Season chronology |
Season 2 was taped between January and March 2018 at Universal Studios Hollywood; about two months before first airing.
While the format for season 2 remained relatively unchanged, there were a few slight alterations. Season 2 received a 16-episode order.,[2] six more than the ten-episode first season. Additionally, this season, a fourth category, Junior Team, was added for acts under 18 with 5 or more members. The qualifier rounds are cut down from a two minutes to a one-minute routine. The Duels are cut down from two minutes to a ´75 seconds´-routine. The top three highest-scoring acts in The Cut from each division will move on to The Divisional Final, in last season it was just the top two. The Cut, Divisional and World Final rounds are cut down from a two minutes to a '90 seconds'-routine. In The Cut and Divisional Final guest celebrities are assigned as mentors to each division. On World Final there are intermezzo shows. This season by Les Twins, Keone & Mari (actually Mariel) Madrid, Kinjaz and Derek Hough.
In preparation for season two, handpicked competitors, being talented in any styles of dancing, from qualifying events around the nation and thousands of online submissions, are divided into four divisions:
In some cases dancers who didn't apply were directly contacted by the producers or their agents.
The elimination process of the contestants are in four rounds:
In the World Final all four division champions will compete for the US$1,000,000 grand prize. The concept of last season is copied; every contestant will perform twice in two separate rounds. The average score of both rounds by each contestant will make their final score. The contestant(s) with the highest final score will be crowned World of Dance champion 2018 and will win the US$1,000,000 grand prize.
The judges are scoring in 5 categories. Each category is worth 20 points, with a perfect score of 100:
Jennifer Lopez, Ne-Yo, and Derek Hough returned as the series judges, with Jenna Dewan returning as host.[4] Misty Copeland, who guest judged in season 1, came back as guest judge for the Divisional Final, with Julianne Hough, Mel B, Savion Glover and Paula Abdul also joining as guest mentors for The Cut.[5]
Tony Award winner Savion Glover, collaborated with judge Jennifer Lopez with the Junior Team division. Actress, dancer, singer and Emmy Award-winning choreographer Julianne Hough, worked with her brother, judge Derek Hough, in the Upper division. “America’s Got Talent” judge Mel B joined forces with judge Ne-Yo in mentoring the Junior division. World-renowned dancer/choreographer Paula Abdul teamed with host/mentor Jenna Dewan in the Upper Team division Grammy Award-winning and multi-platinum selling artist Ciara joined as guest mentor during the Divisional Final as well (airing Wednesday, Sept. 5 at 9 p.m. ET/PT).
Three weeks after the season finale host Jenna Dewan publicly announced that she would not return as host for season 3. “It has been an absolute thrill to be a part of this incredible, groundbreaking show from the very beginning. I am forever grateful of my NBC family. However I will not be returning to the show as host for season 3.” While she did not return for season 3 as a host, she confirmed she would be returning briefly as a mentor.
The acts competing in season 2 were released by People on May 1, 2018, and Bustle.[6][7] The list of contestants who made it to The Duels is published by NewsWeek, except Elektro Elite and ThaMOST (s.below).[8] The ages for each dance act were made available on the World of Dance website.

Some average scores are taken from a summary clip from the TV broadcast of part 4.
In The Cut, the 30 remaining acts compete for three spots in each of their divisions. As each dance act competes, their final score is displayed on a leaderboard for their division. Once a dance act's score falls out of the top 3, they face immediate elimination. For this round, each of the judges and the host, Jenna Dewan, became mentors for one of the four divisions; They were also joined by four guest mentors: Savion Glover, Julianne Hough, Paula Abdul, and Mel B. Jennifer & Savion worked with the Junior Teams, Derek & Julianne worked with the Upper acts, Jenna & Paula worked with the Upper Teams, and Ne-Yo & Mel B worked with the Junior acts.
