The date for one of the most highly anticipated events of the UAAP calendar has been finalized.

The 2024 UAAP Cheerdance Competition is scheduled for December 1 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, where the Far Eastern University Cheering Squad will aim for its third title in four seasons.

However, the order of performance  is yet to be determined and will be decided by a drawing of lots in a press conference to be announced later.

"The UAAP CDC for this season promises bigger, better, and more spectacular performances from all eight schools as they prepare stronger, better, and together for one of the league's biggest events," said Rod Roque, the tournament director and University of the East's representative to the UAAP Board of Managing Directors.

The competition will be fierce, with the National University Pep Squad leading the charge as it attempts to dethrone FEUCS and reclaim  the top spot. 

NU is vying for a league-tying eighth CDC title, while the University of Santo Tomas Salinggawi Dance Troupe and the University of the Philippines Varsity Pep Squad will battle to break their tie at the top of the all-time standings.

The Adamson University Pep Squad also poses a strong challenge, seeking to build on the momentum from their first title win in 2017.

Meanwhile, the UE Pep Squad, De La Salle University Animo Squad, and Ateneo de Manila University Blue Eagles are preparing to showcase their new routines in front of what is expected to be a sold-out crowd at the bayside Pasay venue.
