The United States All Star Federation and the International All Star Federation host just two competitions a year-The Dance Worlds™ and The Cheerleading Worlds™. Event producers of premier championships sponsor their best teams to compete at these international competitions. Dance and cheer teams from all over the world may qualify to compete in either Senior and Open divisions.
In 2020, an event producer may award up to $5,000 for each team they sponsor with a paid bid to The Dance Worlds™. Given this, and the fact that many event producers award multiple bids, it's easy to see that substantial resources are allocated to support teams that have participated in their competitions. Event producers select teams of the highest distinction from their premier events to represent their respective companies at The Dance Worlds™.
The 2020-2021 Dance Bid Events are held by event producers that are members of the USASF. These are USASF sanctioned events, and the teams selected are of the highest distinction to represent the respective companies.

Below are the 2020-2021 USASF Dance Score Sheets and Scoring Webinar that will be used at The Dance Worlds for the Senior Divisions. You can click on each link to view / download. The webinar and sheets are available to all event producers as an option to use during the 2020-21 event season. Coaches be sure to check with each event producer to verify what scoring system will be used and to plan your choreography accordingly.
USASF Dance Score Sheet
The Dance Score Sheet Committee includes event producers, industry specialists, coaches, choreographers and judges, and is tasked with reviewing and refining the Worlds Score Sheet on an annual basis.

Score Sheet Explanation
USASF Scoring Webinar
The scoring webinar is led by The Dance Worlds Senior Panel Directors and reviews each caption in-depth, points out changes from the previous year and gives insight to tools the judges use to encourage consistency at The Dance Worlds in the Senior Divisions. Throughout the webinar, you will hear us say note the words in RED or new this year. Due to the abrupt ending of last competition season, many event producers, teams, and The Dance Worlds did not have an opportunity to use this score sheet. We felt it was important for the 20-21 season to leave these words or concepts as 'new' to draw attention to their purposeful inclusion from last season.
