World renowned dancer Derek Hough had the audience of Ellen begging for more when his epic dance battle with Jennifer Lopez quickly turned into a series of show-stopping moves! Seeing that Hough and Lopez are cutting it close to the premiere of their new dance show, World Of Dance, comedian and host Ellen DeGeneres thought it appropriate to let these two judges have a dance session of their own!

Letting Lopez’s twins, Max and Emmie, join the audience, DeGeneres informed the dancers that their task was to recreate the dance titles given to them. As the timer ticked away, the two performers gave incredible renditions to the once “hip” dances that have progressed throughout generations. However, Hough had a few tricks hidden up his sleeve!

Lopez jumpstarted the game with her adorable ballerina impression, passing the spotlight to Hough who had fans rolling with laughter during his “running man” remake. After helping the singer out with her Carlton impression, Hough completely stole the crowd with his hysterical “Single Ladies” routine that was later topped by his unbelievable break dance number! 

The crowd went wild for the series of intricate moves and hilarious bloopers! You can watch the clip below and tell us what you thought. Be sure to keep an eye out for World Of Dance, airing on NBC on May 30.
