Built To Achieve.
From Nottinghamshire to international competition floors, our athletes have turned hard work, teamwork and ambition into achievements we will remember forever.
From Nottinghamshire To The World Stage.
Notts Hotshots began as a local cheer and dance programme and has grown into an academy whose athletes compete across the UK and internationally. Every bid, final, title and award represents hours of training, commitment and teamwork from athletes, coaches and the families supporting them.
4× All Star Worlds Bids Earned.
Across the programme's history, Notts Hotshots teams have earned four bids to compete at the All Star World Championships in Orlando, taking athletes from our Nottinghamshire academy onto an international competition stage.
Hotshots reached the All Star Worlds Finals in 2026. For 2027, two more teams have earned the opportunity to represent the academy in Orlando: Renegade in cheer and Ascend in lyrical dance.
Two More International Opportunities.
Hotshots' international pathway extends beyond Orlando. Radiance and Outlaws have earned European Summit bids, giving athletes from two different dance disciplines the opportunity to represent the academy internationally in 2027.
Radiance
Radiance earned a European Summit bid in lyrical, creating another major international opportunity for athletes within the Notts Hotshots dance programme.
Outlaws
Outlaws earned a European Summit bid in Hip-Hop, taking Hotshots' energy, choreography and performance onto another international competition floor.
Every Result Has A Story Behind It.
Competition day is only the final chapter. Behind every performance are months of training, choreography, corrections, resilience and athletes learning to trust one another.
That is why every Hotshots achievement belongs to more than the athletes standing on the floor. It belongs to teammates, coaches and the families who support them throughout the journey.
More Than One Moment.
International bids are only part of the story. Across our competition seasons, Hotshots athletes and teams have earned recognition, awards, titles and podium finishes across cheer and dance.

The Moments Behind The Medals.
The best moments aren't always standing on top of a podium. They're the celebrations backstage, the teammate who helps someone through a difficult session, the first new skill and the confidence to step onto a competition floor.
Success Means More At Hotshots.
We love competing and we are incredibly proud of every result our athletes achieve, but success at Hotshots has never been measured only by medals.
We want athletes to leave our academy more confident, resilient and capable than when they arrived, with friendships, experiences and memories that stay with them.

30 Teams. One Family.
Thirty teams across cheer, lyrical, Hip-Hop and pom. Different ages, different disciplines and different goals, but one academy supporting each other and representing Notts Hotshots together.
