Each dancer beforehand pointed out a dancer from an opposing team that they can beat in a one-on-one dance battle. The chosen dancer is given a "No Respect" Sticker for each time they are chosen.

* The named dancer goes first while the pointed out dancer goes second.
* At the end of the battle, the Fight Judges will determine the winner.
* Fight Judges can request a rematch when no winner can be decided. A rematch will take place if two or more judges cannot decide a winner or in the case of a 1:1 tie and the third judge cannot choose a winner. In the rematch, both dancers dance at the same time for 40 seconds.
* The winning dancer gives a NO RESPECT sticker of their respective crew color to the losing team, which is stuck on their crew fist.
* The team with the most losses are labeled as the NO RESPECT Crew.

Round two consists of two-on-two battles. Round three consists of five-on-five crew battles. The rules for these rounds are the same as the one-on-one dance battles except if a rematch is called, it will only be a one-on-one battles with one member from each duo or crew.

Mission 2: "Class"

Each crew leader chooses seven members including themselves to be split into five ranks. Each rank will work together to create a dance video. Each rank will only have one main dancer which will be chosen by the judges. The rest will be back-up dancers in the video. Each dancer in a rank will create a short choreography which will be voted on by the members of their rank. The chosen choreography will be the one used to determine the main dancer.
