The vision

Ignyte is a brand-new UK allstar cheerleading and dance competition — a stage worth travelling for, scored fairly, and shaped by the clubs and athletes who compete. Bristol 2028 is our debut; it's only the beginning.

Why Ignyte
Built around what clubs actually ask for.
Cheer & dance, one roof
Allstar cheer levels alongside dance categories — the full spectrum of the sport sharing one stage and one crowd.
Scored to be trusted
A clear, published scoring framework and experienced judges. Clubs deserve results they can stand behind.
A stage worth travelling for
Arena production values, big sound and a proper crowd — the kind of atmosphere athletes remember for years.
The Ignyte difference
Why Ignyte is different
A few promises we're building the competition around — the things clubs tell us they wish every event did.
Our promise
Feedback you can actually use
Every team leaves with a clear, published scoresheet and judges' notes — not just a number on a ribbon. Enter knowing exactly how you're judged; go home knowing how to get better.
Our promise
Founding Clubs
Clubs who compete at our 2028 debut become Founding Clubs — permanent recognition, a founding badge, and first refusal on places as Ignyte grows.
Our promise
Everyone included
Special Abilities and Para divisions run with the same care, stage and celebration as every other — and first-timers get a genuinely warm welcome, not a baptism of fire.
Our promise
A schedule you can trust
A published running order and realistic performance windows, so no team spends the whole day waiting around.
For clubs & coaches
Bringing a team in 2028?
