The dance performance of “The Grinch” from the Ams Crew dance group marked the beginning of this year's Final Round. Inspired by a character in the movie “Christmas Thief” called the Grinch - a character orphaned from a young age who is always lonely during Christmas, so has developed a hatred for this holiday. Ams Crew wanted to send a message about love and spread the passion of dancing to all.

The “Sin” group’s contestants from Glee Ams performed an emotional play about love between students. Inspired by the movie “Dreamy Eyes”, Sin recreated the story of a student who falls in love with his schoolmate, only to be shattered when he sees her go to the city to study and then fall in love with another. The emotional sparks of love were satisyingly portrayed through the melodious voice and the rhythmic coordination of the instrumental orchestra.
