Designed to be more than just a celebration, Dancing With the Stars Con 2026 will be an experience you’ll never forget, and here is everything you need to know about it…
What is Dancing With The Stars?
Dancing with the Stars is one of America’s most popular dance competition shows and has been airing since 2005 on ABC.
The show follows celebrities pairing up with professional dancers, and the couples get scores from judges and votes from the viewers, which decides whether they will continue next week or get eliminated, until only one pair remains and is declared the winner of the season.
It’s a simple format, but it has gained popularity around the world for more than 20 years and is part of a global TV franchise.
