The historically first Czech international dance competition is intended for students of dance conservatories and professional ballet schools from all over Europe from the age of 12 until graduation. The goal of the competition is to become a platform for discovering, supporting and promoting the artistic potential of each participant far beyond the scope of the competition itself. The European Dance Competition Brno 2023 will take place on 27-29 June 2023 in the Janáček Theater.
The new ambitious project European Dance Competition Brno 2023 is related to the rich history of the NdB Ballet's co-organization of Czech, Czechoslovakian and historically first international ballet competitions at the National Theater Brno. Ballet NdB decided to change the traditional model of ballet competition and decided to organize an international competition in cooperation with the creative production company Art 4People and the Brno ballet school Filiánek.
The focus of the competition is broader and enables the expansion of the competition spectrum by purely contemporary forms of dance without the obligation to demonstrate extraordinary skills in classical dance technique. This approach is a fundamental change, allowing even young dancers focused mainly on contemporary dance to participate in the competition. The international jury will evaluate young dancers in three competition categories on three competition days, when the second and third rounds will be open to the public. Just like our project Ballet NdB 2, it is also an international dance competition focused on the future of the artistic dance field and targeted at young dancers. It is therefore no surprise that the main prize of the competition is an engagement with Ballet NdB 2. Come and support young talents and become their first enthusiastic audience.
