"From a technical standpoint, super clean... it was cool." "At the same time, it was rhythmic." "The groove was different from what I know of you guys, and I..." "I gotta say, I didn't mind." "I definitely wanted the isolations and the things that you guys are known for, but adding this..." "this extra thing to it..." "like," " it, like... it worked for me." " Wow." "I just wanna say, I'm a huge fan of you guys." "It's the small things..." "it's the details." "And the subtlety has so much impact." "But it felt like there was more groove..." " Oh, yeah." " And a little less," " like, isolation." " Oh, yeah." "Call me old school, I don't know... but I loved the isolations." "And I think..." " I loved the groove!" " All right, you know..." "Yeah." "I wanted more groove." "Like, when you let go and just really fell into that," "I was like, "yes."" "And it was risky to come out and just be that mellow, but it worked." "I loved it." "You just gave everybody, like, a master class in how to kill it without breaking a sweat." "Why be here?" "Why come and put yourselves on the line to see if you are the best in the entire world?" "Why are we here?" "'Cause we're still growing." "It never stops." "We come from nothing, you know... we do this, we live this, and we only wanna grow."

"That's something that I've never seen before." "That's what this competition is about." "The difficulty, the athleticism, the artistry... you are absolutely extraordinary." "What I love about "World of Dance"" "is that we have a scoring system where we can actually judge, you know, a hip-hop group against a ballet duo." "The contestants are judged on five very specific criteria." "♪ Ooh, shut up and dance with me ♪" "Performance, technique, creativity, presentation, and choreography." "Each of these criteria are worth 20 points apiece, which gives a maximum score of 100." "In these qualifier rounds, you have to get an 80 out of 100 to make it through to the next round." "Here we go." "Let's do it." "We've worked so hard for this." "I'm excited and pumped." "We can do this." "We're the Mihacevich sisters." "And we do contemporary dance." "We started dancing... since the day we could walk." "Actually, even before that." "Like, since..." " Outta the womb." " Yes, the second our mom became pregnant with us... 'cause she was a dance teacher before we were even born." "From day one, the girls were at the studio with me." "It was just inevitable." "We danced all the time when we were little." "In the family room, we'd always dance around and our dad would play music." "We thought we were so good." "I grew up with one brother, and it was all boy stuff all the time... you know, soccer and wrestling and baseball." "And so raising three daughters has definitely been..." " Changed your world." " Changed my world." " Ready?" " Our dad definitely has a huge role in our dance lives." "He'll spend hours in the car on the way to competitions." "He's always there to pump us up." "Just give it your all, and have fun." "He makes, like, the best sandwiches ever." "He's just great." "Everybody else here started as a team and probably feel like family now, but we started as a family, and somehow we've turned into..." "Our own little team." "So it's kinda cool." "Announcer:" "Next up, it's the Mihacevich sisters." "This is, without a doubt, the biggest opportunity we've ever gotten, and we're ready for it." " They look like triplets." " I know, right?" "♪ This is a story ♪" "♪ That I have never told ♪" "♪ All the pain and the truth ♪" "♪ I wear like a battle wound ♪" "♪ So ashamed, so confused ♪" "♪ I was broken and bruised ♪" "♪ 'Cause now I'm a warrior ♪" "♪ Now I've got thicker skin ♪" "♪ I'm a warrior ♪" "♪ I'm stronger than I have ever been ♪" "♪ And my armor ♪" "♪ Is made of steel ♪" "♪ You can't get in, I'm a warrior ♪" "♪ And you can never hurt me ♪" "♪ There's a part of me I can't get back ♪" "♪ A little girl grew up too fast ♪" "♪ 'Cause you were never gonna take the blame ♪" "♪ Anyway ♪" "♪ Now I'm a warrior ♪" "♪ I got thicker skin ♪" "♪ I'm a warrior ♪" "♪ I'm stronger than I've ever been ♪" "♪ My armor, oh, whoa ♪" "♪ Is made of steel, you can't get in ♪" "♪ I'm a warrior ♪" "♪ And you can never hurt ♪" "♪ Me again ♪" "So good!"

"You guys were so connected." "It's like the feeling between you was..." "You could see it." "Thank you so much." "I grabbed the guys at one time, I was like..." "Whenever this happens..." "it's a good... it's a good sign." "It was really, really beautiful." "Thank you." "NE-YO?" "When you're doing something slightly slower, and it's about making people feel it, you wanna make sure that the point gets across." "You wanna make sure that it's precise." "This was very precise." "You guys are sharing a brain, because every move, you guys were super-duper tight." " Thank you so much." " Like, my favorite moments were the... the, the..." "Yeah." " Those!" "Great work, great work." " Derek?" " I have four sisters, so I'm all about sisters." "And I know what it's like to dance with family, and it truly is special." "The way your guys' bodies move, it's a contraction." "It's a breath." "It's the wringing of your body... like wringing out a towel." "It's like that in your bodies." "Instead of just, like, moving, it's like... it's like squeezing, and you guys have that squeeze internally that creates something visceral and just palpable and just beautiful to watch."

"Felt like they were meant to be there." "Gracias." "That's what this competition is about:" "Pulling out stuff that no one has ever seen before."

"I started my career really young, at ten, and then YouTube came around when I was 12 years old." "I uploaded my routines, and now... ten years later... my YouTube channel has close to 75 million views... so, pretty cool." "From uploading my dance videos," "I started to get a bigger name as a choreographer, and by the time I was 16," "I was already traveling the world, teaching dance." "I've met all of these beautiful individuals in classes along the way." "I was the only child, so..." "for the most part, been me by myself..." "until I found this group." "But, competitively, we're definitely an underdog going into this competition." "A lot of us don't compete that often, and we're putting ourselves out there to be judged by the world." "And... that's scary." "♪ The man, yes I am, yes I am ♪" "But, gotta take risks to showcase what you're capable of." "One, two, three..." "Four!"

" Huge influence." "Yeah, I can..." "I can tell." "But, it felt a little bit, ah... mellow for a dance competition." "The routine itself needed to be just a little bit more exciting." "If you're serious about winning and being considered the best in the world, you're gonna have to push yourself" " as a choreographer." " We're... we don't do a lot of competitions like this, so it is a different element to step into, so I 100% see what you're saying, and I appreciate that." "Thank you." "You look like Bruno Mars' taller, whiter brother." "There were some moments that I loved, that were like, "dang!""

" But this isn't a presentation..." " Yeah." "This is a competition."

"Great job, great job." "Are... are you guys an actual couple?" "We just got married." "Judges:" "Congratulations!" " So romantic." " I was about to say, if you're not a couple, you might wanna talk about..." "You know?" " Yeah." "It was a waltz, but it was the sexiest waltz I've seen." " Thank you." " Thank you." "But when we watch you do what you do, we're supposed to be amazed at how effortless you make it look." "Now, it looked like you were working a little hard."
