The first international ballet competition planned to start in Portorož was postponed by one year to July 2027 due to organizational reasons. The event, originally scheduled to begin on July 11, 2026, was moved to provide additional time to meet all planned standards. Organizers stated that the decision was made after consultation with the ballet community and noted that many foreign schools and academies had already planned their calendars before the official announcement of the event. They plan to use the next few months to expand their network of international partnerships and strengthen collaborations with ballet institutions worldwide. The competition will feature three rounds of performances and include workshops and training sessions. It aims to establish Portorož as a cultural destination by connecting young dancers and experts.
