The Eurovision Young Dancers 1989 was the third edition of the Eurovision Young Dancers held at the Palais des Congrès in Paris, France on 28 June 1989.[1] Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster France Régions 3 (FR3), dancers from ten countries participated in the televised final. A total of seventeen countries took part in the competition. Cyprus and Portugal made their debut at the contest.[1]

The participant countries could send one or two dancers, male or female, that could not be older than 19. Each dancer was free to participate in any of these 2 categories: classical dancing or contemporary, modern or jazz dancing. The pas de deux performances could not be longer than ten minutes, while the variations could not be longer than five minutes. There were 4 awards that year: contemporary dancing prize, classical dancing prize and 2 jury's special prizes (for contemporary and classical dance).[1]

The non-qualified countries were Austria, Canada, Cyprus, Italy, Norway, Portugal and Yugoslavia. Agnès Letestu of France won the contemporary dance prize, with Tetsuya Kumakawa of United Kingdom winning the classical ballet prize.[2]
