Parents' FAQ
Is this a competition? What if the group does not place?
It is not a competition. There are no cuts and no ranking, the groups perform on an open-air stage in front of an international audience and that is the experience. If you are after medals and titles, we will say honestly that this is not the right event.
Where do the kids sleep and what do they eat?
One hotel in Lido di Jesolo for the whole stay, rooms of three to four dancers with a private bathroom. Breakfast and dinner at the hotel every day. Lunches are eaten along the way and are not included.
The festival runs Friday to Monday. Are there performances on Saturday too?
Yes, the festival days include Saturday. We want you to know that up front and not at the last minute. Every family decides what suits it, and we are available for any question before registration.
Can a parent join the trip?
Yes. The festival also accepts non-performing participants, so parents can be added to the same package and the same hotel. Tell us early, since the number of rooms at the hotel is limited.
