Missions

Mission 1: "Battle of the Underdog"

Each dancer beforehand pointed out a dancer from an opposing team that they can beat in a one-on-one dance battle. The chosen dancer is given a "No Respect" Sticker for each time they are chosen.

Round two consists of two-on-two battles. Round three consists of five-on-five crew battles. The rules for these rounds are the same as the one-on-one dance battles except if a rematch is called, it will only be a one-on-one battles with one member from each duo or crew.

Mission 2: "Class"

Each crew leader chooses seven members including themselves to be split into five ranks. Each rank will work together to create a dance video. Each rank will only have one main dancer which will be chosen by the judges. The rest will be back-up dancers in the video. Each dancer in a rank will create a short choreography which will be voted on by the members of their rank. The chosen choreography will be the one used to determine the main dancer.

The two worst dancers chosen by the main dancer will have a dance battle. At the end of the battle, all the dancers of the crews except for those of the battlers will vote for the worst dancer using a "Worst" token. The dancer with more "Worst" tokens is the worst dancer.
