Format
Each competitor (dancer) will get a set amount of time to dance to a song. The song will be random, and the dancer will not know what the song will be. Then the competitor’s opponent will have the same amount of time to dance to the song. This will repeat for a second song. After the second song, the judges will decide on the winner. This will continue until there is a single winner standing above all other dancers.
