‘World of Dance’ Season 4 Preview
Season four of this hit dancing competition series is back this year with format changes and some surprises in store for viewers.
The judging panel is led by Jennifer Lopez, alongside Derek Hough and Ne-Yo, with Scott Evans returning as host.
A cavalcade of talented dancers will showcase their talents for an opportunity to win $1 million and the title of the best dancer in the world.
“I’m so excited World of Dance is back this summer with a new crop of incredible dancers,” said Lopez, who also serves as executive producer, in a press release. “On our show we always say that dance is the universal language. It brings us all together, which I think is something we all need during these challenging times.”
The contestants are chosen from thousands of auditions from around the world, then divided into two divisions: Juniors (17 years old and under) and Uppers (18 years old and older). The competition will consist of five rounds — The Qualifiers, Callbacks, the Duels, Semi-Finals, and the World Final. In the first three rounds, dancers compete within their division, but in the Semi-Finals and World Final, acts will compete against each other for the $1 million grand prize.
Here’s what is new in season four:
Only the acts that have both undeniable raw talent and determination will rise above the rest and earn their spot to perform on the “World of Dance” stage. To begin the season, contestants now arrive at a warehouse under the impression that they’re performing their final audition for a panel of producers. In a surprise twist, hopeful acts will walk onto the dance floor to realize that the Qualifiers have already begun and our World of Dance judges are there to determine if they have what it takes to make it to the next round. The judges will each give a yes vote, no vote, or Callback vote. If placed in the Callbacks, acts will have one last chance to perform and earn their spot in the next round.
New this season for the Duels round, the judges will now choose which acts go head-to-head, creating epic dance battles leading to some of the most intense performances the series has ever seen. Acts won’t know their opponent until they hit the dance floor, so the stakes have never been higher. Last season’s popular Redemption round returns, but this year a special guest judge will decide which acts up for elimination will go head-to-head to earn the final slot in the Semi-Finals and get their chance to perform on the iconic World of Dance stage.
The show has so far crowned three winners: “Les Twins” in season one, junior hip-hop team “The Lab” in season two, and “The Kings” upper team in season three.
World of Dance airs Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
