Cheering Challenge

Details from below are for 2023 – check back soon for 2024!

The Cheering Challenge is one of several parts of the O’Rama Regional Cup.  It’s a deafening free-for-all that turns a West Coast Swing competition into a sporting event and brings the energy in the ballroom to levels unlike I’ve ever seen (or heard) at another dance event.
We’ve made a few tweaks for this year…

• The Cheering Challenge will be Saturday Evening during the Strictly Finals. 100 points will be awarded to the winning alliance, 75 points to 2nd, 50 points to 3rd and 25 points to 4th.
• Judging criteria for this is creativity, spirit, is your cheering positively encouraging the dancers (as opposed to obnoxiously distracting from them) and not just loudness.
• We’ll have some buckets of earplugs for those who may need them (these are intended for use during the cheering challenge but if your roommate snores you can steal them for that too)
