Competition

Step into the spotlight and test your skills on one of the biggest stages in Canada!

The Calgary Dance Stampede is more than just a weekend of dance—it’s your chance to compete, earn points, and rise through the ranks alongside some of the best dancers in the world.

As a UCWDC qualifying event, competitors can chase their dream of the Country Dance World Championships. Our WSDC Jack & Jill contests and the CTST Two Step Tour put you in the fast lane to higher divisions, while our Line Dance and DanceHall competitions showcase the incredible variety and energy of today’s dance world. And now, as a proud member of the Rising Star Tour, we are thrilled to support and develop the next generation of up-and-coming WCS routine dancers—giving them the chance to shine and grow on a premier stage.

From first-time competitors to seasoned pros, every dancer brings their passion, skill, and hard work to the floor. The roar of the crowd, the thrill of performance, and the chance to share your journey with a vibrant community—this is what competing at the Stampede is all about.
