The Blackpool Dance Festival began in 1920 in the Empress Ballroom at the Winter Gardens in Blackpool.
Covering a period of fourteen days, the May Blackpool Dance Festival is by far the largest of the five festivals held in Blackpool. The Festival covers Ballroom and Latin American dancing, incorporating the British Open Championships for Adult Amateur and Professional couples, plus Formation Teams.
2026 marked the 100th Anniversary of the Blackpool Dance Festival, welcoming dancers from across the globe to the iconic Empress Ballroom floor and creating another unforgettable chapter in its remarkable history.
Memories were made, milestones were celebrated, and a century of dance was honoured. We look forward to continuing this incredible legacy and creating many more memories for generations to come.
