The six dancers who had to dance for their lives were ballroom dancer Iveta Lukosiute, jazz dancer Missy Morelli, contemporary dancer Ryan Ramirez, B-boy Wadi Jones, tap dancer Nick Young and contemporary dancer Ricky Jaime.

Judges Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and guest judge Debbie Reynolds elected to save the contemporary dancers, Ryan and Ricky, and sent home Iveta, Missy, Wadi and Nick.

Before the eliminations, all the finalists performed a hip-hop number choreographed by Dave Scott, and there was also a performance by LMFAO.
