Production

Format changes

The required qualifier score to enter the duels increased from 80 to 85. The duels feature a redemption round where the Top 2 eliminated acts (in each division) with the highest score compete head to head for a second chance to advance to The Cuts. In the redemption, the 2 acts compete back to back to the same music. Afterwards, the judges vote to decide which act will advance.

In the Divisional Final, the judges pick one more act to advance to the World Final as a wild card. In the World Final, each act performs once instead of twice.

The guest judge is removed this season.

Show concept

In preparation for season three, handpicked competitors, being talented in any styles of dancing, from qualifying events around the nation and thousands of online submissions, are divided into four divisions:

Junior (groups of 1-4, under 18),
Upper (groups of 1-4, 18 and older),
Junior Team (groups of 5+, under 18) and
Upper Team (groups of 5+, 18 and older).

In some cases dancers who didn't apply were directly contacted by the producers or their agents.

Scoring

The judges are scoring in 5 categories. Each category is worth 20 points, with a perfect score of 100:

Performance (20 points): :)
- Effort: How many different elements put into the routine without overloading or rushing through it. What was the whole effort to dance the performance by the act.
- Personality: How characters and personality put into the performance, in the sense of acting to stimulate emotions by the audience, telling a story or framing pictures.
Technique (20 points):
- Transitions: How smooth and elegant the transitions from move to move were without lacking a performance moment.
- Cleanness: How synchronized, ordered by a pattern, precise and committed the movements were within the act.
- Execution: How flawless the execution of the performance by the act was to the performance song.
Choreography (20 points):
- Difficulty: How difficult it was to perform the figures and movements by the act from judges point of view.
- Musicality: How well pictures, figures and movements were choreographed to the sound and beat of the performance song.
- Tricks: Are unexpected show elements included by properties, clothing or the bodies of the dancers and how well was it done.
Creativity (20 points):
- Originality: How unique, new, fresh and interesting was the performance.
- Artistic Choices: What styles of dancing were shown and merged. How well was it done regarding basic dance styles and style culture, e.g. costumes, shoes. The performance song and the use of properties are artistic choices as well. How well did they fit to the performance.
- Dynamics: How energizing and powerful the performance was and how much action was on stage.
Presentation (20 points):
- Crowd Appeal: How the crowd around the show stage reacted to the performance.
- Impact: How memorable, influential and worth talking about it later the performance was.

The Duels

In each round of The Duels, two acts in the same division compete for a spot in The Cut. In each division, the acts with the top scores choose their opponents, then both acts perform back-to-back, receiving feedback from the judges. The act with the higher score moves on to The Cut; the other faces immediate elimination. New in season 3, at the end of each division, the 2 highest scoring eliminated acts will face off in Redemption. The 2 acts will dance to the same song back to back and the judges will decide who will take the last remaining spot in The Cut by majority vote.^[2]

The Cut

In The Cut, the 24 remaining acts (6 in each division) compete for three spots in each of their divisions. As each dance act competes, their final score is displayed on a leaderboard for their division. Once a dance act's score falls out of the top 3, they face immediate elimination. For this round, each of the judges and special guest, former host, Jenna Dewan, acted as mentors for one of the four divisions; Jenna worked with the Junior Teams, Derek worked with the Upper acts, Ne-Yo worked with the Upper Teams, and Jennifer worked with the Junior acts.
