Free taster classes will also be available throughout the festival which runs from 18 September to 1 October 2010.
The dance festival is taking place for the second time after last year's successful initial event.
Philippa Gay, Walsall Council active lifestyles officer, said: "A number of dance clubs have already signed up to this year's festival but we are keen for even more to take part.
"Dancing has become an increasingly popular pastime for people of all ages in recent years and this event is a great opportunity for groups to showcase their skills and build on the enthusiasm which exists for everything from tap to ballet."
Leisure chiefs are keen to sign up dance groups who provide classes for adults or children.
