Jacksun Fryer and Deeya Sharma will be returning to compete again on “World of Dance” season 4.

Fryer and Sharma both joined the dancing competition last year and they will be teaming up this time for their second shot at winning the coveted $1 million prize.

Fryer, 17, appeared on the previous season as part of the duo Funkanometry. Meanwhile, Sharma performed with her group Minibots.

Both were absorbed into Gigabots that also includes Fryer’s former partner Carlow Rush.

Sharma’s Minibots made it to the qualifiers round but was eliminated in Round 1. Meanwhile, Sun and Rush’s Funkanometry made it to three rounds out of five.

Fryer and Sharma both admitted that their experience last year helped them prepare for “World of Dance” Season 4.

“I feel like I got all the super scary nerves out of the way and this time I still got nervous, but it wasn’t as bad as the first time,” Sharma said.

“I feel like I knew how many people were going to be there and what the love and support was already going to feel like, so I feel like that helped a lot.”

Fryer had the same perspective as Sharma. According to him, his second round isn’t as bad as his first appearance on the show.

“Going a second time we knew what had to happen. We knew the focus it takes,” Fryer said.

“Because the first time was kind of like a guess. It’s something brand new and we don’t really know. But the second time, for Season 4, we were prepared.”

Fryer and Sharma will be appearing in the current season as members of Gigabots. According to Fryer, the group members have their specialties and they give spaces to highlight each dancer's specialties.

“World of Dance” Season 4 will feature 34 new acts and there are new twists on the programming. Among the changes is the callback vote during the auditions where judges can vote for a yes, no, or callback to determine if the performer will be given a chance to perform again.

Jennifer Lopez, Ne-Yo and Derek Hough will be returning on the show as judges. Scott Evans will also join them to host the series.

“World of Dance” Season 4 is set to premiere on May 26 on NBC at 10 p.m. ET/PT.
