INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION FOR YOUNG DANCE PERFORMERS
Following 16 successful national competitions of young dance performers, in the year 2009 we expanded the event to the international level.
The aim of the competition is to promote contemporary dance and discover fresh talents from all over the world.
The 3rd International Competition of Young Dance Performers OPUS 1 – short dance piece 2011 (Celje, Slovenian National Theatre Celje, 11th June 2011 at 7 pm) is open to dancers born between 1987 and 2002:
• Original dance piece/solo dance piece which is both conceived and choreographed by the performing dancer
• Choreography for one or two performing dancers. The piece can be choreographed by one person or authorship can be shared.
The organiser of the competition publishes a topic every year that the young dance performers must use as a basis for their short dance piece.
TOPIC: FUSION
To fuse means to blend, merge, join, unite, melt different elements. This year’s topic wants to ignite fusion, the merging and joining of seemingly incompatible elements – both formal and contextual – into a new form, a new feeling, a new message.
Age groups and lengths of short dance pieces:
Group A1 (born between 2001 and 2002) – maximum 2 minutes;
Group A2 (born between 1999 and 2000) – maximum 2 minutes;
Group B (born between 1995 and 1998) – maximum 2.5 minutes;
Group C (born between 1987 and 1994) – maximum 3.5 minutes
The jury is composed from three renowned international dance experts.
The prizes shall be awarded for the best short dance piece (group A1 and A2: EUR 100, group B: EUR 400, group C: EUR 800); the best concept (group A1 and A2: EUR 50, group B: EUR 200, group C: EUR 400); and the best dance performance (group A: EUR 50, group B: EUR 200, group C: EUR 400).
The deadline for applications is 16th April 2011.
The application form must be sent to: Republic of Slovenia Public Fund for Cultural Activities, for “OPUS 1”, Štefanova 5, PO Box 1699, 1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia, by 31st March 2010 or be in the mail on that day at the latest. Please note that participation will only be possible if a correctly filled out application form that includes a description of the piece’s concept and a video of the short dance piece on a DVD are sent on time.
The jury will select the competitors on the basis of the received videos of the pieces. The selection shall be published on the http://www.jskd.si website by 6th May 2011 at the latest.
The selected competitors shall also be notified individually.
Please make sure that you read the rules and instructions and follow them to the letter.

SEARCH FOR AUSTRALIA’S BEST DANCE CREWS
Calling out all the best dance crews in Australia - the 3rd annual HHI Australian National Hip Hop Dance Championship is returning in March 2011.
The HHI Australian Hip Hop Dance Championship is a competitive dance competition, a first of its kind that attracts international attention and global participation. As the exclusive Australian qualification event to the WORLD HIP HOP DANCE CHAMPIONSHIP in the USA, the Australian championship will present the highest skill level of choreographed old school and new school hip-hop dance styles including popping, locking, KRUMP and break dancing. Crews showcase their ultimate works of skill and choreographed performance in a display of artistry, technique, creativity and showmanship.
Hip Hop Dance is a fusion of street dance disciplines and cultural interpretations that capture the look, attitude, posture, music and elements of the urban environment to make it unique hip hop. Hip hop dance is continuously transforming and redefining itself with each new generation of dancers.
Australia’s Got Talent winners JUSTICE CREW were the HHI Australian National Hip Hop Dance Adult Champions last year and represented Australia proudly. The JUSTICE CREW placed 12th overall in the world in 2009. X-FACTOR semi-finalists KSTAR EVOLUTIONZ represented Australia in the Junior Division two years ago and finished 4th overall and just missed out for a medal placing.
The winning dance groups will receive the opportunity to represent Australia at the World Hip Hop Dance Championship at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas, USA from July 26 – August 31, 2011.
HOOPDREAMZ, a dynamic Australian-based production company will conduct the 3rd annual Hip Hop International (HHI) Australian National Dance Championship.
