Get ready to sashay into the world of Dancing with the Stars.

On Feb. 10, it was announced that the long-running ABC competition series will be hosting its first-ever convention, where superfans get to mix and mingle among ballroom pros and former contestants.

“Dancing with the Stars has always been about more than just competition, it’s about courage, connection, and the unforgettable moments that bring people together through dance,” said Ryan O’Dowd, president of Unscripted, BBC Studios and executive producer of the show, in a statement.

“For years our fans have been clamoring for even more ways to engage with the show,” he continued. “And we’re thrilled to have created this rare and immersive opportunity to experience the magic, the music, the movement, the emotion, and the heart that continues to make this show so special.”

It has been a standout year for Dancing with the Stars. Not only did the show celebrate its 20th anniversary on the air, it also became “the most-watched unscripted reality show on TV” in fall 2025, according to Vulture.

The most recent Dancing with the Stars season concluded in December 2025, but the party continues as fan-favorite fox trotters embark on the series’ tour Dancing with the Stars Live! and then head over to the fan convention.
