The 2025 American Rivers Conference (A-R-C) Competitive Cheer & Dance Championship will take place Sunday, February 16 in Storm Lake, Iowa. Buena Vista University will host the championship with competition beginning at 11:00a inside Siebens Fieldhouse. 

This year's event will feature six divisions: Dance (Hip-Hop, Jazz, Pom), Cheer (5-person Group Stunt, Game Day, 2.5 Minute). 

The A-R-C Competitive Dance Conference Champion will be decided by an average score from the Pom and Jazz routines. A divisional winner will be crowned in each of the three Dance categories (Hip-Hop, Jazz, and Pom) in addition to the overall A-R-C Competitive Dance champion. 

The A-R-C Competitive Cheer Champion will be decided by the score of the 2.5 Minute routine; with less than the required minimum number of teams competiting (5), the competitive cheerleading event will be held as an invitational this year. A divisional winner will be crowned in the 5-person Group Stunt and Game Day categories, with the A-R-C Competitive Cheer Invitational Champion being named from the 2.5-minute routine. 

The All-Conference competition for cheer and dance will take place at the conclusion of all divisions.
