Get ready, High Point — Carolina Classic is almost here, and it’s bringing three spectacular days of dancing, cheering, and celebrating everything we love about Fred Astaire ballroom.
Join us October 8–10, 2026 as we honor the talent of Fred Astaire’s top‑tier instructors and the dedication of students from across the country. Competitive ballroom really is one of humanity’s boldest ideas: sparkle, adrenaline, dramatic entrances, and just enough emotional chaos to make it unforgettable. And somehow… it works beautifully.
Carolina Classic has earned its reputation as “The Loudest House” — a fun, friendly, high‑energy ballroom where cheering is encouraged, applause is constant, and every dancer feels like the star of the show the moment they step onto the floor.
All weekend long, you’ll get the chance to showcase your growth, push your artistry, and celebrate your achievements in an atmosphere overflowing with support and camaraderie. Whether it’s your first competition or your fiftieth, our mission is simple: help you feel confident, proud, and part of something truly special.
Saturday night turns up the elegance with a showstopping performance by World‑Class dancers Andrei Kozlovsky & Nino Dzneladze, followed by a formal dinner that’s guaranteed to be as memorable as the dancing itself. If you’d like to be part of the evening’s festivities, ask your instructor to attend the Saturday night performance and dinner — they’ll help you plan your evening and make sure you don’t miss a moment of the magic.
Spectators are welcome all weekend, and tickets are available — just ask your instructor for pricing. It’s the perfect way for friends, family, and anyone who loves a lively ballroom atmosphere to join the excitement.
Come for the dancing. Stay for the energy. Leave inspired.
