Andrey Gusev – Vera Bondareva (RUS), Andrea Silvestri – Martina Varadi (HUN),  Marius-Andrei Balan – Khrystyna Moshenska (GER) and Edgar Marcos Borjas – Alina Nowak (POL) demonstrated four Cha Cha Cha and Samba battles as a showcase. 

The panel of three persons; one random member from the audience picked by MC Amjad, Beatrix Lajtai from the Hungarian NMB, and a Youth Olympic Games athlete, B-girl Csepke from Hungary, who participated the competition at WUG, pointed their flags towards the couples they considered the winners of each battle.
