Preparation: The journey in JDJ started off well but didn't get 30 much. Broke the jinx with Lavni but want the 30 still. For me the competition has just started.
Dance Form: Salsa
Song: Jhooma Chooma De De
Remo: Salsa was performed and Sneha is very good at salsa. I was excited for this act and the excitement was till the end. The beginning I saw Sneha shinning but after the tempo rose I saw Karanvir doing hard core dance. The best performance of Karan till today. 9
Madhuri: Sneha now we know why you are known as the Salsa queen. It was a pleasure watching you. Karanvir supported her tremendously. The style was rough and rakish. The salsa was done well and there were no nooks in the lifts. Very very nice. 9
Karan: Jhooma Chooma is all about the attitude and you maintained. Very well done. Undoubtedly the best performance of yours so far. 9
Total Marks: 27/30

Dance Form: Paso Doble/Krumping
Song: Mast
Remo: The most energy is needed in this dance form which was maintained throughout. The portrayal of the character was throughout. Outstanding Sana and Tushar amazing choreography. 9
Karan: Both were outstanding. The character, aggression, expressions, concept, energy was superbly done. Tushar outstanding choreography. The lifts were done well and with an impact. Batameez. 10

----------------------
Shaan & Marisha
Preparation: I had no expectations when I entered JDJ, thought I would just enjoy the experience. But I never knew that I would get such good marks from the second performance, so I thought that I can do it. I am very very happy with myself for sticking along for so long.
Dance Form: Tango
Song: Neeyat Kharab Hai
Madhuri: As usual Shaan to watch is like meditating but somewhere I felt you were uncomfortable. The confidence was lacking. The performance was very nice but the wow was missing. 8
Karan: There was a lot of purism in your dance and dance form. But this stage is competitive and you get compared. It wasn't bad but it wasn't mesmerizing. 8
Remo: The leg movements were bang on but the sensuality was missing. There was some problems but otherwise I thought you did fabulous. You are for me the top contender for the trophy. 8
Total Marks: 24/30
Shaan sings Fevicol Se in a qawali style?

Dance Form: Jive
Song: Tumse Mili Nazar

Remo: Jive being performed like this is outstanding. Hats off to Drashti. The energy level was there and all the lifts, kicks, jumps were there. This is it. 10

------------------------------
Karan Patel & Sharmistha
Preparation: From the wildcard I got really good comments but after that my graph went down. I would try to choose concepts using my style and personality.
Dance Form: HipHop
Song: Zara Dil Ko Tham Lo
Karan: Your coolness and hero like quality was there in this performance but there was no uniqueness in there. I found your performance underwhelming. 7
Remo: You tried hip hop which was your forte and your cool attitude would come out. But from the beginning that was not executed properly along with the concept that Sharmistha was trying to portray. The coordination messed up and the half touch was not done properly. Today is not your day. 7
Madhuri: Karan you have the hero like qualities but you have seen the performances that have come to now on JDJ. I think that was pressuring you and I want to see that kind of performances from you. 7
Total Marks: 21/30

They ask Lauren&Punit, Salman& Drashti, and Sonali&Sumanth to come on stage. They have chits to pic the two team leaders. Lauren and Drashti are chosen to be the team leaders.
The two choose their teams.
Lauren's team: Karanvir, Karan Patel, Sonali & Sumanth, Shaan
Drashti's team: Mukti, Sana, Sid
The leaders are responsible for the placement of the people, the songs etc. The marks that they get for the group performance will be added onto their individual marks. The two leaders will have to choose their own dance form which will be portrayed throughout.
