Get your pom poms out and get ready to cheer, because the Bay's cheerleading and dance competition is coming.

Battle in the Bay will be held at ASB Arena at Baypark on August 5 this year.

Hundreds of competitors from all over New Zealand will be taking to the stage to perform their best routines.

It's a full-on day of cheer and dance action on Saturday, August 5. Doors open at 8am with the first performance at 9am. Spectator tickets are $5 for adults, $2 for children 5-12 years and under-fives attend for free.

International and senior level competitors will be competing with performances you don't want to miss! With these teams often travelling internationally to compete, be ready for jaw-dropping and fast action with competitors lifted and thrown high into the air.

Along with a Guinness World Record attempt scheduled during the day there will be coffee carts, plenty of merchandise, competitions and giveaways, as well as some celebrity guest appearances and a photo booth thanks to Photobooth Fun NZ.

The event is hosted by Bay Twisters, Tauranga's cheerleading club and New Zealand's only not-for-profit cheerleading club. Based at 3rd Ave in Tauranga, the club offers cheerleading for boys and girls for all levels from three to 20 years of age.
