The dancers find their inner beat and take it to the street during the hip-hop themed week an all-new episode of "Dance Your Ass Off" airing Monday, July 5 at 10pm ET/PT on Oxygen.  This week, contestants prepare to wage war on each other as they go to battle during their stage performances. 

The contestants need to get down and dirty in order to win, but they must first conquer their emotional and physical obstacles. Feeling injured, ill, and exhausted the contestants need to push through in order to impress the judges. This week's guest judge is hip-hop master, dancer/choreographer, Lil C, who is best known for his work on So You Think You Can Dance and for inventing the dance style known as krumping.  Also, on Monday, July 5 at 9:30pm ET/PT, log on to WWW.OXYGENLIVE.COM as Kiki dishes about hip hop week as she hosts a live chat for the East Coast, while Latoya hosts on the West Coast.

Love continues to blossom between Kiki and Corey as they continue to support each other both in the gym and on the dance floor.  The couple hopes to make it to the finale together, but they know that only their dancing and weight loss can determine their fate.  Meanwhile, things get tense in the house when the dancers question Stephanie's eating habits.  A frustrated and defensive Stephanie is unable to realize that the other contestants are only looking out for her best interest. 

Additionally, a rivalry is reborn when Brianna and Kiki face off again on stage and Erica is not willing to back down against the high scoring Latoya. The hip-hop battles leave the judges wanting more and one contestant's hard work pays off resulting in the most dramatic weight loss all season!  Who will throw down and who will be thrown out?
