Who Won World of Dance Season 5?
After weeks of jaw-dropping performances, World of Dance finally crowned its champion. Five acts remained for the final round: the Kings, Ellie and Ava, Briar Nolet, and VPeepz.
After all the hard work, it was time to see who would take home the $1 million prize money. Les Twins won the upper division category, beating out Eva Igo of the junior division and Swing Latino from the team division.
Les Twins
Laurent and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois, better known as Les Twins, have blown away the competition on NBC’s World of Dance. The French hip-hop duo beat Eva Igo, the winner of the junior division, and Swing Latino to win the title of first champions and the $1 million prize.
This season of World of Dance was the most competitive ever, with some of the best dancers from across the nation competing to be crowned champion. The top six competitors advanced to the Division Finals, where they performed for a panel of judges. The winners were determined by the cumulative scores of the dancers’ two performances.
The division finals saw Les Twins take the lead, even though they were competing with a foot injury for one of the brothers. However, they managed to pull through and finish with a score of 93.8, just 0.1 points ahead of Eva Igo. Their performance earned a standing ovation, and they were awarded the title of champions.
Swing Latino
The top two dance acts in each division battled it out at Tuesday night’s “The World Final” episode of World of Dance. This week’s matchups included Team Division finalists Les Twins and Swing Latino, who took on Junior Division finalists Eva Igo and Kyntay in their quest for the million-dollar prize.
The three finalists performed twice for the judges and the audience. The score from each performance was added and averaged to determine the winner of the final round.
The Parisian twins, Laurent and Larry Nicolas Bourgeois, wowed the judges with their impressive synchronization and beautiful choreography. The judges agreed that the dance was a perfect combination of high energy and technicality. They earned a total score of 99.8 points and walked away with the title of champions. In addition to a $1 million prize, they also received a spot on next season of the show. They will be mentored by Jennifer Lopez, Ne-Yo, and Derek Hough.
MDC 3
MDC 3, a contemporary dance trio, won World of Dance Season 4. The team, consisting of Madison Smith, Diego Pasillas, and Emma Mather, represented the Junior Division. They were the youngest group to make it to the final rounds, and they won over judges Derek Hough, Ne-Yo, and Jennifer Lopez. The trio’s performances were captivating, and their synchronization was impeccable.
Throughout the season, MDC 3 played hard into their strongest ability—storytelling. Their jaw-dropping performances left the judges speechless, and they made it clear that their mission is bigger than dancing.
In the semi-finals, MDC 3 delivered a performance that told an emotional story of Madison’s mother’s battle with cancer. The number earned them the highest score of the round and sent them into the World Finals. This was MDC 3’s last chance to prove that they were the best group of the season. They did not disappoint, and they walked away with the prize money of $1 million.

The Kings were the top scorers in the Qualifier round and jumped to the forefront of the competition with their amazing performances. They were able to impress the judges Jennifer Lopez, Derek Hough, and Ne-Yo with their outstanding synchronization and captivating choreography.
