New Zealand's Got Talent auditions arrived in Auckland today with hundreds of acts appearing, from performing dogs to fire dancers.
The auditions, held at Epsom Girls Grammar, saw a Japanese Taiko drummers group, Bollywood-style dancers, and a crew of retiree hip hop dancers - named Hip Op-eration.
The

The group is planning to honour the global hip hop scene with a special performance at the World Hip Hop Championships in Las Vegas in August.
The dance troupe of octogenarians have been officially invited to do a tribute performance at the global hip hop event due to their passion and respect for hip hop and desire to inspire people to pursue their dreams no matter what their limitations.
