Announcing the dance crews taking the stage to the stars at KUTS WRLD 2026! 🤩🌠
For those unaware, our team received constructive feedback in regard to our team's initial judging process, as our methods were initially used with the intentions of letting as many unique dancers into KUTS WRLD this year. This is why our guidelines had the 50% rule, which would ideally prevent as much overlap as possible between crews. Unfortunately, we had not provided enough clarity as to how the rule would be applied, which lead to confusion amongst crews when contacted. This was an oversight on our behalf, and we are truly sorry for any inconvenience this may have had towards you or your crews. We will ensure that communication will be clearer at future events.
With this feedback, we enlisted two dancer judges with 10 years of experience in the industry to judge and re-evaluate the audition videos. Together, they formed a scoring system that judged based on accuracy, technique, movement and expression quality. With the input of our pre-screening judges, we are now able to provide you with the audition results for successful applicants.
KUTS WRLD is a community event based on celebrating and bringing dancers together in the K-POP dance community! We are truly grateful for everyone who auditioned, as our team was not expecting the sheer volume of support we had this year! For successful applicants— please refer to your audition outcome email, where you will find a Google Form for stage lighting, and details regarding ticket referrals. If your crew has dancers under the age of 18, please read your audition outcome email for a media consent form and permission slip. (All links will be available in our Facebook group.) All audition results are final.
For unsuccessful applicants, please don't be discouraged, we truly wanted to fit everyone into this year's KUTS WRLD but due to a number of logistical issues, we are unable to :( We hope to see you at future events, where there'll be more opportunities for you to shine
