We also get some good and bad news.
The bad news: Joshua is no longer an all-star/mentor this season.
Add to their combo some choreography from Chris Scott and the first routine is magic.

Its no wonder the judges give the routine a standing ovation.
The routine definitely features the choreographers trademark intricacy and hard-hitting moves.
And whats more, Shaeden actually overpowers his mentor in many moments.
Team Sasha: Hot damn, you guys.
Mini-Sasha, I mean Jordan, could win it all.
Theres a reason Sasha chose this girl to mentor.
Theyre very similar in their movements and their passion.
Jordan knows who shes dancing for and she puts everything she has into every single step.
I feel like our country needs this right now, he says.
Her solo: Perfection.
NEXT: Is JT a dark-horse finalist?
Team Gaby: Another mini-me in the making, Emma is definitely a fantastic dancer for Gaby to mentor.
Their tap number is fun and extremely difficult, but they pull it off with class.
Team Paul: I have something to confess.
Ruby is fiery, for sure, and her personality is definitely ridiculously entertaining.
I just want more from this and from her solo.
She and Comfort tackle a hard-hitting Luther Brown routine with no story.
Its all about just cutting loose, and thats exactly what they do.
Her and Jonathans salsa routine is technically proficient and entertaining, but once again Im left wanting more.
Team Robert: I get it now, guys.
I get why Robert chose JT as his finalist this season.
(Were a long way from the bow tie!)
Thank goodness we had this number, though, because JTs solo wasnt quite up to snuff.
The group number to end the first live show is undoubtedly awesome, but enough with my nonsense opinions.
I cant wait to see what you guys thought of the kids first routines!
