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.

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.
