The performance troupe scored a coveted golden buzzer and made it to the semi-final where they immediately scored another to take a one way trip to the grand finals of the show.
"It's pretty exciting, getting the first golden buzzer was completely unexpected, and we managed to score another in the semi-finals, it was a great moment for the whole group," Beau told the Argus.
"It has been a real challenge to try and step it up for our next performance, but I feel pretty good about what we have planned, and confident that all the hard work and training we've put in will pay off."

Unfortunately, Beau couldn't reveal exactly what the talented group had planned for their performance, but he was able to provide a preview of what to expect.
"It's going to be high energy, and exciting performance, it will definitely be worth a watch," he said.
"We trained hard for our next performance, and we're really excited for everyone to see it."
Beau grew up in Kempsey and trained at Garvey School of Dance before moving to the Central Coast and starting his full-time training at Lee Academy in 2016. He auditioned for Lee Academy's group Akrobatika earlier this year, and the troupe has taken Australia's Got Talent by storm.
"It's incredible to have a group from the Lee Academy to make it to such a high level," coach and choreographer Jo Cotterill said.
"It's an incredible feeling, and we are all looking forward to the performance on Sunday night, everyone is confident.
Beau is an excellent talent, and I hope everyone in Kempsey is proud of him for what he's achieved with Akrobatika.

"Australia's Got Talent is such a positive experience no matter what stage you make it to, the judges and the whole crew have been so great, I would encourage anyone thinking of trying out for the show to sign up for next year."
Regardless of the outcome, Jo is adamant that the performers from the Lee Academy will keep performing.
"This is the furthest we've ever gotten on the show before, but the experience has been so great that we will keep doing this again and again if we are able," she said.
"Beau is an excellent talent, and I hope everyone in Kempsey is proud of him for what he's achieved with Akrobatika."
