The International Ballet Competition - Varna was established in 1964. Its first edition was held from 2 to 13 July at the Open-Air Theatre in the biggest sea resort of Bulgaria. It is the first professional international ballet competition in the world. Highly popular is the definition of the French press that "any dancer awarded in Varna has already a guaranteed prosperity in professional ballet. Even those not awarded, on their return from Varna, are already considerably more popular in their own countries". During the Competition concomitant events are also being held, among which the traditional International Summer Ballet Academy with classes in classical ballet, contemporary techniques and jazz. World famous pedagogues from France, Great Britain, Russia, Denmark, the USA, Holland, etc. are being invited to teach.
