Scoring
editEach captain will give a challenge to one artist each from the other two teams. The challenges are:
- Theme round
- Prop round
- Best foot forward
The captain who gave the challenge can score out of five and the super judge can score out of ten. The super judge can also give five additional points.
The fourth round is the international squad challenge in which one member of each team has to match the level of dancing of the international dancer. This round is also scored out of ten by the super judge and he can give an additional five points.
Based on the scores of these rounds, two teams go to the final showdown. The fourth artist from each team performs and the super judge chooses the winner. The winning team's captain nominates two artists from his or her team to go forward and the super judge chooses the artist who will go to top eight.
