Australian All Star Cheerleading Federation
Australian All Star Cheerleading Federation
Australian All Star Cheerleading Federation (AASCF) , is an organisation for All Star cheerleading coaches & athletes around the country dedicated to the promotion and advancement of All Star Cheer & Dance as a respected athletic discipline and sport.
AASCF provides coach education & accreditation, conferences, camps/clinics, judges training and Australia’s largest National competition series.
AASCF is Australia’s most prestigious event producer offering championships all across Australia from June to November with the sports crowning glory being AASCF Nationals where where over 1000 teams from across the country compete for the coveted title of National Champion.
AASCF has been the driving force in the development and expansion of the Australian all star cheer & dance community since it was established in April 2005.
At AASCF, we believe that cheer and dance is much more than competition, trophies, and applause! All Star Cheer & Dance is more than just a sport – it is a great way to learn life skills that will serve athletes well for years to come – teamwork, dedication, loyalty, commitment, compromise, hard work=results.
Not only do AASCF provide the ultimate competition experiences, we also provide expert education opportunities for athletes and coaches alike – continuing our commitment to safely progressing Cheer & Dance for the benefit of the whole community.
AASCF founders have been involved in cheerleading & dance for more than three decades and could see the necessity to bring All Star Cheer & Dance in Australia to a new safe and professional level. Realising that by teaching a proper balance of skills, technique and safety, All Star Cheer & Dance could be more than just fun thus AASCF started its highly acclaimed educational program for both coaches and athletes.
From the outset we realised the positive impact cheerleading and dance can have on all those who take part, teaching each athlete discipline, keeping fit, the importance of being a individual but also the reliance of others when being part of a team.
From the beginning AASCF invested in the sport and fast became the bench mark in Australia who others now aspire to.
AASCF was one of the very first organisations outside of the United States to join and be accepted by the USASF / IASF Governing Body. Investing heavily in the USASF / IASF rules AASCF brought them to Australia in 2006 to allow uniformity across organisations and countries.
We were one of the first International companies to offer teams the opportunity and funding to take part at Cheerleading Worlds held each year in Orlando, Florida. USA.
AASCF is cheerleading in Australia today, with its education, competitions, camps, and apparel!

The School also has a Boarding Programme which allows students from outside Melbourne to join the Full Time programme and live in a safe and nurturing environment with their peers.
The School also offers Open Classes in Melbourne and around Australia which any student can join without the need to Audition.
We are a Registered Training Organisation offering accredited courses which at the highest level have our Level 8 students achieving a Graduate Diploma in Classical Ballet. The School believes students should maintain their academic studies whilst developing their dance skills, so in partnership with VCASS students are also able to finish secondary school and earn their VCE.
Our aim is to balance the rigorous demands of professional training with a creative, caring and challenging environment where excellence can flourish. The School continues to evolve its world-class health and well-being systems which focus on supporting the physical, emotional and mental health needs of students.
As part of the School’s commitment to the art of ballet we also train teachers. Many students of the School go on to professional careers in dance and then transition into teaching via our Graduate Diploma of Elite Dance Instruction.
The Australian Ballet School aims to develop well-balanced human beings, with a strong ethical sense, who are well fed in body, mind and spirit. This holistic ideal is the core of our success in developing the artistic leaders of the future and the ranks of our graduates include the Artistic Director and most of the Principal Artists of The Australian Ballet, world famous choreographers such as Graeme Murphy AM and Meryl Tankard, and dancers who have succeeded in the very best international companies; such as Hannah O’Neill of Paris Opera Ballet.

Recently upgraded to reflect contemporary Australian dance teaching methods.
Classical Ballet
The AICD is a not for profit organisation that provides training, assessments and other services to classical ballet teachers and students. Our goal is to ensure that high quality classical ballet training is available to the broadest number of young Australian dancers possible. An integral part of the AICD approach is the Borovansky Syllabus.
The syllabus, originated from the school of Xenia Borovansky – the Russian-born wife of Edouard Borovansky, who came to Australia with the Covent Garden Russian Ballet in 1939. He went on to found the Borovansky Ballet Company – the precursor of the Australian Ballet. The Borovansky Syllabus, which has been upgraded by the AICD to reflect contemporary Australian dance teaching methods, caters for students from primary through to solo seal.
The key features of our approach are maintaining a high standard of tradition and technique as well as developing a sense of performance in students. Teachers’ and pupils’ artistry is encouraged through minimum prescribed detail of port de bra thus allowing the individual freedom of expression and interpretation. For more information and a preview of the Borovansky Syllabus, please visit the website.
