The crews must bring their A-game as the judges will be assessing their creativity, musicality, and overall performance.
In the second challenge of the night, the crews must showcase their ability to mix opposing dance styles. For this challenge, each crew is given two different styles of dance- one out of their comfort zone and the other that they excel in. It's up to them to fuse these two styles together seamlessly and create a performance that is unique, fresh, and of course, impressive.
The third challenge of the night is the much-awaited title challenge where the crews must perform an original routine that shows off their signature style and moves. This challenge is what determines which crew will be crowned the winner of the episode.
Throughout the episode, the competition heats up with each crew bringing their best foot forward. Some crews blow the judges away with their creative performance, groundbreaking routines, and jaw-dropping moves. Others struggle to pull off an impressive routine, unable to blend the two dance styles cohesively.
The judges' critiques are as instructive and insightful as ever, picking apart routine choreography and being specific about the technical execution of certain dance moves. Their feedback is aimed at helping the crews improve and provide constructive feedback that they can apply to their future routines.
