Bucharest is a booming city with many large infrastructure projects changing the old face of the city. Known in the past as "The Little Paris," Bucharest has changed a lot lately, and today it has become a very interesting mix of old historic buildings and new attractions that tourist from all over the world come to see.
In 2013, Dance World Cup was hosted by the City of Brighton. This was our largest event to date with 3,000 young dancers taking part and having the opportunity to perform on the Brighton Dome Concert Hall stage.
Our opening ceremony this year included performances from professionals within the English industry and a highlight were routines performed by Unity UK.
All of the participants of Dance World Cup 2013 showed an incredibly high standard of dance and each participant excelled on the day and we welcomed Spain for the very first time to the competition. The competition was also attended by participants from Malaysia, South Africa, Sri Lanka and our new friends from India.
Before we arrived in Villach in June 2012 our participants were unaware of the sheer beauty that awaited them for their stay in this picturesque location.
The Congress Centre Villach was the perfect venue for Dance World Cup the 2,000 participants enjoyed performing on a wonderful stage and the surrounding areas were just fabulous for the competitors to practice. One of our memories is of watching the Malaysians rehearsing along the riverbank before breakfast and before their performance. The city were incredibly welcoming to the international dancers and it was a week of dance that we will never forget.
In June 2011 1,800 participants descended upon the Disneyland Paris Resort to take part in Dance World Cup 2011.
One of Dance World Cup’s most memorable events took place that year with 1,200 children performing in the main Disneyland Park to a specially choreographed routine for Dance World Cup. This was also the competition where our now recognisable theme tune was first played to thousands.
This competition really signalled the arrival of Dance World Cup and the event alerted many more to what Dance World Cup is trying to achieve by bringing all the children together through the celebration of Dance.
In 2010 nearly 1,000 children and young adults participated in Dance World Cup in Sardinia, Italy. This beautiful Island welcomed nationalities from Australia and Canada. The competition was held in two great theatres, one in particular, Porto Rotondo which was an outdoor amphitheatre. With the incredibly warm climate the participants had the opportunity to perform outside underneath the stars each evening.
Sardinia were an incredibly welcome host for Dance World Cup and their participants, it was a very memorable week.
In 2009, Dance World Cup was hosted in Jersey, Channel Islands. This was the first time the event had been held in Great Britain and we welcomed participants from as far away as Australia to the event.
With over 800 dancers participating in the competition this was an incredible cultural event for Dance and the Island. Jersey had never witnessed so many artistic performances from young dancers and it was truly memorable for all those involved.
The sun shone and all the participants had an amazing week making new friends at Dance World Cup. Many Europeans still comment on how much they enjoyed Dance World Cup 2009.
