Logan Hernandez takes the stage first. He hopes he can wow the all-star panel. He begins his contemporary dance. The entire panel expresses their excitement, but he won’t find out their decision until after the rest of his line makes it through. Fast forward through a handful of performances we don’t see and Ballroom dancers Jensen and Tristan dance next. The panel calls all 10 dancers out. It’s decision time.

Kevin Davis Jr. hopes to make the cut and Kyle Bennett. Clips of the dancers are shown and judging by the panel, both have impressed them all. And Davis Jr. has made it!

Lex is up next. He pops and vibrates all over the stage showing off his unique moves. The panel calls him special. Kissing ballroom dancers Kristina and Vasily take the stage next in the line. The panel claps and gives them a standing ovation. The second set of 10 come out. Lex has made it through to the next round.

Ryan Baily takes the stage. He has a strange dance style that caught the eye of Nigel. He takes the stage and the panel seems intrigued. Some of them didn’t connect with him. They deliberate on Ryan’s line. Ryan was cut and didn’t make it through. Romaine from New York was all sent home.

While the performances are not featured, the entire next line of 10 will stay! The dancers who have made it through will all enter into the next phase – hip hop.
