On Thursday morning from 10am to 1pm the ballet competition takes place.
Anne Maher,
Director and co founder of Ballet Ireland will judge three age categories (10 to 12, 13 to 15 and 16 to 19).
Before and after each category a free solo or group dance piece will be shown.

And
Dublin Youth Dance Company performing "In these Walls" choreographed by the dancers and mentored by Mariam Ribon.
In the new rehearsal space in Backstage a performing space will be in action called the Free Stage.
All through the day students will perform their own pieces.
At lunch break there is going to be a "surprise stage" where dancers can perform anything they want as long as they have handed Jym a burnt cd of music before 12pm. Come and surprise us:
Any age/any style will be welcomed it just takes courage!
