The championship will be held at the State Song Theater named after Rashid Behbudov in various categories jointly by the Modern and Social Dance Association of Azerbaijan and the Union of Azerbaijani Youth.
According to the President of the Modern and Social Dance Association Aziz Azizov, first children, then juniors and adults will perform at the championship. The competition will conclude with a street dance.
There will be the following dance categories at the Azerbaijan Dance Championship: Baby Show 1 and 2, Modern, Couple Show Dance, Dance Show, Folklore or the Dances of World Nations (Oriental dance), Ethnic Dances and Hip-Hop.
"Recently we were in Tbilisi and took part in the Georgian dance olympiad. Although we participated there with just a few dancers, none of them left without medals. I am proud of our dancers. A week after the Azerbaijan championship, we are leaving for Moscow to participate at the International Dance Olympiad with a new team. I am sure that we will not come back with empty hands," Azizov said.
