Celebrity Dance Competitions

Celebrity Dance Competitions · 2026-27 Season Schedule

Celebrity Dance Competitions operates as both a regional competition circuit and convention company, hosting approximately 14 regional events across the United States each season. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, the company serves dancers nationwide with competitions spanning from coast to coast, including cities such as Las Vegas, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, and San Diego. Celebrity utilizes a standard five-tier awards system of Platinum, High Gold, Gold, Silver, and Bronze, with panels of three judges evaluating performances across nine age divisions ranging from Mini through Adult and Premier levels. What sets Celebrity Dance Competitions apart is their unique "Nationals at Sea" event held aboard a Carnival Sunrise cruise departing from Miami, making them one of the only competition companies to offer a cruise-based nationals experience. The company also operates Celebrity Dance Conventions, launching their convention tour in 2013 to provide dancers with master classes and training opportunities from industry educators. Celebrity offers inclusive programming with specialty categories for adaptive dancers and features amenities such as complimentary souvenir shirts for all competitors. The company emphasizes environmental consciousness through digital registration systems and paperless communications, while their Celebrity Cares Foundation gives back to the dance community through charitable initiatives.

The Celebrity Dance Competitions tour runs 26 upcoming events across 27 cities this season. Browse the full schedule below — every regional stop, date, venue, and (where confirmed) nationals.
