==History==
Disney Junior Dance Party! made its debut in 2017, captivating audiences at both Disney's Hollywood Studios and Disney California Adventure. The show was created to fill a need for a more engaging and interactive experience for young children at Disney theme parks. Leveraging the immense popularity of Disney Junior's TV programming, Disney sought to provide a live show where young fans could sing, dance, and celebrate with their favorite characters. The show debuted at Disney California Adventure on May 26, 2017, and later opened at Disney's Hollywood Studios on December 22, 2018 with both replacing Disney Junior - Live on Stage!. 
The original version of the show featured characters from Mickey and the Roadster Racers, Sofia the First, Doc McStuffins, and The Lion Guard at both locations. At Disney's Hollywood Studios, the show was updated on September 28, 2018 to include characters from Vampirina. The Disney California Adventure version followed suit on February 1, 2019, and also added characters from Fancy Nancy (replacing Sofia the First) in addition to Vampirina. On July 28, 2020, the show at Disney's Hollywood Studios was replaced by a new socially distanced attraction called Disney Junior Play and Dance! after being closed with the park on March 12, 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
==Trivia==
*Years before Disney Junior Dance Party! replaced Disney Junior - Live on Stage! at Disney's Hollywood Studios, the latter hosted dance parties of the same name as the former during Extra Magic Hours nights. They included music, balloon animal artists, and Disney Junior characters dancing with attending guests.
