The Eurovision Young Dancers 2017 will be the fifteenth edition of the Eurovision Young Dancers competition. The final was scheduled to be held at the Grand Harbour in Valletta, Malta on 9 June 2017, however the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) announced on 23 January 2017 that the event would no longer be held in Malta. This would have been the third time that the Maltese national broadcaster, Public Broadcasting Services (PBS), would have organised a Eurovision event, the first two being the Junior Eurovision Song Contest in 2014 and 2016. The contest will now take place in the Czech Republic for a second time. The event is aimed at young dancers aged between 16 and 21, competing in modern dances, be it solo or in couples, as long as they were not professionally engaged. Six countries have so far confirmed their interests in participating in the event.
On 7 July 2015, the Maltese city of Valletta, was selected as the host city for the 2017 edition of the biennial Eurovision Young Dancers. The reasons behind this decision was to coincide the Young Dancers event alongside the European Capital of Culture, of which the city will be the organisers of a series of cultural events in 2018, all with a strong European dimension. The contest was scheduled to take place on 9 June 2017, with the Mediterranean Conference Centre originally proposed as the venue. However, on 19 November 2016 it was reported that the host broadcaster PBS were planning to host the contest in the open-air. It was announced on Christmas Eve 2016 that the event would take place at the Grand Harbour.
