This year we only have the solo dance categories. We have canceled the group dance category this year and are only holding the solo dance categories. In 2023, there were too many applications, so we had to close registration one month before the official closing date. As a result, we decided to organize the 2024 event over two days. This year, however, SPERA2025 will only take place on one day, and in order to allow enough time for the solo dances, we have dispensed with group dances.
