The 11th edition of the Youth Dance Eurovision Festival was held at the National Theatre in Warsaw, Poland, on June 24, 2005.

This edition changed the country selection format for the final, as the semi-final was replaced by a week of master dance classes where dancers had the great opportunity to work individually or in groups with some of the best dance teachers in the world. Florence Clerc, Irek Mukhamedow, Christopher Bruce and Piotr Nardelli were the dance teachers selected to work with the participants and choose the 10 finalists.

3 countries of the 10 participants were disqualified and did not get the pass to the final in order to compete in the competition. These countries were Cyprus, Norway and Slovenia.

After this edition, the following two were replaced by the Eurovision Dance Festival in 2007 and 2008. After the low interest in participating in this new competition, in 2011, the Eurovision Festival of Young Dancers was reheld.
