Parents' FAQ
Does my child need international competition experience to take part?
No. The contest is open to dance groups and schools from any country, with no qualifier and no federation membership, across nine categories and seven age bands. One thing to know: it is a graded contest, not an elimination one. Every participating group receives a ranking and a diploma.
How much stage time do the dancers get, and what do they do the rest of the time?
The group performs one or two numbers, each between two and five minutes, across the festival days of 16 to 19 July. Around that there is a master class, watching groups from around the world, Rimini beach, a full day in San Marino and a tour of old Rimini.
How does the group get to Rimini?
We fly from Tel Aviv to Rome and continue to Rimini on the group's private coach. The same coach stays with us the whole trip, including the drive back to the airport. There is no public transport and no dragging suitcases onto trains.
Who looks after the dancers in the evenings, and how will we know what is going on?
The whole group stays in the same hotel, and dinner is served there for the group together. Evenings run as group activities with the teacher and the Art Travel escort. We open a parents' updates group and post photos and a report from every day, including the competition days.
