When we said that "World of Dance"
was the biggest dance competition in the world,
we told you we were not playing.
This is a dream come true to me.
And I just can't believe I made it this far.
Since day one, we've been talking about
how badly we want this.

This is all of our hard work culminating
into this very moment.
We want to take this thing.
male announcer: Tonight...
it's the Divisional Final.
The remaining two acts from each division
will go head-to-head
for a place in the World Final
and the chance at one million dollars.
We're at the Divisional Finals.
To fall short at this stage
would be devastating.
You have to just leave everything on the floor.
It's do or die at this point.
announcer: The Junior Division...
Diana Pombo.
You danced your heart out.
announcer: Versus Eva Igo.
You came out for blood tonight.
announcer: The Team Division...
Swing Latino...
I felt the same thing you feel when I perform.
This is who I am.
announcer: Versus Kinjaz.
It was amazing. It was moving.
announcer: The Upper Division...
Keone and Mari...
That's magic. Nobody else can do what you do.
announcer: Versus Les Twins.

announcer: Two acts enter,
one survives.
This is...
"World of Dance."
Please welcome your host, Jenna Dewan Tatum.
And your judges,
Derek Hough,
NE-YO,
and Jennifer Lopez.
So we have two acts left
in each of the Juniors, Uppers, and Teams.
Six acts, only three can stay.
This is "World of Dance."
The Divisional Final starts now!
announcer: Up first, the Team Division.
announcer: It's Kinjaz versus Swing Latino.
Hey!
Over the last weeks,
Kinjaz have transformed the stage
with their cinematic choreography.
It was like a movie. It was so cool.
Swing Latino have wowed the judges
with explosive energy and tricks.
Both teams have very different strengths.
They've beaten 13 other acts to get this far.
That million dollars is within their reach.
Performing first, it's Kinjaz.
Hi, guys.
all: Hey.
You made it to the top two.
Yeah...
We're ready to make Jennifer proud.
We're super ready to go up against Swing Latino.
I was just-- I was just thinking,
"Okay, how do we out-energy Swing Latino?"
It's--not gonna happen.
Yeah.
But you have to create enough impact
for the audience that they feel like you did.
Do you have a concept that you're working with right now?
We really wanted to dedicate this one
for the people that support and love us.
For some of us, our parents
were directly affected by the Vietnam War.
They had to survive in order to give us opportunity.
This number is specifically created for them.
I like that. Surprise me.
Make me cry.
This particular routine symbolizes that
our parents succeeded.
One shoulder on here, and then the support right here.
And you'll see us constantly reaching for something.
And when we come together to form this mountain,
we can reach those-- those goals.
Kinjaz.
So, this is obviously
a huge moment in the competition.
How are you guys feeling?
Me? I--I feel incredible to just
share such a really special moment with these guys.
Like, nobody can take that away from us.
We currently hold a one-in-six chance
of taking home a million dollars.
That's a life changer.
Divisional Finals.
Okay. Here we go.
Kinjaz, to overcome
your greatest obstacle,
you must work together
to achieve what one cannot.
Yes!
Kinjaz, Kinjaz, Kinjaz,
what's going on, guys? Y'all good?
We're happy to be here, yes.
The piece was amazing.
Like, nobody can match your precision.
That's a definite.
But I feel like the energy level of the piece itself,
like, where was that one magic Kinjaz moment?
You know what I mean? We didn't get that this time.
I think the magic moment is in their precision.
There was definitely moments when they just did, like,
they moved their shoulder, bah-bah.
And I was like, "Whoo!"
It was crazy clean.
And it was a bottled-up, controlled emotion
that, as a group,
had a power that really blew me away.
We're down to the last two in each category.
And I think Swing Latino's gonna have to
bring something just as special
and just as emotionally moving
to beat you.
Oof.
What's "nervous" in Spanish?
- Nerviosa. - Nerviosa.
All right, guys. Let's lock in scores.
All right, Kinjaz. Let's check out your scores.
Give us the scores.
92.3, score to beat for you guys.

That precision was crazy.
Is it enough to beat Swing Latino?
- That's true. - Is it?
I don't know.
announcer: Coming up...
each division will battle it out
to claim their spot in the World Final.
