"World of Dance" audience, make some noise!

We are... The Lab!

And we're a hip-hop group from West Covina, California.

The Lab is a home away from home.

I feel like we're all connected,

like brothers and sisters.

- Let's go. - Yeah.

Boom, boom, dada, dada,

hit, hit, boom, build and chill.

Sit down. Good, let's go from this one.

My name is Valerie, and I'm the creator of The Lab.

You're skilled enough to be able to connect on stage.

Prove to yourself what you have in you.

The majority of the kids come from broken homes,

and these kids would definitely be described as underprivileged.

One and two and...

Having to, you know, kind of fend for themselves at times,

put themselves to bed,

get themselves to practice, feed themselves.

Good, again. One and two and...

This is something that's really inspiring for me

because I'm not just teaching dance,

It's actually more about teaching them life lessons,

and dance is just kind of the icing on the cake.

No matter their circumstances, these are exceptionally skilled kids

pursuing their dreams.

Their bond is the most special part about

what they're going to bring to the stage.

There's been a lot of arguing in my family,

and all the negativity just gets thrown away

when I walk into the door.

This crew means the world to me,

and I wouldn't be where I am right now if it wasn't for them.

Oh, now I'm going to cry.

We just support each other and love each other,

and we always get to hang out. - Sleepovers.

Sleepovers!

We're underdogs, but we're here to make a statement

that we're not going anywhere. We're here to stay.

Next on stage, it's The Lab.

- Oh, my God. - They're getting hyped.

Hey yo.

You ready?

Let's do it.

Come on, yeah!

Whoo!

- Oh! - What?

Come on!

Oh, my goodness.

This what goes on in The Lab?

You guys came out like professionals.

Seriously. Oh, my God.

It was, from beginning to end, exciting,

unexpected, innovative, your moves, your synchronicity,

everything about it was just so in sync.

There's something about being a kid that makes you fearless.

You're just like, you go all out and honestly,

that's what it's going to take to win this competition.

You can't be in your head. You got to come out here

and attack like a beast, and they did that.

Beast.

Who did the 540 in the middle? Who did the flip?

Man, like effortless, effortless.

Do you guys go to, like, the competitions and

do the conventions and stuff? - Yes.

You can tell the difference between people who are used

to competing and people who are not.

This isn't like a showcase. This isn't like a presentation.

This is a competition, and you guys competed.

- Hi there, what's your name? - Kaya.

Kaya? Kaya, you gave me life

to the whole performance. Did you see her face?

Yeah!

Kaya came out like...

Kaya came out with the monster.

Yeah, you're a little monster in the front.

- Yeah, yeah, listen. - All of you, all you guys.

- So good. - Start to finish,

top to bottom, there was a lot of energy.

There was a lot of passion in what you were doing.

- That's it. - Set the bar.

That's what it did. Set the bar.

- Yes. -

We're going to lock in our scores right now, okay?

Remember, if you don't score 80 or above,

the competition ends here for you.

We have this checklist.

It's got performance, technique, choreography,

creativity, presentation, it's like the whole criteria,

and so that's very clear about what we're looking for.

All right, let's see if you guys are going through.

You guys, you're through to the next round.

- Congratulations. - Thank you.

You guys were great!

How do you feel?

- Amazing. - Love it.

- Amazing. Oh, I'm so happy for you guys.

Congratulations.

I can't wait to see what else you guys have in store.

Thank you.

That's how you set it up.

That had absolutely, like, every single thing

you could want. - Sickening.

Groove, tricks, the dynamics, musicality.

I did not expect them to do tricks like that.

- No. - Like, I was like, "What?"

You weren't just in sync physically.

You were in sync emotionally.

It was risky, but man did it pay off.

It's always nice when younguns do

some fresh and exciting stuff!

Your range of movement is endless, bam.

That's something that's either in you or it's not.

Who's next?

Only if everybody hits the dab at the same time.

Are you ready? One, two, three.

- Whoa! - Roll the video, all right.

Let's go.

My name is Fik-Shun. I am 22 years old,

and I'm a freestyle street dancer from Las Vegas, Nevada.

I am the male winner of season ten
