By Andy Lyons, founder of DanceFinder, cataloguing dance competitions, conventions, and summer intensives across the US and Canada.
The 2026-27 dance comp season is taking shape, and we’ve got the dates. Over the past week, competition companies rolled out their schedules — and we added 750+ new events to DanceFinder to match. Here’s the picture as of mid-May, with more being added every cycle.
Pulled live from our database on May 12, 2026. Many events have only city + state posted at this point — venue, hotel, pricing, and registration details will populate as competition companies finalize the season.

We catalogue 3,550 competition events scheduled between Fall 2026 and Summer 2027, run by 197 different competition companies across 63 US states and Canadian provinces.
Most events at this stage have city + state confirmed, with a fraction also showing venue. Pricing, registration deadlines, hotel blocks, and category lists trickle in over the summer as companies finalize each city. We refresh the database weekly — the page updates as new details land.
