The Eurovision Young Dancers 2011 was the twelfth edition of the Eurovision Young Dancers, held at the Dance House in Oslo, Norway on 24 June 2011.[1] Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK), dancers from ten countries participated in the televised final. Croatia and Kosovo made their début while Germany and Portugal returned. Seven countries that took part in the previous edition decided not to participate.[1] This was the first edition to be successfully held since 2005, following cancellations in 2009 and 2007.
The event was aimed at young dancers aged between 15 and 21, competing in modern dances, be it solo or in couples, as long as they were not professionally engaged.[1] Daniel Sarr of Norway won the contest, with Petra Zupančić of Slovenia placing second (runner-up).[2]
Location
[edit]
Dansens Hus (English: Dance House) in Oslo, Norway was the host venue for the 2011 edition of the Eurovision Young Dancers.[1]
Format
[edit]The format is revamped in 2011 to include a 'final duel' round, with the semi-finals removed due to the low number of participating countries.[3] The televised prime time show 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'.[4]
Presenters

The overall winner upon completion of the final dances is chosen by the professional jury members.[4]
