Robot Rock showcase
Robot dance / street-funk showcaseDanced by Rick Malambri; Sharni Vinson; Adam G. Sevani · Choreography Jamal Sims

World Jam water-floor finale
Hip-hop crew battle / water choreographyDanced by Adam G. Sevani; House of Pirates ensemble · Choreography Jamal Sims
Moose and the Pirates hitting the soaked floor as splashes, illuminated costumes and the final battle converge.
The championship climax layers crew unison, specialist handoffs and floor-level water effects so every landing and sweep throws the dancers' attack back into the image.
