Disneyland Paris is Europe’s most visited theme park, known for its world-class attractions, spectacular parades, and the magic of Disney storytelling brought to life.
Held annually at Disneyland Paris, the festival welcomes participants from many different countries and showcases a wide variety of dance styles including ballet, contemporary, jazz, tap, musical theatre, and street dance. Dancers perform choreographed routines in a professional competition environment where they are judged by experienced industry professionals.
As well as competing, selected groups may also have the chance to take part in the special Disney Pre-Parade, performing along Main Street in Disneyland Paris before the main parade. This is an unforgettable opportunity for students to perform in front of an international audience.
To participate in the festival, dance schools must first submit an audition video to the organisers. Successful groups are then invited to attend the festival and prepare their routines for the competition. Additional auditions are required for the Disney Pre-Parade performance.
The festival is a fantastic opportunity for students to perform on an international stage, develop their confidence and performance skills, and connect with dancers from across the world while experiencing the magic of Disneyland Paris.
In our very first year, we began with just 19 students performing a single group routine. Since then, our programme has grown tremendously - we now have 50 students, and in the coming year we will be performing an exciting 15 routines. At our most recent competition in October 2025, we were thrilled to win bronze in the Junior Disney Dance category with our Aladdin routine, while our Barbie routine achieved an impressive silver in the Junior Open Dance category. We are incredibly proud of all our performers and their dedication, progress and achievements.
