  3. Can You Dance? Super Convention 2026

The Can You Dance? Super Convention returns to the Liverpool Experience Campus this October and it’s bigger and bolder – with more opportunities than ever before! 

This year’s convention promises to be the most ambitious yet, featuring a record-breaking 250 masterclasses led by an exceptional international faculty of renowned choreographers and industry professionals.

More than 20,000 attendees are expected to gather for an immersive experience that spans a broad spectrum of disciplines – from Contemporary, Jazz Technique and Ballet, to Musical Theatre, Lyrical and Hip Hop. The event offers opportunities for dancers of all levels, from beginners to seasoned performers.
In addition to its educational offerings, the CYD? Super Convention will also serve as a launchpad for emerging talent. Top performing arts colleges will be in attendance, actively scouting for promising dancers, with a wide array of scholarships, awards and prizes available throughout the weekend.
 
The UK’s Biggest Casting Call is also returning, with 8 incredible companies hosting auditions under one roof, bringing professional opportunities to Liverpool – with contracts being offered by leading casting companies.

“We’ve watched the Super Convention evolve into something truly international – more than just an event, it’s become a hub for dancers worldwide,” said Tom Shilcock and Matt Flint, Founders of CYD?. 
“This year marks our most ambitious edition yet – an experience where dancers don’t just train and perform, but immerse themselves, find inspiration and build real connections within the industry.”
