The dream of these young Filipino dancers to become the season 3 champions of the American reality competition, World of Dance, is now within their reach!

VPeepz, a group composed of dancers aged 11 to 16 years old, rocked their dance routine during the show’s Divisional Finals, where they performed Nelly and Fergie’s “Party People.” Dancing their hearts out and slaying the choreography, these young Filipinos earned an standing ovation from judges Derek Hough and Ne-Yo.

“There’s a level of synchronicity that you guys have that I can genuinely say there are few other people in this competition that even come close. It’s that good,” Ne-Yo said, commending VPeepz.

VPeepz successfully stole the show when they got an almost perfect score — a total of  98.7 points — during the competition’s The Cut last week, following their jaw-dropping performance to Billie Eilish’s “&Burn” which prompts Ne-Yo to ask, “How is the pressure tonight? How do you feel?”

To this, a member of the group shared that they were all being nervous backstage and had a thought that Jennifer Lopez, who is also one of the judges, would not be impressed with their routine.

“So we added a lot of stuff to make sure that this time we’re gonna be able to impress all the judges,” the member said.

But it turns out the JLo was actually electrified by their performance, even saying that her favorite part was when VPeepz executed their broken leg trick.

“You guys were body slamming and doing all kinds of crazy things up there, but you also broke somebody’s legs,” she said, adding, “The illusion of it was a really great illusion and really gave you guys a high point in the middle of your routine.”

Derek, on the other hand, told the Filipino dancers, “I love the theme. It’s so appropriate for right now at this stage of the competition.”

“Guys, well done and you should be very, very proud. Great job,” he further said.

VPeepz obtained a score of 96, winning the junior team division and making their way into the competition’s final round.
