Let me first say all 40 participants are extremely talented individuals and deserve their flowers and recognition. As a person who is obsessed with dance and dance competitions this prequel did what it needed to do! It was exciting to see a lot of my favorite choreographers and icons compete so I can admit I’m biased. I was also introduced to new dancers that I now want to learn more about. I just wish we could have seen every single battle, but to fit the allotted time block that was not possible and Mnet has not made the videos available in my country.

Aside from that, judge panel this go-round was comprised of choreographers, which was great, because they analyze and see things differently and can make rational decisions regarding their peers and colleagues. Overall, the show was very entertaining and can be enjoyed by all. All eliminations were sensible as the purpose of the program is to create a project crew for the upcoming Street Man Fighter program.
