Auckland dance crew The Bradas left Ne-Yo, Derek Hough AND Jennifer Lopez speechless after a breathtaking performance on the US television show, World of Dance.

Rocking white and black suits with red shoes, the six-man hip-hop crew won a dance-off with their incredible routine which featured Māori-inspired moves - including a pūkana.

Lopez raved about the complexity of the performance, saying: "This was a perfect balance of those insane moments where everyone is at the edge of their seat. I still can't get over catching the handkerchief in the mid-flip."

"You are some of the best athletes and LeBron James couldn't do what you do."

"It was amazing, great job guys."

Co-judge Derek Hough added: "So many things could have gone wrong with all the different props, the handkerchief out the sleeve. You had so many tricks up your sleeve. Ah, it was so good. I love the burn, a little tap moment in there."
