Both the international panel of judges and the audience voted the big winner tonight, the dance group Force, who competed in the Urban formation adult category. Their energetic performance was bursting with energy, coordinated dance moves, and the icing on the cake were the floating red handkerchiefs that added a touch of magic to the show.

Magical!

This year's three-day dance festival Rolly dance open 2025, which took place this weekend in the Tabor Hall in Maribor, ended with a novelty: the visitors also decided on the winner, similar to Eurovision. In an exciting vote, they ultimately chose the same winner as the expert committee, which is further proof of the virtuosity of the Celje dance group.

This exceptional dance event served up above-average quality points this year. According to many, the organizers managed to attract the best dance schools not only from Slovenia, but also from the entire region. Among the applicants were dancers from 9 countries. Of course, Slovenia is special in this. Namely: Slovenians are not only record holders in the number of tractors per capita, we also lead in the number of dance schools per capita. The Rolly dance open festival once again confirmed that the spring term before the summer holidays is an important springboard for all dancers, amateur and professional. This year's crop of applicants stood out noticeably from the average of previous years. This year, the Rolly dance school organized the festival for the seventh time in a row and even during the corona period, they maintained the rhythm and dance steps. The result is a larger number of performers and the quality of the submitted points every year.

The Rolly Dance Open concluded with the announcement of a new dance festival in 2026, which will take place from May 15th to 17th next year at the same location.

Is it possible to surpass this year's competitors in terms of quality? Let's wait and see...
