Insider Info: 2024 Spirit Cheer Dance Grand Nationals & Cheer Nationals

The Spirit Cheer Dance Grand Nationals & Cheer Nationals will return to the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, again in 2024, bringing the most esteemed cheer and dance teams back to the Sunshine State for another round of elite competition. 

This is one of two major events Spirit Cheer puts on each year – the other is Spirit Cheer Super Nationals – but this one is all about giving the cheerleaders AND dancers time in the spotlight.

Since 1998, Spirit Cheer has been producing innovative, reasonably priced, and fun-for-all events for competitors of all ages and skill levels. 

Enjoy complete coverage of the event, as All Star cheer and dance teams from Division I and Division II go head-to-head with their sights set on obtaining points to The Varsity Cheer League by Varsity All Star and a bid to one of the prestigious end-of-season championships!

What To Know About The Orange County Convention Center

Winter nearly is upon us, so the beautiful weather in the Sunshine State likely is a welcomed escape from, well, almost anywhere, and Orlando long has been a family-friendly and memory-making destination.

And the Orange County Convention Center just happens to be in the heart of one of the nation’s most amazing tourism districts. 

Though the main focus of this trip is the 2024 Spirit Cheer Dance Grand Nationals & Cheer Nationals, why not turn the visit into an unforgettable experience and vacation, regardless of what happens on the competition stage? What a way to kick off the holiday season and possibly time off from school, too!

More on all that later.

First, the OCCC averages nearly 200 events each year and welcomes more than 1.5 million visitors. 

The facility includes 7 million square feet of space across two buildings – the West Building and the North-South Building. Both feature exhibit space, meeting rooms, breakout rooms, and thousands of parking spaces. The West Building also has a ballroom, theatre, and lecture hall. Each building has four food courts for hungry guests.

The Varsity Cheer League

The Varsity Cheer League is the official ranking system for the sport of All Star cheerleading, changing the conversation from “Who won the weekend?” to “Who ranks at the top this season?”

Every team that competes at a Varsity All Star event this season will be included in The Varsity Cheer League.

Team rankings are determined by the points system displayed here. At each Varsity All Star event your team competes, your team will earn points based on the assigned event and placement point value.

At the end of the season, your six best Varsity All Star event scores will be used to calculate your final rank.

In total, 128 winners will be recognized from first to third place across each region. 

One champion will be crowned in each of the five regions across the eight eligible divisions and two League 6 conferences, meaning 42 championships will be awarded in total. Champions will win cash and prizes!
