The second night of World of Dance brought down the house! Last night saw more dancers bringing the heat to the qualifiers and it’s hard to pick favorites, but here are the Top 5 Moments of Night Two!
1. The Lab (Over the Shoulders Transfer)
Mean-mugging while delivering fierce moves was The Lab’s MO and they were on time and on point throughout their performance. They had some serious unity, including raising up one of their own into a trust fall in one smooth motion. But the teamwork came in full bloom when the back row of dancers cartwheeled their legs over the shoulders of the team’s front row, to ride over them in a breezy yet cool as hell transfer. See the crew do it the smoothest at 1:26 in the video below.
2. Fik-Shun (Interview)
There is no way anyone watched Fik-Shun’s performance and didn’t feel one or two or a dozen emotions. The dude put his all into it and the judges felt it. But what made it more powerful was hearing his perspective on his family, his passion for dance, and his experience with World of Dance that provide audiences with insight to a soulful, emotional dancer. See what drives the performer and then behold what the man can do.
3. Miami All-Stars (Their Entrance)
Very Miami from start to finish, the pink and pastel colors of the Miami All-Stars flew throughout their unreal (and totally fun) performance. Even with that many people, the lot of them were in line and in step. There were a whole lot of dazzling moves that had the men spinning the women, but the one that brought the biggest WOW from the crowd was the woman being slow-flipped into a sitting position on the floor. It was all kinds of spectacular. See the pair nail it at :44 in the video below.
4. Luka & Jenalyn (Floor Spin)
Everything about this dynamic duo’s floor spin was awesome. From the way he glided her into it to the incredible way she raised out of it, their moves were graceful and immaculate. She especially seems insanely in control of her movements, as if she can do no wrong, even as she’s pulling off some challenging moves (that look seriously phenomenal on stage and on screen). See the finesse at full force at 1:24 in the video below.
5. Nick Daniels (Forward Flip Into a Sit)
Nick Daniels has to be one of the most flexible people on the planet. In his dramatic and acrobatic performance, Daniels blew the judges away, NE-YO especially, when he forward-flipped into a sitting position and came up with what has to be the most gleeful expression seen on this stage so far. Then he went back to what he does best, showing off his bendy moves. It was a remarkable, enthralling performance all around. See the stunning move at 1:20 in the view below.
