"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." "The Junior Division..." "Diana Pombo." "You danced your heart out." "Versus Eva Igo." "You came out for blood tonight." "The Team Division..." "Swing Latino..." "I felt the same thing you feel when I perform." "This is who I am." "Versus Kinjaz." "It was amazing." "It was moving." "The Upper Division..." "Keone and Mari..." "That's magic." "Nobody else can do what you do." "Versus Les Twins."

"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." "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."

"I don't know, like, I feel like there's something else that can be done, like." "Going up against the Kinjaz, whatever you guys do, it's gonna have to-- to have that-- that next-level concept."

"Again, the fact that you were dancing on top of that platform, I mean, that-- how are you guys' shoulders, by the way?" "You're sitting there;" "there's dancing up there." "This wasn't the cleanest performance I've seen from you guys." "But with that said, you make up for it in so many other ways." "Yeah, also I believe it was just such an ambitious piece." "They did so many different styles of Latin dances." "You did samba, bachata, tango." " Merengue." " Uh, Merengue." "Salsa." "They were representing for everybody." "It was a beautiful thing that you did that, that you even took my note and decided to do something like this." "Because here in the United States, it doesn't matter... it doesn't matter if you're Colombian, or Puerto Rican, or Cuban, or Dominican, you're Latino here." " Latino." " Okay?" " That's what we are." " Latinos in the house!" "Yeah!" "That's right." "Latinos have so much to offer the world, I feel."

"I dig it." "There are two very, very powerful connections going head-to-head right now." "There's the connection between a husband and a wife." "But then there's the connection between two brothers." "It's gonna be interesting to watch." "Yes!" "Yes, yes, yes!" "I love that it's a little bit of the old, a little bit of the new."

" I got the chills!" " Wow." " Yeah." "Keone and Mari!" "You just make me feel good." "You guys are, like, so smart in your choreography." "My only, like, little critique, if I were to add something in there, was you know that little lift there, when you walk around?" "It was a little like , little shaky, but..." "I have to disagree a little bit." "I feel like the lift was really clean." "And your power, your strength, it's your ability to tell a crystal clear story." "And I applaud you for that." "As I was watching that, I was thinking," ""Wow, this is like Fred and Ginger for a new generation."" "When the rose petals started falling," "I was like "Oh!"" " Oh, my God."

"Most likely, had a little probably tear right through here" "We need to shut you down for a couple days." "And my brother was like," ""Yeah, so what we gonna do?" Like..." "I put everything on my brother." "And I tell myself that you don't give up." "__" "Everything-- everything is on ideas and the creation that me and my brother put together."

