The 10th Eurovision Young Dancers took place on July 4th, 2003 in the Stadsschouwburg Amsterdam , in Amsterdam in the Netherlands . The host was the broadcaster NPS , which hosted a Eurovision Young Dancers for the first time.

Due to a format change, there were three winners this year. In the Modern Dance category , the Swedish dance couple Kristina Oom & Sebastian Michanek won the prize, while the Ukrainian dancer Jerlin Ndudi won the Ballet category . The Youth Jury Choice award went to the Czech dance couple Monika Hejduková & Viktor Konvalinka.
