Wandance Episode 6: Kaboku and Wanda shine at the National Dance Competition

In Wandance Episode 6, the dance battles continue in this showcase performance, as Kaboku and Wanda are placed on the big stage for their first "major" dance competition as a duo. The episode focused on the Ichirin High School dance club's group routine.

The episode ends with the two of them making choreography for a duet as first-year students. Kaboku was excited, nervous, and self-doubting; however, he successfully finished the solo portion of the routine before he joined Wanda for the rest of the rather easy routine.

This recent dance anime that is on the radar for many continues to delight and entertain everyone. Wandance episode six premiered on November 12, 2025, on the IMAnimationW programming block on TV Asahi, and slowly gained popularity during its ongoing release.

The Competition Heats Up

Wandance Episode 6 features a professional judge named Assay, who is a skilled dancer and evaluates the competitors with a critical eye. The episode sets up a dramatic competition, as several schools get ready to compete. Throughout the episode, Kaboku feels out of his depth given all the seasoned dancers, especially when he is uncomfortable greeting Assay with his stutter.

The competition undercurrent grows as the episode progresses. Although the atmosphere appears competitive, Wanda always stands up for Kaboku, even if it seems other competitors aren't listing a derogatory competitor. This protective mantra symbolizes their growing relationship that is not simply based on being dance partners.

A Performance to Remember in Wandance Episode 6

The heart of Wandance Episode 6 is the stage performance by Ichirin High. There is a surprise moment where Kaboku gets to perform a solo, which illustrates how far he has come since joining the dance club. His movements captivate even the professional judges, particularly Assay, who recognizes genuine passion in his dancing.

Wanda enters and changes the performance dynamic. At this point, you get to see Wanda shine. The dynamic changes as she joins Kaboku for their duet together.

The pair's 'signature slide' is expertly completed, although we see Kaboku barely catch himself from losing his balance. But, within the performance, Wanda owns the moment and creates the illusion that the lost balance was part of the choreography.

Character Development Shines

In Wandance Episode 6, the characters' emotional connection is a focal point. Kaboku takes note of Wanda's anxiety about performing. She keeps slapping her bare feet down on the floor, and he is trying to encourage her. Kaboku, even though he is not able to put any of his thoughts into words, Wanda can fully understand him.

This wordless communication demonstrates their extraordinary synchronization. Iori, the person who arranged the music for their show, remarks that they look natural as dancers. It's in this episode that Iori's work behind the scenes ensures that the team delivers a successful performance.

Trending

The choreography in this episode, combined with the previous episodes that provided a foundation, makes this climax truly powerful. The bright stage lights create an extra layer to kick up the quality of the CGI animation during the dance scenes.

Wandance Episode 6 ends without providing an outcome of the competition, leaving viewers to await the next episode. The episode heightens the tension and provides a satisfying closure in the form of the growth of the main characters. Kaboku has gone from a shy and unsure beginner to a confident performer with the confidence to own the big stage on a national level.
