The eighteenth semifinalist will be selected among three dance acts voted on by home viewers after they competed in a dance-off during Tuesday night's show, and will be announced during next week's episode on Wednesday, January 12 at 8PM ET/PT on CBS.

The three acts competing for the last spot are Inside the Box, a 25-member group from Pomona, CA; White Tree Fine Art, a coed duo from San Francisco, CA; and Theatrix, an all-male act from Temecula, CA. 

Next week's live Live To Dance broadcast will also feature six of the 18 dance acts competing against each other for two spots -- one chosen by the judges, and one by the votes cast from home viewers -- in the competition's final round. Three such semifinal episodes will number the 18 groups down to the final six acts who will then dance their final performances and compete to win the $500,000 prize in Live To Dance's penultimate episode.

Afterwards, home viewers will vote to determine the competition's winner, and the results will be announced live during Live To Dance's season finale airing on Wednesday, February 9 at 8PM ET/PT.
