One of the reasons for holding this contest is to make the Kyoen Sodefure! well-known, and there is a rule that, in principle, groups which have participated in the competition have to join the So Odori (a dance festival) for the Grand Finale, which will be explained below (high school and younger students are not forced to join the So Odori due to the late time.)
この企画が創設された背景に、京炎そでふれ！の普及のためという目的があり、コンテストに参加した団体は後述するGrandFinaleの総おどりに原則参加という規定がある（高校生以下は時間帯の問題もあり、参加を強制していない）。
