The Netherlands have won this year’s Eurovision Young Dancers, with Sedrig Verwoert taking on Germany’s Felix Berning in the head to head dance-off.
Ten dancers took to the stage in the Baltic Opera House in Gdansk, to perform their individual numbers and participate in a two group dance numbers in front of three judges. Between then, Krzysztof Pastor, Nadia Espiritu, and Cameron McMillan, decided on the top two dancers – Verwoert and Berning – and putting them in the head-to-head final round to determine the winner.
