23 October 2025
The All Star Group is proud to announce that Cheer N Dance Athletics has joining Australia’s largest cheer and dance gym network, alongside Melbourne Cheer Academy, Force Elite All Stars, and Storm Elite All Stars. This marks an exciting milestone for cheerleading and dance in Bendigo and Heathcote, delivering expanded opportunities, stronger connections, and valuable resources to athletes and families across Central Victoria.
“This is a fantastic opportunity for our athletes and families,” said Kim Manallack-Benstead, CND Gym Founder and Programs Director. “We are thrilled to continue focusing on giving our community access to the opportunities, innovations, and quality programs that come with being part of a national powerhouse in cheer and dance.”
There will be no changes to the management and coaching teams in Bendigo and Heathcote. CND athletes and families can expect the same positive, supportive environment they know and love. Along with the same gym branding, uniforms, and CND vibes, athletes and families will now also benefit from the added strength and opportunities of being part of a broader national network enhancing gym operations, management, and coaching.
By joining forces with Melbourne Cheer Academy, Force Elite All Stars, and Storm Elite All Stars, Cheer N Dance Athletics will open doors to shared expertise, new athlete pathways, and fresh initiatives designed to positively inspire and support athletes of all levels.
For athletes and families with individual questions, Ashley and Kim welcome direct conversations and look forward to continuing to communicate and connect with the CND community as they finish 2025 and head into a stronger and bigger 2026.
