Dancers representing ten countries participated in the televised final. Croatia and Kosovo made their début while Germany and Portugal returned.

The event was aimed at young dancers aged between 15 and 21, competing in modern dances, be it solo or in couples, as long as they were not professionally engaged.

The winner was Daniel Sarr representing Norway, and Petra Zupančić representing Slovenia was the runner-up.[1]

Format

The format was revamped in 2011 to include a 'final duel' round, with the semi-finals removed due to the low number of participating countries.[3] The televised prime time show 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'.[4]

Presenters

Erik Solbakken was the host of the 2011 contest. Solbakken previously hosted the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Oslo, alongside Haddy Jatou N'jie and Nadia Hasnaoui.[5]
