The Mediterranean Conference Centre hosted the first Malta International Dance Competition which was held between 27 and 31 March.

This international event attracted 1,100 applicants for the competition and over 300 students for the workshops conducted by a distinguished team of international teachers in the various dance disciplines.

The historic Mediterranean Conference Centre was turned into a Dance Centre where various spaces were temporary converted into dance studios which were professionally equipped with dance floors, barres, mirrors and pianos.

Dance competitions were held over three days and were judged by an international jury. Winners were awarded medals, trophies, scholarships and bursaries.

The international visiting guests highly praised the warm welcome and professional setup of the Mediterranean Conference Centre which is unique in its historical and cultural values as well as its location within Valletta and the Grand Harbour.
