About
About
With its inaugural event in 2004, CheerExpo Nationals is a long-standing and prestigious annual event hosted in beautiful Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. The event is renowned for our excellence in scheduling, scoring, awards, and bid opportunities.
CheerExpo enters an exciting new chapter under new owners, Ashley Astephen and Erica Royal, continuing the legacy of excellence, community, and cheer spirit that has made this event a national favourite.
CheerExpo Nationals is a multi-day event where teams perform twice (except novice, prep, speciality divisions, etc.). Final scores will be a combination of both runs.
Prep/Novice, Dance (performance cheer), Specialty (Indy, Duo, Stunt Groups) may compete Friday night, or on Saturday, but will be ONE-RUN only. Routines may be performed on an additional day for the performance rate of $80 per team/indy.
