Format
The general concept of the competition is similar to the Eurovision song contest, except that it is not singers who compete, but ballroom dancers. Each couple representing their country should demonstrate two and a half minute dances: one from the Balinese program (Argentine tango, cha cha, foxtrot, jive, paso doble, quickstep, rumba, salsa, samba, tango, Viennese waltz, waltz) and one dance free style, which encourages the use of national traits and styles. The rights to the music used must be cleared for use at Eurovision. [1] .
