'Live to Dance' Finale: Who was the Winner of 'Live to Dance?'

Pint Size Duo D'Angelo and Amanda Take the 'Live to Dance' Title

Wednesday night on CBS' "Live To Dance", it was time to find out which dance act viewers chose as the Best Dance Act in America and crown the winner of the half million dollar prize.

Paula Abdul and judges Kimberly Wyatt and Travis Payne were downright giddy as they gushed over their six dance act finds. Wyatt said she was glad the final decision was up to America. The final 6 acts were:

Twitch

White Tree Fine Art

The Vibe

Kendall Glover

Dance Town Chaos

D'Angelo and Amanda

But in the end, one thing was for certain: the large ensemble acts didn't have a chance in this competition. Perhaps because some of them had too much going on- the Vibe had 38 people in their act, making their performances almost chaotic to watch at times.

The Top 3 acts that American voted for had two dancers maximum. White Tree Fine Art, the husband and wife ballet duo, was the first pair voted into the Top 3.

They were followed by pint size pair, D'Angelo and Amand, the Miami duo that can salsa like nobody's business.

Finally, soloist Kendall Glover, an 11-year old whirlwind who works her solo magic on the dance floor, was in the Top 3.

All 6 dance acts performed a group dance routine that included a medley of just about every song that has the word "dance" in it.

And then it was time for the nail biter announcement: D'Angelo and Amanda were crowned the winners of 'Live to Dance'. This 10 and 11 year old real life couple will split the $500,000 grand prize.

And since Amanda already has them getting married by age 24, looks like they will have plenty of dough to throw a lavish wedding.

    I'm sorry. This show left a lot to be desired. To compare it to DWTS or So. You Think you can dance. It comes in 3rd place.So you think you can dance is the best.Both in talent and quality of judging.

    I thought that America choose safely. For me it was a toss up between Twitch and Dance Town Chaos. D'Angelo and Amanda were fantastic dancers; but Best Dance Act in America - no.
