Competition types

Every dancer of every level will find what suits him and what he really dreams of here in COPAA.

Official Qualifier events

COPAA hosts official qualifier events that serve as the only pathway for dancers to be selected for the National Team of Cyprus and to represent the country in international championships under IDO, WMF, WDA, and ECU – COPAA Cyprus Championship and COPAA Cyprus Cup.

Participation in these official events ensures:
✅ Recognition at the national level
✅ Eligibility for international championships
✅ Fair and standardized evaluation by licensed adjudicators
✅ Full alignment with COPAA’s internal rules and the regulations of our partner organizations
