From the 2025 edition, an important protocol has been formalized between EDO & WDO, establishing that the majority European WDO titles will be included in the week of “The European Open”.

While all “The European Open” Competitions will be subject to and respect the EDO rules, for all European WDO titles, the rules on the website www.worlddanceorganisation.com must be respected, in fact for the WDO titles there is an obligation to have a WDO license for both competitors and judges valid for the current year.

Under 16 (not 16 years old at the time of the competition)
Over 16 (16 years old at the time of the competition)

Clothing and programs are open in the open categories from U14 and up, while U8, U10, U12 have mandatory programs and mandatory uniform.
