After a season packed with drama, discipline, and jaw-dropping dance moments, Mad House Season 2 ended on an emotional high that left fans inspired, teary-eyed, and ready for more. The finale episode, which aired on Brandon TV (BTV), was a moving tribute to perseverance and passion — and the "Sexy Six" finalists proved exactly why they made it to the end.


Donovyn Diaz, Devin Crews, Savoy Bailey, Haley Huelsman, Carlos Laboy, and Dakayla Wilson all delivered powerful solo performances and group routines that showcased not just their talent but their resilience. Each finalist read heartfelt letters they had written to themselves earlier in the season, revealing personal stories that added depth to every move they made onstage.

Savoy opened up about a time when she gave up on dance altogether, but found her spark again through acting — a journey that brought her full circle back to performing. Her heels solo was raw, real, and packed with emotional grit.

Donovyn shared a touching tribute to his late aunt, who had always encouraged him to keep going no matter what. His performance was not only technically strong but carried the weight of a dream realized in her honor.

Haley’s solo was a standout moment of the night — a beautiful contemporary piece dedicated to her love for Jesus. It was graceful, expressive, and left the judges speechless.

Devin brought energy and originality, and Carlos stunned with his fluidity and stage presence. Dakayla — who has been a fan favorite all season — once again proved she’s a force, not just a dancer. She was officially named the Dance Captain of the House by mentor and house mother Abby Lee Miller and already received her golden ticket: a confirmed return for Mad House Season 3.

But the biggest surprise? Job offers. At the end of the finale, each finalist was rewarded with an opportunity that could change their life.


  • Donovyn was invited to join America’s Top Choreographer, a new show from Richy Jackson coming to BTV, as a dancer.

  • Haley and Dakayla were tapped by Richy Jackson himself to join America’s Top Choreographer as choreographers — a huge honor and testament to their leadership and creativity.

  • Devin scored an invite from Calypso Jete to perform with her at World Pride Fest, a massive international stage.

  • Carlos and Savoy were invited to dance for a project crafted by the iconic Jamal Josef.

It was a finale that celebrated not just the culmination of a season, but the launch of six incredible careers. If Season 2 was any indication, Mad House is not just a reality competition — it's a life-changing platform.
