The New Era
Saturday Night, Reimagined
The United States Dance Championships (USDC) is proud to announce a historic evolution for our upcoming season. Next September, the most prestigious stage in American DanceSport enters a "New Era," bringing an unprecedented blend of world-class competition and elite musical artistry.
A Historic Partnership
For the first time in our history, USDC is joining forces with the EC Dance Foundation New York. This collaboration marks a significant milestone for the industry, uniting two powerhouses to elevate the competitive experience for dancers and spectators alike.
Saturday Night, Reimagined
We are moving beyond the traditional competition format to present a night of unparalleled glamour:
- ★ Grammy Award–Winning Concert: Prepare for an evening where elite dance meets world-class live music.
- ★ Professional Smooth World Debut: For the first time, we will host the Open to the World Professional Smooth event.
- ★ Elite Open Events: Featuring the highly anticipated Open to the World Ballroom and Latin championships.
The USDC "New Era" events are scheduled to take place from September 7th through September 12th, 2026. This reimagined format represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of DanceSport while honoring the prestige of being the only place where you can become a true US National Dance Champion.
