When you hear 'here come the judges' I can tell you that the first thing that comes to mind IS NOT holidays, full of spirit, and a cheerful demeanor. But you've got it all wrong! The judging panel at the Cheer & Dance NYC competition in New York is spreading holiday cheer today, dressed to impress in their seasonal best.

As you peer up at the podium you see santa hats reign deer horns and a few silly Christmas sweaters. And among these distinguished, jolly judges you'll see multiple Worlds judges who we'll see back in April when it's time to head to Orlando!



So the next time you see a judge and you get a little nervous about your performance - just picture them in a beard and a santa hat or some silly reign deer horns.
