◄1999 2001 2003►

The 9th Eurovision Young Dancers Competition was held at the Linbury Studio Theatre of the Royal Opera House in London, United Kingdom between June 18 and June 23, 2001.

In the 2001 edition, 17 countries took part, including Austria and Estonia (who returned to the contest) and the newcomers Ukraine and Ireland (the Irish broadcaster RTÉ had broadcast the event in the past as well). Three countries withdrew this year: Spain, Hungary and France.

Each country could send one or two performers, male and female, not older than 20, who could perform one or two dances. The dancers could choose between classical and contemporary dance.

Format

The format consists of dancers who are non-professional and between the ages of 16–21, competing in a performance of dance routines of their choice, which they have prepared in advance of the competition. All of the acts then take part in a choreographed group dance during 'Young Dancers Week'.[2]

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 have been counted, the two participants which received the highest total of points progress to a final round. The final round consists of a 90-second 'dual', were each of the finalists perform a 45-second random dance-off routine. The overall winner upon completion of the final dances is chosen by the professional jury members.[2]
