Each of the four captains occupies a street, and dancers need to choose one of them to perform street dance. Only with the approval of the captain can they get a towel and successfully advance. There are a total of 100 promotion places (the promotion places may be slightly different in different seasons).[5]

Stage 2: 100 to 49

Dancers perform their own works in the order of drawing lots, and the captain will vote; if they get all the votes, they will be promoted directly; if they get 0 votes (the rules are slightly different in different seasons, some seasons are 0 votes Or 1 vote) they will be eliminated directly; the rest will enter the undetermined area, and the rest of the players can challenge. If no one refuses to accept the challenge, the dancer will advance directly; if anyone refuses to accept the challenge, the challenger needs to choose call out or battle (call out is an impromptu performance based on the performer's music, and the battle is a one-on-one impromptu duel for two people; different Season rules are slightly different, some seasons may only have one of call out or battle); if multiple dancers refuse to accept the challenge, a challenger will be selected by spinning the bottle; the captain will still carry out the challenge if they refuse to accept the challenge Voting, the one with the most votes wins; if there is a tie, the penalty will be slightly different in different seasons, some seasons are an extra round of battle, some seasons are considered to be won by the challenger, and some seasons are considered to be the winner of the challenger; if If the challenger fails, he will lose the opportunity to show his personal performance and be eliminated directly.

The winner will be voted by the captain. The loser enters the end of the team and waits for the fight; the top three players in points within the specified time advance, and if someone beats all the players in a row or accumulates the specified points (usually the number of participants in the tiebreaker is reduced by one), they will advance directly.[7]

Stage 4: The Teams Are Grouped

A two-way selection method is adopted in the robbery battle. The room of four dancers is opened at a time, and each captain can chat with the four, but only one favorite player can be selected among the four.

One becomes the top four), and enters the battle dance stage of the team; the team battle dance needs to be completed by the top four dancers and their dancers together, and the winner enters the final stage of disobedience. The ultimate disobedience part is a one-on-one dance, a total of 25 rounds, divided into five rounds to complete, and the number of rounds in each round is 7, 6, 5, 4, and 3 rounds; after each round, the host will ask the dancers about their clothes.
