World of Dance has crowned another winner, and it's a first for the dance competition series, which just wrapped Season 4—a group of contemporary dancers.

MDC 3—teenagers Madison Smith, Emma Mather, and Diego Pasillas—were the only Junior Division act to compete in the finals (which aired August 12), beating out Oxygen, Jefferson y Adrianita, and Geometrie Variable to take home the victory and be crowned "Best in the World." "It's almost like a dream come true," Pasillas tells TV Insider.

Being the only Juniors competing "was definitely very nerve-racking," Smith adds. "We had to pull up a lot and rehearse as hard as we could." For the resulting performance (below), they made sure to take all the notes from the judges into consideration before finalizing the choreography. "We all wanted to make sure we had the emotion [alongside] the cool tricks [as well] because we are known as the storytellers of the show," Mather explains.
