EUROVISION YOUNG DANCERS COVERAGE
The oikotimes.com team has the pleasure to announce that as of next year we will also follow the project of Eurovision Young Dancers. The decision made after the final cancellation of Eurovision Dance Contest the last edition of which took place in Glasgow in 2008 where oikotimes received more than 300,000 page views during the EDC weekly coverage. The revamped edition of Eurovision Young Dancers took place this year in Norway.
The Eurovision Young Dancers (EYD) is a biennial dance showcase broadcast on television throughout Europe. Since 1985, using a format similar to the Eurovision Song Contest, every country that is a member of the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) has had the opportunity to send a dance act to compete for the title of “Eurovision Young Dancer”. The act can be either a solo act or a dance couple, and all contestants must be between the ages of 15 and 21 years and not professionally engaged. The winner is chosen by television viewers across the EBU through a real-time, electronic and onscreen voting mechanism.
