From 16th to 29th May 2026, the world’s best dancers will gather once again in Blackpool to compete, perform, and celebrate this extraordinary centenary. This is more than a competition. It is a celebration of dance itself — its heritage, its evolution, and its enduring global appeal. For many, attending Blackpool in person remains a lifelong ambition. But for this historic year, the Festival will be shared far beyond the Empress Ballroom.

DSI TV is honoured to once again live stream the Blackpool Dance Festival, continuing a long-standing partnership that has brought this remarkable event to audiences worldwide since 2012. Throughout the Festival, all events from the Empress Ballroom will be streamed live, allowing dancers, families, and enthusiasts across the globe to follow every moment.

In the early rounds, viewers will be able to enjoy continuous live coverage of the competition floor, capturing the scale, energy, and atmosphere that define Blackpool. As the Festival builds, DSI TV will deliver its full broadcast production, featuring multi-camera coverage and expert commentary. This approach ensures that every stage of the competition is covered, while the defining moments are presented with the clarity, focus, and depth they deserve.

The 100th Blackpool Dance Festival is not simply another event.
It is a landmark moment in the history of dance.
We are proud to share it with you.
