📣 Nationals Registration is wrapping up!

Directors, please check the Directors Portal for the latest registration information and be finalizing your team’s entries for the 2026 ACHF National Championships.

Carefully review your dancers, routines, categories, solos, and duo/duet entries before submitting. All dancers attending with a team must register through their director.

Independent dancers who are not part of a team should email [email protected] by this Friday if they need to register for solo or duo/duet competition.

Remember that all freestyle solos, short duo/duets, and acapella duo/duets require advance registration. Pre-registration helps us keep entry costs down while also allowing us to prepare a more accurate weekend schedule of events for everyone attending Nationals.

To help keep communication clear and organized, we kindly ask dancers and families who are part of a team to direct their questions to their team director first. Directors can then contact ACHF on behalf of their group with any questions they are unable to answer.

We appreciate everyone’s help and can’t wait to see you in Hickory!

This Saturday, our 2024 and 2025 ACHF Opry Solo Award winners will take the stage at the Grand Ole Opry!

More than 25 years ago, the Opry Solo Award was named specifically to give its winners the opportunity to perform on this legendary stage. Since then, earning this honor has become a treasured part of ACHF and something our competitors look forward to working toward each season.

We are incredibly grateful to the Grand Ole Opry and the Opry Square Dancers for continuing to extend this special opportunity to our dancers year after year.

Please join us in wishing Haley, Teagan, and Austin good luck as they proudly represent ACHF and the clogging community this weekend. Enjoy every moment and have an amazing performance! ❤️🤍💙

What a day! ❤️🤍💙

From rehearsal to stepping under the lights at the Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud, our ACHF All American Performance Team had an incredible experience together.

These dancers came from teams across ACHF, worked hard, supported one another, and represented our organization with pride. Opportunities like this are about more than just the performance, they’re about making memories, building friendships, and celebrating the love of clogging together.

In addition to our incredible All American Performance Team taking the stage, two of our newly crowned ACHF royalty were also there to represent our organization.

We’re proud of all of our dancers for representing ACHF with class, sportsmanship, and pride today. Congratulations on a fantastic performance and an unforgettable day!

They’re ready! ❤️🤍💙

Our ACHF All American Performance Team has wrapped up rehearsals and is ready to take the stage this afternoon at the Hatfield & McCoy Dinner Feud in Pigeon Forge!

We wish each of these dancers the very best as they represent ACHF and their home teams with pride. We know they’ll put on a fantastic performance, and we couldn’t be more excited for this special opportunity for them!
