.

Despite their social differences, Baby became Johnny’s dance partner, and the two formed a deep bond during rehearsals for a performance.

The film’s iconic soundtrack featured “The Time of My Life” catapulting it to victory after winning an Academy Award and becoming a massive hit.

“Dirty Dancing” achieved cultural phenomenon status, it became an instant classic in the romance genre.

Its success spawned adaptations, including a prequel and a stage musical.

Can Artyon and Paige live up to the expectations?
