The 6th Eurovision Young Dancers Competition final was held in the Palais de Beaulieu in Lausanne, Switzerland on June 6, 1995.
Like in 1993, 15 countries took part, including 2 new participants (Russia and Hungary). Denmark and Estonia withdrew from the contest. However, the Danish broadcaster DR broadcast the event. Romania and Bulgaria did it as well.[1]
The Final was held on Tuesday 6 June 1995, while the semi-final (where the finalists were chosen) took place on Saturday 3 June 1995[1] in the Théâtre de Beaulieu as well. Like in the previous contests, each country could participate with one or two dancers, male or female, not older than 19, that could perform one or two different dances.
Spain, with Jesús Pastor Sahuquillo and Ruth Miró Salvador, won the Contest for 4th time (3rd in a row).
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]
