See you in March at the National Cheer & Dance Championships!

A recent BBC Panorama investigation exposed an alleged toxic culture of bullying, body shaming, and eating disorders behind the pointe shoes and pirouettes of ballet. The issues bear a striking similarity to those uncovered in British Gymnastics. Without one overarching national governing body in the world of dance, however, how will the industry move forwards?

Thank You!

A huge THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts to all the organisers, staff, volunteers, and stewards who ensured this event ran smoothly. We couldn’t do this without you!

To our spectators: Thank you for bringing YOUR best team spirit to create the great atmosphere we had over the weekend and cheer on all these spectacular teams. There’s nothing like our cheer family and friends!!

Finally, to our hosts: Thank you for guiding us through yet another fun-filled weekend!

Check out some of the awesome highlights from the weekend: 

Once again, massive congratulations to every single competitor who made the Summer Cheer & Dance Championships and the National Schools Cheer & Dance Championships the outstanding weekend events they were. 

See you at the next competition! 

Due to the overwhelming demand for spectator tickets for our Saturday competition events, we have made some adjustments for our upcoming events.

With the Velodrome in Manchester currently being refurbished, we are doing our best to ensure as many spectators as possible can get tickets for the events we have been hosting at the Belle Vue Sports Village.

Saturday events will no longer be categorised into Adult and Child tickets but Morning and Afternoon tickets. Morning Tickets will cover Cheer events, and Afternoon Tickets will cover Dance events. This is to ensure as many attendees will be able to see their preferred team in action.

The change also means we are unable to offer child tickets for the Saturday events, and each ticket will cost £10. In past events, we have had many purchases of child tickets which have been no-shows, which could have been sold to attendees who then, unfortunately, missed out.

We appreciate your understanding on this matter, and we look forward to seeing you at the next competition.

On Saturday, March 25th, and Sunday, March 26th, we held our National Cheer and Dance Championships! Cheer and Dance teams from across the UK competed at Belle Vue Sports Village, where the top cheer talent from across the country competed for glory.

We had so much fun over the weekend! This year was no exception regarding the companionship, competition, sheer talent, and joy displayed in both competitions! We owe all the competitors, coaches, clubs, mascots, parents, and spectators a huge round of applause for making this weekend of competitions the very best it could possibly be.
