Frequently Asked Questions
When is Dancing with the Stars in Durham, NC?
Dancing with the Stars – Live! 2026 Tour comes to DPAC (Durham Performing Arts Center) on Sunday, March 15, 2026, with the show starting at 4:00 pm. This is a single-afternoon performance in Durham on the 2026 tour schedule.
Where is DPAC and what is the venue like?
DPAC is located at 123 Vivian Street in downtown Durham, beside the American Tobacco Campus and Durham Bulls Athletic Park. It is a modern Broadway-style theater with about 2,700–2,800 seats on three levels, known for intimate sightlines, excellent sound, and a glass-front lobby overlooking downtown.
What time should I arrive before the 4:00 pm show?
DPAC’s parking information notes that garages and lots typically begin event parking 2–2.5 hours before showtime. For a 4:00 pm show, plan to arrive around 2:00–2:30 pm so you have time to park, walk to the theater, pass security, and find your seats without rushing.
How long does the Dancing with the Stars live show usually last?
Tour and DPAC descriptions say the Dancing with the Stars Live show runs about two hours, usually with a short intermission. With a 4:00 pm start, you can expect to leave DPAC around 6:00–6:15 pm, plus a little extra time to exit and return to your parking.
How much do tickets usually cost for the Durham show?
Sample listings show a wide range of prices, with upper-level rows starting under $200 and lower-level or closer rows running higher. In general, balcony and rear-orchestra seats are cheaper, while front orchestra and preferred center sections cost more, especially for popular Sunday shows.
What VIP options are available at DPAC?
The DPAC news release notes that VIP packages are offered, which include premium tickets, a meet-and-greet photo opportunity, interactive experiences with members of the touring cast, exclusive merchandise, and other extras. These VIP options are ideal for superfans looking for close seats and added experiences, but they are not necessary if you mainly want to see the show at a lower price.
How can I get cheap tickets for Dancing with the Stars in Durham?
To keep ticket costs down, search for seats in the upper balcony or rear orchestra instead of front-center orchestra or VIP packages, which are priced at a premium. Compare several ticket sites, sort by lowest price, avoid VIP add-ons, and buy early so the least expensive blocks don’t sell out or climb in price as March 15 approaches.
Which seats are best to enjoy a dance show at DPAC?
DPAC is designed so nearly every seat has a good view, but many guests prefer center orchestra and the front of the Grand Tier (first balcony) for seeing detailed choreography and full-stage patterns. If you want a balance between price and view, consider mid-orchestra or front balcony seats facing center stage, which are often cheaper than the very front rows but still feel close in a 2,700-seat hall.
What are the parking options for DPAC, and how can I save money?
DPAC’s official parking guide highlights nearby decks such as the American Tobacco North and South garages on Mangum Street, which charge about $10 per car or hourly rates and open a couple of hours before shows. City-owned garages and American Tobacco garages apply flat event parking fees about 90 minutes before events, while some garages like Chapel Hill Street and Morgan-Rigsbee may not charge special event rates. To save money, arrive early to use standard-priced garages, look for city decks that do not charge event rates, consider metered street parking free after 7:00 pm for evening visits, and carpool to split parking costs.
Is the Dancing with the Stars show in Durham family friendly?
The DPAC event and tour materials describe Dancing with the Stars Live 2026 as a glitzy, TV-style ballroom and Latin dance show with professional dancers, special guest Elaine Hendrix, and popular music, aimed at a broad audience. Families should consider the 4:00 pm afternoon start and roughly two-hour length, and may prefer aisle or lower-level seats to make it easier to step out if children or older guests need a break.
What is the best overall strategy to keep the Durham afternoon affordable?
The best approach is to choose balcony or rear-orchestra seats, watch multiple ticket platforms for lower prices and smaller fees, and purchase as soon as you see a good mix of cost and view instead of waiting for last-minute spikes. Combine that with reasonably priced city or American Tobacco garages, mobile tickets without extras, and shared rides so you can enjoy Dancing with the Stars Live at DPAC without overspending.
