The Eurovision Young Dancers 1991 was the fourth edition of the Eurovision Young Dancers, held at the Helsinki City Theatre in Helsinki, Finland on 5 June 1991.[1] Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Yleisradio (YLE), dancers from eight countries participated in the televised final. A total of fifteen countries took part in the competition. Bulgaria made their début (making this the first Eurovision event to feature a former Warsaw Pact country ahead of the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest), while Austria, Canada and United Kingdom chose not to send an entry.[1] However, the Austrian broadcaster ÖRF and the Canadian CBC broadcast the event.

Each country could send one or two dancers, male or female, who could perform one or two dances.

The non-qualified countries were Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, Italy, Norway, Portugal and Yugoslavia. Amaya Iglesias of Spain won the contest, with France and Denmark placing second and third respectively.[2]
