And while you silently critique the competition from the comfort of your couch, three smooth-moving stars will be holding nada back as they do the real judging onstage.
But wait, who are the World of Dance judges this season?
Well, if you're a die-hard WOD fan, you'll be happy to know your faves are back and better than ever. OG judges Jennifer Lopez, Ne-Yo, and Derek Hough are all returning for their third season with the show. (On the hosting side, Jenna Dewan is not coming back-whomp whomp-but Access Live host Scott Evans is ready to take over the show.)
Judge #1: Jennifer Lopez
Jenny from the Block is bringing the heeeeeat this season-as she does with literally everything (including her red-hot relationship with A. Rod). Aside from being a judge, she's also a producer on the show, which makes her twice as passionate about shining a spotlight on the world's best dance talent. In an interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, she said, "[World Of Dance is] honestly one of the most entertaining things that I get to do in my work. I feel like I have a front row seat to the best show ever... Seeing all these young dancers-they do death-defying tricks, the emotion that they bring, the passion that they bring-everything about it, to me, is exciting."
Even if you have two left feet (*raises hand*), just imagining the chance to perform in front of the actress, fashion designer, dance superstar, singing sensation, entrepreneur, humanitarian (the resume goes on) is enough to make ya sweat. And J.Lo is beyond ready to make the talent werk for it. She wants only the best of the best this season, and shes already recruited some past contestants to perform on her upcoming tour, "Its My Party: The Live Celebration." The stakes couldn't be any higher.
Judge #2: Ne-Yo
The Grammy Award-winning singer first made his mark in 2006 with R&B hit "So Sick," but he also has a fair share of TV and film credits like Empire, Stomp the Yard, and Save the Last Dance. Those last two introduced the world to his "so sick" dance moves.
Today, hes still breaking it down in the YouTube series "Step Up: High Water," inspired by the classic Step Up movies (ugh, young Channing Tatum). FYI: Season 2 premieres on March 20.
Watch Ne-Yo rave about fellow judge J.Lo's Grammy performance:
No stranger to competition or star talent (hes tangoed with everyone from Maria Menounos to Amber Riley), Dereks well-versed on the blood, sweat, and tears that goes into scoring a spot on the stage. Odds are thatll play a big role in his judging. So dont expect too many harsh comments from his chair-hes up there to be "supportive," according to an interview with TVInsider .
