Top 8 (S01E09)

The episode kicks off with two dancers eliminated from last week’s competition. The format resumes similarly to the previous week, but with an exciting new twist: while the females select their partners, the males choose two dance styles. Each couple performs twice, showcasing a different style each time, but the judges won’t give feedback until after both dances. This week’s judging panel consists of Dan, Nigel, Mary, and Brian. The first round features pairs like Nick and Kamilah (mambo and contemporary), Blake and Melody (lyrical and disco), Artem and Ashle (fox trot and cha cha), and Jamile and Melissa (hip-hop and paso doble). In the second round, two couples face elimination and perform solo, with the audience voting to determine who stays.
