HISTORY OF IDO WORLD TAP DANCE

30 years of IDO World Tap dance Championships

And this was new in 2014

It is our philosophy providing a proper “stage” to “our” highly skilled and creative tap dancers to show their talent and - most important - to become even better by competing with the other excellent tap dancers.

Everybody who enrolled into the IDO World Tap dance Championships has been qualified as the best in her/his country at the national qualifying events. This means all participants are excellent. And most participants want to enter the next round - and hopefully the Finals. This is the goal, their dream. Mostly even the Semi-finales are on such a high standard, that you also need a bit of luck to get enough crosses from the judges to enter the Finals. Therefore we wanted to present our dancers in the Finals as VIPs, the “best of the best”: Solos Girls and Boys Before the Finals start, we introduce the top Final Solos on a dark stage with each dancer in a bright spotlight - to introduce her/him to the audience performing just a couple of beats and poses. It brings everybody closer to each other - the dancers to the audience and the audience gets the dancers better to know. The spotlight is travelling from one to the next dancer - one by one. After the last dancers has been presented the stage gets bright again and the Finals begin.
