Local dancers set to represent Xàbia at European competition in Dijon

A group of dancers from the enDanza Studio in Xàbia, led by their teacher Carmen Villanueva, will travel to France this weekend to take part in the CND Europa Dijon, the European competition organised by the Confédération Nationale de Danse (CND).

The event will take place from 25th to 27th October 2025 at the Palais des Congrès in Dijon, bringing together the best young dancers from across Europe, all of whom have previously qualified through their respective national contests.

Considered one of the continent’s most prestigious dance events, the CND Europa Dijon is a celebration of movement, creativity, and cultural exchange. Each year, the competition attracts elite performers from every corner of Europe, offering them the chance to showcase their talent before a discerning jury and an enthusiastic audience.

But beyond the competition, the event also serves as a hub for learning and inspiration. Participants can enjoy masterclasses, workshops, and collaborative sessions, encouraging artistic exchange and fostering new friendships among Europe’s rising dance stars.

Over the years, the CND Europa Dijon has been a launchpad for many international talents, with former participants now dancing in leading companies or shining as soloists on world stages, a legacy that continues to inspire every new generation of performers.
