Thank you for your patience as the KHSAA staff has worked to reschedule the State Competitive Cheer & Dance Championships following the recent weather-related postponement. We are thankful to the host site, George Rogers Clark High School, for accommodating an early January date. This allows us to conduct our full Cheer and Dance competitions while minimizing conflicts with late-winter and out-of-state events for many KHSAA member squads, which often start very early in January. We also want to respect the requests from member schools for their staff and student-athletes to enjoy the full winter break as originally planned.
While weather-related calendar adjustments can create unavoidable conflicts, the dates below represent the best available option for the greatest number of participating programs to experience a complete and equitable championship.

Cheer / Dance State Championships Postponed Due to Weather
IMPORTANT NOTICE TO MEMBER SCHOOLS AND COMPETITIVE CHEER/DANCE PARTICIPATING TEAMS, SCHOOLS, ADMINISTRATORS AND FANS
Due to the onset of the latest round of inclement weather overnight Thursday into Friday morning, and additional snow and ice expected, along with bitterly cold temperatures that will minimise snowmelt, the 2025-26 KHSAA State Competitive Cheer & Dance Championships have been postponed. With more than 100 Cheer squads and nearly 70 Dance squads headed to the state site in Winchester, the safety of participants, coaches, administrators, and parents remains the primary concern around this decision. A compelling factor in this decision is the more than significant number of squads that travel in school buses and vans from districts that have made the difficult decision to cancel classes on Friday to mitigate risk.
The postponed event is now tentatively rescheduled for January 9-11, 2026, at George Rogers Clark High School in Winchester. Following final confirmation of logistical details, additional notifications, including […]
