About us

The idea behind International Dance Competition (IDC) was born in 2013, when we began our journey into the world of dance by organizing our very first competition in Malinska, on the beautiful island of Krk, Croatia. Originally known as Island Dance Competition, IDC was founded on a simple but powerful vision: to bring dancers together and inspire them to take their next steps through their shared passion for dance.

From the very beginning, our mission has been to create an environment where dancers can express themselves, showcase their talent, and have their hard work and dedication recognized and rewarded. We believe that dance is more than just a performance: it is a way to connect people, build confidence, encourage creativity, and open doors to new opportunities.

Over the years, we have continuously worked to expand our vision by building partnerships with renowned dance schools and professionals, providing dancers with opportunities for further education, professional development, and growth. We are committed to creating a platform where talent meets opportunity and where every dancer is encouraged to reach their full potential.

One of the highlights of our journey was our collaboration with Millennium Dance Complex in Los Angeles and its founder, AnnMarie Hudson, which allowed us to strengthen our international connections and bring new educational opportunities to our dance community.

Today, IDC continues to grow with the same passion and purpose that inspired us in 2013. Our goal remains to connect dancers from different backgrounds, celebrate their achievements, and create meaningful experiences that inspire the next generation of dance artists.

Today, our festivals and competitions have expanded beyond Croatia to Austria and Hungary, allowing us to connect with an even wider community of dancers and continue growing our international presence.
