The finalists then took turns to perform their three-minute self choreographed solo routine. They were judged based on technical ability, artistic interpretation and presentation.

The panel of judges were Cadbury Confectionary Malaysia managing director Blair Sailes, Carat Interactive general manager David Ho, Salina & Associates chief executive officer Salina Yeop Junior, McCann-Erickson executive creative director Lee Szu Hung and Viva Vertical consultant and trainer Vivian Lea.
