Mission 1: "No Respect, Battle of the Weakest"
Each dancer beforehand pointed out a dancer from an opposing team that they can beat in a one-on-one dance battle. The chosen dancer is given a "No Respect" sticker for each time they are chosen.


 * The named dancer points out a dancer they consider to be the weakest, and engages in a one-on-one dance battle for 40 seconds each.
 * The named dancer goes first while the pointed out dancer goes second.
 * At the end of the battle, the Fight Judges will determine the winner.
 * Fight Judges can request a rematch when no winner can be decided. A rematch will take place if two or more judges cannot decide a winner or in the case of a 1:1 tie and the third judge cannot choose a winner. In the rematch, both dancers dance at the same time for 40 seconds.
 * The winning dancer gives a NO RESPECT sticker of their respective crew color to the losing team, which is stuck on their crew fist.
 * The team with the most losses are labeled as the NO RESPECT Crew.

Round two consists of two-on-two battles. Round three consists of five-on-five crew battles. A special round, "Ace Battle" was introduced. In Ace Battle, each team chooses one Ace member. A random Ace member will be chosen as an opponent and the other Ace members have 100 seconds to choose to battle them. If more than one Ace member challenges the chosen Ace member, one of them will be chosen at random. The rules are the same for all the rounds, but rematches consist of one-on-one battles and points for victories and defeats are doubled in Ace Battles.

Mission 2: "Class"
Each crew leader chooses five members including themselves to be split into four ranks. Each rank will work together to create a dance video. Each rank will only have one main dancer which will be chosen by the judges. The rest will be back-up dancers in the video. Each dancer in a rank will create a short choreography which will be voted on by the members of their rank. The chosen choreography will be the one used to determine the main dancer.
