With its eye-popping visuals, colorful cast of outrageously dressed characters, and terrifyingly fierce competition, “World of Dance” sometimes feels just a little bit like a dance version of The Hunger Games. (“The Dancer Games,” perhaps?) Last night’s episode only reinforced that sense, as we watched 12 formidable acts get mercilessly narrowed down to just four […]
The stakes are never not high on a show like “World of Dance,” but last night’s episode—the very last of the Duels eps for this season—felt especially fraught. Why? The theme running through most of the routines (and the scores, and the results) was that age-old competition debate of tricks versus “goosies,” as J.Lo would […]
Look, we love all the extraordinary competitors on NBC’s “World of Dance,” but let’s be real here: The Junior Division dancers are our favorites.

In our humble opinions, every single act that walks onto the “World of Dance” stage is supremely overqualified to win all of the prize money, but this is a TV dance competition, so cuts will be made. Tears will be shed and wiped away gently, […]
We can’t wait to see what amazingness “World of Dance” Season 3, which premieres February 26 on NBC, has in store. (Especially since its insanely stacked talent roster includes some of our all-time favorite dancers.) But while you’re waiting for the new season to air, take a look at this video compilation of the top […]
Mark your calendars, people—”World of Dance” officially returns to NBC for its third season on Tuesday, February 26. And you guys, the level of talent this season is OUT OF CONTROL.
