​

The 2025 World Children and Youth Dance Competition drew to a successful close on [2025.12.12], evolving into a globally recognized stage where young dance talents can showcase their brilliance. This distinguished event brought together passionate dancers from across the globe, challenging them to demonstrate their dance skills, choreographic creativity, and cross-cultural expression charm in a high-stakes dance contest.

Jury Conducts Rigorous and Transparent Evaluation

The professional jury, consisting of renowned dancers, dance professors, and industry experts, adhered to the principles of rigor, fairness, and transparency throughout multiple evaluation rounds. Judges assessed the entries based on two core dimensions: dance skills (including posture, rhythm, movement control, and emotional delivery) and creative presentation (such as thematic depth, stylistic innovation, and cross-cultural relevance).

• Dance Skills: Evaluations focused on the contestants' command of complex dance techniques, such as stable performance in high-difficulty movement sequences, precise control of rhythm changes, and the ability to enhance dance appeal through the integration of body language and emotion.

• Creative Presentation: Standout entries included reinterpreting classic campus dance routines (e.g., adapting classic campus-themed dances with modern street dance elements) or original campus-themed works (e.g., dances exploring youth growth, campus friendship, or youth social responsibility).

• Cross-Cultural Relevance: Works that combined African traditional dance steps with contemporary dance arrangements, or integrated Asian classical dance postures into modern campus dance creation, showcased exceptional cross-cultural dance integration vision.
