The Eurovision Young Dancers 2015 was the fourteenth edition of the Eurovision Young Dancers competition. The final was held in the New Theatre in Plzeň, Czech Republic on 19 June 2015. This was the first time that the Czech national broadcaster, Česká televize (ČT), had organised a Eurovision event. The event is aimed at young dancers aged between 16 and 21, competing in modern dances, be it solo or in couples, as long as they were not professionally engaged. Ten countries participated in the 2015 contest; with Albania and Malta making their début; Slovakia returning after an eighteen-year break; and Armenia, Belarus, and Ukraine deciding not to participate.

Viktoria Nowak of Poland won the contest, with Staša Tušar of Slovenia placing second (runner-up).

New Theatre, Plzeň. Venue for 2015.

On 24 April 2014, the Czech city of Plzeň, was selected as the host city for the 2015 edition of the biennial Eurovision Young Dancers.[1][2] The reasons behind this decision was to coincide the Young Dancers event alongside the European Capital of Culture, of which the city were organisers of a series of cultural events with a strong European dimension.[2][3]

In November 2014, it was announced that the host broadcaster for the Czech Republic, Česká televize (ČT), had selected the New Theatre as the venue for the contest.[4][5] The building first opened on 1 September 2014, showcasing a performance of Bedřich Smetana's The Bartered Bride,[6] and has "state of the art" technology for a theatre of its kind.[5] The 2015 Eurovision Young Dancers took place on 19 June 2015.[7]

Format

The format consisted of dancers who were non-professional and between the ages of 16–21, competing in a performance of dance routines of their choice, which they had prepared in advance of the competition. All of the acts then took part in a choreographed group dance during 'Young Dancers Week'.[8]

Presenters

On 10 March 2015, host broadcaster ČT, announced that Libor Bouček [cs] had been chosen to host the 2015 edition.[9] Bouček, who is a well-known television presenter, speaks fluent Czech and English, and has experience with hosting live events, with his most recent being the 2014 European Athletics Championships. Česká televize, stated that his repertoire is why they decided to choose him to host the contest.[9] Cameron McMillan, head choreographer and 2013 jury panel member, presented the backstage segments during the show.

Jury panel

Jury members of a professional aspect and representing the elements of ballet, contemporary, and modern dancing styles, score each of the competing individual and group dance routines. Once all the jury votes had been counted, the two participants which received the highest total of points progress to a final round. The final round consisted of a 90-second 'dual', where each of the finalists performed a 45-second random dance-off routine. The overall winner upon completion of the final dances was chosen by the professional jury members.[8] The jury members were as follows:[10]

Participating countries

The contest was limited to a maximum of fourteen countries, however, only ten countries confirmed their participation.[11] Of the ten countries participating, Albania and Malta made their début; Slovakia returned after last competing at the Eurovision Young Dancers 1997. Armenia, Belarus, and Ukraine withdrew.[12]