" I get hurt more than him." " Mm." "You know, because, uh, his mind is good 'cause he--he feel the pain." "But because I don't feel the pain, I'm really in pain." "Don't feel like you're at a disadvantage by this, 'cause you're not." "There's Keone and Mari, who are-- a husband and wife connection, which is a strong connection." " Strong." " But then there's the not only brotherly connection, but the twin brother connection." "If y'all can tap into that, you could beat them." "NE-YO is really make us feel like," ""All right, work is not done." "This--we cannot stop here."" "Now, for Les Twins, it's gonna be about-- it's gonna be about an emotional connection." "__" "__" "__" "Next on stage, it's Les Twins." "__" " What'd he just say?" " "No mercy."" "Okay, okay." "__" "This was probably your more powerful pieces, and a really good way to take something that was a negative and turn it into a positive." "Absolutely." "This is the round before the finals." "The narrative was crystal clear." "It was emotional." "It was heartfelt." "And when that beat dropped, and you guys--the musicality," "I was like, "Okay, here we go." "Here's Les Twins."" "And also the classic Les Twins hairdo going on right now, too." "I love it, I love it." "I gotta say to you, Laurent, you are just as dynamic with one foot missing." "The chair, in my personal opinion, took nothing away from you, 'cause once you started moving and once the beat kicked in, you might as well have been standing up." "It was that dynamic." "Thank you." "So I have a question." "I mean, how--how are you guys feeling right now, going up against Keone and Mari right now?" "I will never just give up." "Where I come from, I born poor, in the streets, and I made it here." "And I'm not gonna give up 'cause of this." "A true performer knows how to face adversity." "And you did that extremely well." "So thank you for that, and a great performance." "This is gonna be a difficult one to judge." "All right, we're gonna lock in our scores." " Yeah, thank you." " Okay." "This is it, let's go find their scores, see who's gonna be the Upper Division Champion." " Locked in." " Are you locked?" "Keone and Mari, you scored 95 from the judges." "Les Twins, you need more than 95 to be Divisional Champions." "Let's see who's taking the spot in the World Final." "This is it." "Keone and Mari, you scored 95 from the judges." "Les Twins, you need more than 95 to be Divisional Champions." "Let's see who's taking the spot in the World Final." "The winner of the Upper Division is Les Twins." "Slow down." "You're gonna hurt yourself." "__" "Keone and Mari, you two are" "I mean, I'm, like, sick right now." " Me too." "Me too." " I feel sick to my stomach, because I love you so much." "This is a competition." "Unfortunately, somebody has to go home." "You made a name for yourself in a way that everybody will remember." "We left everything up there." "And we did every-- everything we could have." "Les Twins, you have won the Upper Division and made it through to the World Final." "Congratulations!" "Please, give it up for Les Twins." "One step closer to $1 million." "Next week, my leg's gonna come back." "And I--I cannot disappoint." "Yes, yes, yes." "'Cause if the show is 1 million, yes." "In the Junior Division, it's Diana Pombo versus Eva Igo." "What Diana's doing at 11 years old is mind-blowing." "Over the last six weeks, she's shown phenomenal strength and technique." "You got that Latin fire." " I can see it in you!" " Thank you." "14-year-old Eva has grown more than anyone in this competition." "She's shown massive progress, because she's become more vulnerable." "You belong here, 110%." "We've got two powerful contemporary soloists going head-to-head." "Up first, it's Diana Pombo." " Diana!" " Hi!" "It's you and Eva." "How do you feel?" "I feel that doing something different will tell us apart." "So I want to show that I'm a kid and dance is not just about, like, being so slow and so, like, into it and so emotional." "It's--you could have fun too." "Okay, cool, well, do you want to show me some stuff?" "For Diana to win the Divisional Final," "I think that she just has to make sure that her performance stays consistently childlike throughout the routine." "Whoo!" "And it could be towards the audience." "You can be, like, bringing them in." "Maybe you are just skipping around, 'cause you're "Alice in Wonderland,"" "or you're "Diana in Wonderland."" "The emotion can be used in a playful, fun, edgy way that is--just-- it will feel different." "Just go out there and be Diana." "Thank you so much." "I really appreciate it." "Of course." "Of course." "Eva is so good..." "So I want to give it my all, and show the world why I dance." "Next on stage, Diana Pombo." "Let's go!" "Here we go." "Divisional Final already." "Yeah, baby." "Diana came to play!" "You know, I-- I love watching you dance 'cause you're living in the moment in a way that a lot of performers can't do." "And that is such a gift that you have." "Honestly, you give me chills every time." " Every time." " Thank you." "So much." "Diana, I'm so proud of you." "When you're on that stage, you absolutely take control and-and-and ownership of it, and it's--it's beautiful to watch." "Thank you so much." "I'm interested to see how that performance goes up next to Eva, since that's who you're competing against." "But great job." "You should be very proud." " Thank you." " Good job." "I think you did an absolutely fantastic job." "I like the fact that there was a bit more dancing in this one than what we've seen from you before." "I dug that." "The one thing, if I had to critique anything, is that, okay, the song is really upbeat." "Your setting is really upbeat." "But you have this "oh" on your face that didn't really tie to everything else that was happy." "I can feel what you're feeling when I-- when I watch you dance." "Because I feel like there's a lot of angst in that, you know?" "You have that-- you have that down to a T." "But I love the moment when you just smile." "And you were that 11-year-old girl up there, dancing." "For me, that is so beautiful." "We're gonna lock in our scores, okay?" " Yes, locking it in." " Okay." "All right, baby doll, let's see your scores." "All right, Diana." "That's good." "Still a very high score, 89.3." " Thank you." " Thank you so much!" "Let's see how it goes." "That's a strong score." " So we'll see if you can hold on." " Thank you." "Good job, Diana." "Coming up..." "I got chills." "Only one can go into the World Final." "This is it." " Hi, Eva." "Hi, Mom." " Hello." "How are both of you feeling right now?" "Nervous and excited." "How are you, Mom?" "Confident." "Confident." "Eva!" "Whoo!" " What's up, girl?" " Nothing." "Oh, oh, my gosh." "You nervous?" "Are you excited?" "Well..." "I believe in her so much." "I really want her just to believe in herself as much as I do." "My dance isn't as emotional as "Creep" was last week." "Which makes me a little nervous, because" "I--I want to make sure that you start strong." "That first look" "I want Miss Lopez" "I want her to be like..." "I think Derek is seeing the more confident side of me." "What the heck, man?" "That was so good." "Okay." " Just keep that confidence." " Okay." "Diana's really amazing." "But I've gotten to a point where" "I can let go of my insecurities and just be myself on the stage." "I'm ready to fight." "Let's go, Eva." "Whoo!" "Oh, that was awesome." "Clearly the crowd feels it." "I want to know how you feel right now." "I feel a lot better than I have ever felt." "Last week, and the weeks before that," "I haven't really thought that I was enough." "And something changed in me last week." " Yes, it did, baby." " We could tell." " Yeah." " Yes, it did." "We could tell." "The girl I saw the very first time on this stage?" "I'll tell you, I'm gonna be 100% honest," "I was like, "She's amazing, but there's something missing."" "And that girl is not the same girl that just danced right now." "Without sounding corny, but it's an Eva-lution." "Whoo!" "I mean, when you came off that thing, and you were like "boosh,"" "I was like, "I got chills."" "Thank you." "Thank you so much." "Are we ready to lock in scores?" " Yep." " Yes, baby." "Let's do it." "Okay, Diana, it's time." "Let's go get her scores, see who's gonna be the winner of the Junior Division." " Okay." " Let's go." "Okay, the scores are locked." "Both acts from the Juniors have performed." "Only one can go into the World Final." "This is it." "Diana, you scored 89.3 from the judges." "Eva, you need more than 89.3 to be Divisional Champion." "Let's see who's taking the spot in the World Final." "96.7." "The winner of the Junior Division is Eva Igo." "Oh, my God." "Congratulations." "Oh, Diana, my little baby." "It was my pleasure to meet you and to talk with you and to watch you dance." "Thank you." "Look out, world, for this one." "People, let's hear it one more time for Diana Pombo." "I'm super grateful to have been here." "This is just the beginning of my journey." "Eva, you won the Junior Division." "And you've made it through to the World Finale." " Congratulations!" " Thank you." "Eva, let me tell you right now, you have what it takes to win this entire thing." "To win the $1 million." "I'm in the World Final." "That's crazy." "We have our three Divisional Champions." "From the Juniors, it's Eva Igo;" "it's Les Twins from the Uppers;" "and from the Team Division, it's Swing Latino." "Next time, these three acts will compete for $1 million in the World Final."
