Eurovision Young Dancers

The Eurovision Young Dancers is a biennial dance showcase broadcast on television throughout Europe. Since 1985, using a format similar to the Eurovision Song Contest, every country that is a member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has had the opportunity to send a dance act to compete for the title of "Eurovision Young Dancer". The act can be either a solo act or a dance couple, and all contestants must be between the ages of 15 and 21 years. The winner is chosen by television viewers across the EBU through a real-time, electronic and onscreen voting mechanism.

In 2003, the competition awarded separate prizes for classical and contemporary dance.

The 2007 edition of the contest did not take place as the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has introduced a new teleshow the "Eurovision Dance Contest". The status of future editions is currently unknown.
