Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba, who have both served as judges on DWTS since its inaugural installment in 2005, will also be at the convention.
DWTS Con promises two live dance performances on the ballroom floor, interactive live panels with the show’s casts, interactive photo experiences, exhibits, Q&A sessions, exclusive merchandise and unique fan experiences. Tickets and VIP packages will go on sale Saturday, Feb. 14, at 10 a.m. PT.
Season 34 of DWTS reached new heights for the long-running reality series, sparking a newfound interest in all-things related to the show. Robert Irwin, son of Steve Irwin and brother to fellow Mirrorball Champion Bindi Irwin, was crowned the latest winner in November.
“We are so excited to bring Dancing With the Stars fans a truly once-in-a-lifetime event. For the first time ever, we’ll assemble the largest cast of pro dancers, Mirrorball Champions, and fan-favorite celebrities from throughout the show’s twenty-year history for an action-packed, full-weekend experience that will thrill audiences,” said Jared Paul of Faculty Productions. “When everyone is under one roof, anything can happen — and we can’t wait to bring the ballroom to life this summer in Palm Springs.”
Ryan O’Dowd, president of unscripted for BBC Studios, added: “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. For years, our fans have been clamoring for even more ways to engage with the show, 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.”
