Three expert celebrity dancers judge, guide and mentor the world's top dancing talent and troupes of all ages. The competitors showcase their skills, ranging in styles from hip-hop and contemporary to ballroom, Latin and more, bringing their passion to battle it out with the best of the best. Alongside the competition, the performers share their inspirations, challenges and personal backstories while building close connections not only with each other but also with the judges themselves. As the contest intensifies, the field of dancers narrows, and in the finale, finalists vie for a life-changing million-dollar prize.

While these network TV talent competitions are starting to become indecipherable from each other, this one does boast some truly jaw-dropping talent. Plus, again: J. Lo. Go to Full Review Melissa Camacho Common Sense Media 06/01/2017
Even non-dancers may find themselves tuning in, thanks to the wide range of choreography and diverse groups of dancers it features. Go to Full Review Mark A. Perigard Boston Herald 05/30/2017

World of Dance has stars, style and spunk. It's also wildly overproduced and seems a bit out of step. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Stephen C @bob25009 Feb 3 10 real NBC episodes. See more 05/11/2019 did it again. This is called World of Dance, not world of acrobatics. Had wonderful single dancers and groups, but as usual the champions are groups of crazy acrobats that roar like lions or yell...shame on you, judges. this is not dancing. they belong in a circus. See more 04/01/2018 Loved this dance show of extreme talent. Amazing. See more 08/13/2017 Judges suck. Show sucks. See more 08/02/2017 The dancing is truly amazing. These people really pour themselves into a craft and it is amazing. As far as the show goes though it has a lot of things wrong with it in my opinion. The judges, the scoring, and the structure of the competition leaves a lot to be desired. The judges seem to be just figureheads for the most part. They never really show us why they deserve to be deciding these people's fates. Maybe jlo not producing might help things. The scoring - Averaging for one is terrible, it gives to much power and takes to much power away from a single judge. The largest problem is the manner in which they display the scores. They display them to the audience at terrible times and never seem to build up the anticipation. The structure of the competition I would say fails in the fact that it doesn't do anything for the audience. Regardless of what this show is supposed to be or what people want it to be it is a show meant to entertain. You watch your favorites go home and you can't even pretend to play along. If you compare this to shows like the voice, AGT, AIdol. It fails in every way they succeed. Having a pure competition without taking into account the entertainment value is saddening. This is a show I would love to enjoy. I truly hope for the second season they share more about the dancers, the judges actually give input like they know something about dance, and they include the audience in the show somehow.
