The Dance House in Stockholm, Sweden, was the host venue for the 1993 edition of the Eurovision Young Dancers.[2]

Format[edit]

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'.[4]

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

As in 1991, the interval featured a documentary about the dancers that did not make it to the final.[2]
