About us
Based in Croatia, we are an organization that, among other things, is involved in the organization of dance competitions.
Our goal was to create a competition where dancers of all age groups will have the opportunity to showcase their talent and enjoy one of the scholarships we give to progress and to perfect their techniques.
In addition, we promote a friendly atmosphere, equality and cohesion.
What differentiates the Island Dance Competition from other competitions is our goal to promote education at all levels from beginner to professional.
Best dancers, picked by our professional judges, are given the chance to full and part scholarships at dance schools such, Vivo Ballet in Italy, Manhattan Dance Project in USA, VS Dance Academy-GOLDY in Bulgaria and many more.
History of Competition
In January 2014, a vision came to life with the very first Malinska Dance Cup, bringing together 300 passionate dancers and marking the beginning of an incredible journey.
Building on this momentum, four IDC winter competitions followed, each held in November, steadily growing a vibrant and dedicated dance community.
In June 2017, a new chapter began with the launch of the first summer edition of the Island Dance Competition—an event that quickly captured hearts and proved to be a remarkable success.
Just one year later, in June 2018, the competition expanded beyond borders, welcoming 1,050 dancers from 10 countries: Austria, Bulgaria, Kosovo, Serbia, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Romania, and Croatia—uniting cultures through the universal language of dance.
By June 2025, this once small event had evolved into a true international celebration, gathering 2,200 dancers from across Europe, all sharing the same passion, energy, and love for dance.
