Dance Shows & Competitions

In 2017, Eva Igo was the winner of the ‘Hall of Fame Dance Challenge’ in St. Paul, Minnesota, where her solo to Bishop Briggs’s ‘River’ achieved a perfect score. She became the first solo dancer in 12 years to accomplish this feat.

Igo was a guest in an episode of the third season of the show ‘Dance Moms,’ titled ‘Camouflaged Maneuvers.’ She performed and won against the ‘Abby Lee Dance Company.’ She was the highest scorer in the competition and surpassed Maddie Ziegler.

Igo posted her dance videos regularly on ‘YouTube’ on her ‘Instagram’ account. In 2008, she released her first solo on ‘Think Pink’. When the producers and cast director of the reality show ‘World of Dance’ saw her solo ‘It’s a Man’s World’ on ‘YouTube,’ she was asked to appear for the auditions of the show. Igo went to Chicago for the auditions and qualified with an average score of 88.

She won the ‘Divisional Final’ of the show (beating Diana Pombo), with a score of 96.7. Igo also won the ‘Junior Division Championship’ of the competition. However, during the ‘World Finale’ on August 8, 2017, she acquired the second place, behind French dancers ‘Les Twins.’ Though she scored an average of 93.7, the winners scored 93.8. She thus lost the championship by a minor fraction.

In 2017, Igo was part of the ‘World of Dance Live.’ She toured the US and Canada with the company. She got a chance to perform at the ‘VidCon’ in Orange County, Canada.

In 2018, Igo returned to the second season of the ‘World of Dance.’ She was eliminated during the duals round of the dance reality show and lost to first-time competitors Avery and Marcus. Although Igo did not compete in the third season of the show, she made an appearance in it.

In 2018, Igo made her acting debut with the TV series ‘AXI: Avengers of Extreme Illusions.’ She made her film debut with the main role of ‘Evena’ in director Sean Welling’s 2019 science-fiction film ‘The Last Astronaut.’

Igo was awarded the ‘Industry Dance Award for Most Fierce Dancer under 18’ in 2018. She earned a nomination for the ‘E!’ ‘People’s Choice Award’ in the category ‘Competition Contestant of 2018.’

Along with her team, Igo participated in the eleventh season of the show ‘America’s Got Talent.’ In 2017, she was part of Jennifer Lopez’s music video ‘Amor Amor Amor.’ She is working on a clothes line for dancers.
