World of Dance returns for season three TONIGHT and JJJ can hardly wait to watch!

Derek Hough will return as judge along with Jennifer Lopez and Ne-Yo as dancers from around the world come to compete for the title of champ, and the $1 million grand prize.

“What I love about this season is last season there were certain categories, certain divisions that were stronger than others, and then this season, it’s the opposite,” Derek shared in a new interview with Parade. “So, in the division that wasn’t as strong last season, in this season that division is really strong. So that’s exciting to see.

He adds that the show is introducing a new element as well called Redemption.

“Production always tries to add new things and sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. This is unbelievable. This new addition to the show is so exciting and it’s made for the most dramatic moments, the most revealing moments.”

Some of the dancers you’ll see this season are sisters Ava and Ellie Wagner, Alex Arce, Kevin Avila and Sara Gutz who form The Trilogy; Brianna Haith; John Wesley Austin and Lauren Yakima.

World of Dance premieres TONIGHT, Tuesday, February 26th @ 8PM ET/PT on NBC. It will move to Sundays @ 7PM, starting March 3rd.

Eva Igo is the last junior division dancer standing on NBC’s World of Dance — and tomorrow, she goes out for the $1 million dollar prize.

The 14-year-old dancer recently chatted with Huffington Post on just what she would do with that prize money — pay for her dance lessons.

“I’d probably pay for my own dance, because it’s expensive,” she shared. “It’s hard to pay for it.”

Eva also addressed the haters who didn’t love her “River” performance, saying that it was all tricks and had no real dancing going on.

“Of course there were tricks in it, but dance comes in many forms and dance is not a certain thing,” she explained. “It’s an art form. It’s like if you take an artist, a painter, and people are saying their work isn’t a painting because they drew it upside down or something. It’s still art.”
