Other Information[]
- This was the second week where a "test" was done to decide who was going home (the first being in In a New York Minute which was a dance-off) between Asia and Jordyn. It is unknown if the outcome of the dance-off would be different if Jordyn had not pulled a muscle.
- Brianna won her first challenge and she won the ability to choose the ethnic of her routine. She chose African and the other dancers were given their routines by random.
