Double Dutch crew Waffle consists of five members, out of which one is an actor, one a performer, and three others who work desk jobs.

Daichi, Taisuke, Elina, Kai, and Tatsuya walked out on stage in coordinating oversized shirts and jackets with sneakers looking like a nineties boyband but bringing so much more.

Introductions were made and when judge Heidi Klum heard the group’s name, she replied, “Yummy.”

The group is from Tokyo, Japan, and though some are performers and others working desk jobs, they came together to do what they loved most.

Waffle flew all the way from Japan to show AGT their Double Dutch routine using only two jump ropes. They chose “Let’s Groove” by Earth, Wind & Fire for their act.

The Japanese stars began to show off fun dance moves with some flips as they jumped rope.

No one missed a step, with the crowd and the judges smiling the whole time.
