Evolution is paramount to the growth of any industry…

Longevity and sustainability is built on innovation and the ability to bring participants together who share a common cause. Love and relatability to a product, service, or brand will create positive outcomes that will breathe life into both a new venture or an existing operation. Understanding the need for such a transformation set in motion the creation of the Cheer and Dance Industry Professionals (CDIP).

WHO ARE WE?

CDIP is 501c6 non-profit trade organization comprised of cheer and dance industry professionals. We are event producers, service and goods providers, coaches, and gym owners. Our mission is to collectively influence the cheerleading and dance community. We aim to ensure the long-term viability of our membership and the spirit industry at-large.

OUR WHY?

CDIP will provide networking opportunities for event producers and other service providers to collaborate. The goal is to create a vessel of new ideas that will be beneficial to all members of the spirit industry.

The other main focus of the CDIP is to be an effective tool for coaches and owners to establish a community. This will allow for the most integral part of the spirit industry to work towards finding suitable solutions to increase participation and reduce costs.

ACCOMPLISHING OUR MISSION!

“Innovation is applauded, but execution is worshipped”

Daniel Gilbert – Cleveland Cavaliers (owner).

    • Through our yearly coaches conferences we strive to bring together all members of the spirit industry (EPs, service providers, industry professionals, coaches and owners) to collaborate, unify and give a voice to those who feel underrepresented.

    • We will be a repository of easily accessible information. With a few clicks or a phone call members and potential members will be able to gain access to much needed resources.

    • Lowering barriers to entrance to our industry by providing cost-effective solutions to needed services and competitions.

    • Creating a safe and consistent experience for all athletes, spectators and coaches regardless of division or discipline as a result of rules and regulations agreed upon by all participating EPs.
    • Establishing consistent and transparent scoring through the formation of judging/scoring committees made up of industry professionals with the objective of proper training and accountability.

Going independent: MORE OPTIONS THAN YOU THINK!

With costs in our industry on the rise and unpredictable changes each season there has never been a better time to compete at independent events.
Here are 5 major benefits of going independent:

1. Full production for a fraction of the cost:

Did you know that registration fees can be up to $20 less per athlete?

There are full production events that are being offered with less cost per athlete and many times less cost per spectator too!

2. Independent events cover most of the country:

There are independent events from Coast to Coast and the amount of events is growing everyday. If your area is in need of more events many independent event companies will consider bringing events to your area. Reach out they want to hear from you. 

3. No Stay to Play requirements

This benefit alone is worth shopping independent events in your area and even areas beyond. This is an immediate savings for your athletes, parents and an increase to your gyms bottom dollar

4. Multiple End of the Season Choices

When attending independent events there are multiple all level end of season events for gyms to choose from. You won’t lack with world’s bids either.
Independent companies have a huge variety of bids to end of season events all over the country including Las Vegas, New Orleans, Virginia Beach and even Universal Studios Resort Orlando

5. Personal Connection

Just like you are a small business owner so are these event producers. They have a deep rooted desire to make your gyms experience a success and enjoyable.
Many independents offer participant gifts, coaches room access, rebates, individual awards and much more.

As our industry grows and evolves

there is an even stronger need for competition in the market place. This is a great time for gyms to reap the benefits of shopping independent events. There are so many choices right at your finger tips.
