Who is the number 1 dancer in the world
The number one dancers in the world are the Les Twins duo and Eva Igo. Since a duo won the top spot of the competition that was used to determine the best dancer, the runner-up who is a solo dancer was also included in this report. Les Twins have won multiple awards dancing together. Eva Igo is the best solo dancer in the world, also winning multiple titles. Les Twins won the 2017 World of Dance competition and Eva Igo was the runner-up. You'll find a deep dive of my findings below.
WORLD OF DANCE
The World of Dance competition was chosen as the basis to find the best dancers in the world because it spans 25 countries, welcomes all age groups, includes all styles of dance, and pits solo dancers against duos and teams in order to find the best dancer. This competition is so inclusive that it is likely the best source to find the number one dancer in the world. Many of the contestants are winners of other dance shows and major competitions, are YouTube sensations, and even have their own dance shows in places like Las Vegas. This further proves that this competition is likely the best place to look for the number one dancer.
The World of Dance began in 2008 as a single dance competition. It has since expanded to a huge televised competition that spans 25 countries, has 47 acts including groups, trios, duos, and solos, and has over 100,000 fans, with over 50,000 in attendance. The show boasts over 30 million views per month online. The goal of the competition is not just to give titles and fame to the winners, but to bring sound and dance from all over the world into one community. The competition has world-class standards that the dancers are held to and are judged by professional dancers.
