With TV dance series slowly coming to an end, I'm taking the time to look back on some of the amazing talent that didn't make the cut on the hit show, "World of Dance."
This season contestants presented enormous skill and talent in dance, but unfortunately, that's not always enough in such a competitive field. Here are a few of the contestants from the show that I believe should have made it further in the competition!

BDash & Konkrete
Two Krump dancers from Los Angeles, California, BDash and Konkrete made their mark on the show this season. Their first routine was a fun and upbeat Krump dance, but included creativity that a lot of street dancers lack. Where these two won over my heart is when they performed at "The Duals" round of the competition. Concrete portrayed fear, and BDash was portraying someone who encompasses fear. The way these two clearly told their story through a dance style like Krump - which has a tendency to be limited at times - was impressive. The two were eliminated the following week at "The Cut" round of the competition, and I only wish we could have seen more works from them brought to the WOD stage.

Eva Igo
A veteran contestant on the show, and last year's runner-up for the $1 million dollar prize, Eva Igo left the competition entirely too soon. Igo came in second place on the show last season against The Les Twins, and wanted to redeem herself by winning this season. This dancer is only 15 years old, but she's nothing short of extraordinary. She auditioned for the show this season with a classic 'Eva' routine. When it came time to dual contestants, Avery and Marcus, Igo was eliminated due to the other her competition receiving a higher score from the judges.

Expressenz
This group of 8 competed as a Junior Division team and impressed the judges, and myself, every week with their perfectly synchronized turn combinations. They made it to The Cut, until the judges eliminated them from the competition. These ladies have already won six national titles though, and based off their performances on this season's show, I have a feeling they may add a few more under their belts in coming years. Below is a clip from their last performance on the show.
