Hosted annually by the U. S. All Star Federation and the International All Star Foundation, The Cheerleading Worlds ® and The Dance Worlds TM championships bring together the most accomplished teams in the sport. Participation is earned, not given. Teams spend an entire season training, competing and pursuing bids for the opportunity to perform on one of the most prestigious stages in All Star cheer and dance.
The legacy of these events spans more than two decades. The first Cheerleading Worlds ® championship was held in 2004, that redefined excellence in All Star cheer. As the sport continued to evolve, The Dance Worlds TM championship was established in 2007, providing elite dance athletes with their own world-class experience. Together, these events have become defining milestones in the careers of countless athletes, coaches and clubs.
For many athletes, stepping onto the Worlds stage represents years of dedication, sacrifice and perseverance. The experience creates memories that last a lifetime and inspires the next generation of athletes to pursue their own Worlds dreams.
