Morocco to Compete in the 2025 Dance World Cup in Spain

Young Moroccan dancers are set to represent the nation at one of the world’s biggest international dance competitions.

Fez – Morocco is preparing to make an impressive appearance at the Dance World Cup 2025, the world’s largest international dance competition for children and young adults.

Held this year in Burgos, Spain, from June 27 to July 7, the event welcomes more than 20,000 dancers from over 60 countries: an arena where young Moroccan talent will proudly step into the spotlight.

Starting Friday, July 4, Moroccan dancers will begin their official competition performances across multiple categories, ranging from contemporary and classical ballet to urban and modern styles.

Among the delegation are rising stars like Assia Gourari, who earned her spot through official national selections, and now joins a group of young performers committed to representing Morocco on an international stage.

The Moroccan delegation is led by BUDO Sport Club, a well-established training ground for youth dancers. Their selection for the global finals speaks to the growing strength and professionalism of Morocco’s performing arts scene.

For many of these young dancers, the Dance World Cup is not just a contest, it’s a defining life experience, offering exposure, cultural exchange, and the chance to showcase their hard work in front of an international audience.

Beyond the competition, this is a moment of national pride. These dancers are ambassadors of Moroccan culture, determination, and creative expression.

Their participation sends a clear message: Morocco’s youth are ready to take their place in the world’s artistic landscape, and they are doing it with elegance, discipline, and ambition.

The presence of Moroccan dancers at such a prestigious event also revives the conversation around the place of the performing arts in Moroccan society.

While traditional sports continue to receive broad support and visibility, disciplines like dance still struggle for recognition, funding, and infrastructure.

Yet the results speak for themselves; young Moroccan dancers are excelling on a global level, often with limited resources and relying heavily on the dedication of families and local clubs.

The Dance World Cup is a compelling example of what becomes possible when talent is nurtured and given international platforms.

The Moroccan team’s journey deserves attention not only for the competition itself, but for the stories behind it: the early-morning rehearsals, the sacrifices, the dreams, and the passion that drives these performers and their coaches.

Families, instructors, and supporters remain on the ground, ready to share visuals, insights, and testimonies throughout the competition.

They invite the Moroccan public and media to rally behind these young athletes, not only as dancers, but as carriers of national pride and cultural promise.
