iLuminate is a theatrical and technology company based in New York, New York, USA, best known for competing in the sixth season of America's Got Talent. They finished in third place.[1][2][3][4]

The dancers were dressed in black and performed in the dark, but audience members were able to see them because the dancers' suits were covered in a mixture of electroluminescent wire and LEDs; the flashing lights that all the dancers wore were synchronized to display various effects.[citation needed]

History

The company was founded in 2009 by Miral Kotb, a software engineer.[5][6] By 2019, iLuminate had performed in over 15 countries.[7]
