More CheerExpo Nationals Info:
WHERE & WHEN: Saturday, March 27th and Sunday, March 28th, 2010 at the Halifax Forum (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada). Well why do the dates above include the 26th? We offer optional practice floor times on the competition spring floor on the Friday before. These are based on a first booked-first served basis and distance traveled does come into effect. These practice times are not open to public viewing. This just gives teams a chance to get a feel for the competition floor before it really counts. How many other events offer that?? The Halifax Forum is located at 2901 Windsor Street in Halifax.
After your practice time your team will get a full tour of the entire event to make sure they know where & when everything takes place and basic info like: Where is the Info Booth? Where can I get Ice if I need it? Where will EMS be located? Where do we get our team pictures taken? Where is the practice room? Where are the class spaces? How do I get a free CheerExpo Program? Where will the announcer be located? How do we enter and exit the competition floor? Where are the bathrooms, Concession Stands, and ATM machines? And any other questions you may have.

Who will be there: Cheerleading and dance companies from all over North America, and related companies including shoes, choreography, music, uniforms, props and signs, pompons, ribbons, fundraising, trophies, team wear, etc …everything that you need! CheerExpo is not associated with any other companies so you’ll get the best selection possible! Most other events limit what outside companies can sell at their events. We don't. The more competition, the better the prices and selection are for you. Here you will find the latest products, most at discounted special event prices. And because most items will be sold onsite, there is no mail ordering or shipping charges on those products. Keep in mind that each expo is different and may not include all of these company types.
Classes: During the event, top notch instructors are brought in from all over North America and will be teaching classes on various topics. Class topics will vary from expo to expo. Class sizes are limited and attended on a first come first served basis.There are two classes running every hour of the event. There is no need to pre-register for classes...just show up for the ones you are interested in. In between, check out the competition and/or the vendor booths.
