“World of Dance” is not messing around this season. Last night, J.Lo and her crew took an ax (just a metaphor, of course, but we’re imagining it as a beautifully bedazzled ax) to the “WOD” playing field, eliminating six beloved Upper Team and Junior competitors. Brace yourselves: We’ve entered the land of Very Tough Choices. […]
Last night, while the rest of the population was watching “Game of Thrones,” we (and all of you) were wrapped up in the drama that was first round of “World of Dance” cuts. I’m gonna go out on a limb here and say that everyone can agree this season is especially unpredictable: We’ve got a […]
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?

Which means that mediocre acts can move forward if they best slightly-more-mediocre opponents, […]

Your Season 2 “World of Dance” winner is…. THE LAB!!! 🏆👏✨👑 The kids of The Lab (NBC/Universal via Newsweek) The super-fierce, pint-size hip […]
How dramatic have the “World of Dance” Duels rounds been this year?? We’ve seen everything from the elimination of last season’s Junior champ to the bestowing of the show’s first-ever perfect score.
