Calendar ATLANTA DEC 14 All Star Challenge: Cheer & Dance National Championships The two-day All Star Challenge: Cheer & Dance National Championships is a showcase for the country's finest young tumblers, stunters, jumpers, pom-shakers, and pyramid makers. Held at Georgia International Convention Center, this year's show is dubbed "Battle Under the Big Top," with many high school and college acts following a circus theme in a variety of contests, cheering toward thousands of dollars in cash prizes. Performing on a 54' by 42' spring floor in Jazz, Pom, and Hip Hop categories, teams of at least five will lift your spirits and cheer your soul with gravity-defying performances, judged not solely upon the sum of their parts but on overall entertainment value and superior technical athleticism. In other sports, if you miss the catch, all you drop is the ball. Hopefully nobody drops the belle. $20; allstarchallenge.com BOSTON DEC 16 Boston Tea Party Annual Reenactment Celebrating one of America's most iconic public protests (centuries before Occupy Wall Street and the March on Washington), the 240th Anniversary Boston Tea Party Annual Re-enactment invites guests to indulge their patriotism in an action-packed evening of United States history. A bitter reaction to harsh new British taxation acts, the Boston Tea Party of 1773 sparked the American Revolution, starting with a fiery debate at Old South Meeting House and culminating in the dumping of 45 tons of British-imported East India tea into Boston Harbor by Samuel Adams, John Hancock, Paul Revere, and the Sons of Liberty. Guests will visit the actual historical sites in a fully nar- rated and spirited presentation performed by professional actors, beginning at 6:30 p.m. Don't forget to cheer "Huzzah" when each chest of tea is cracked open and dumped overboard. Before government shutdowns and sit-down protests, this was how America forged its future and fortune. $20; boston teaparty2013.bpt.me LAS VEGAS DEC 28 UFC 168: Weidman vs. Silva 2 at the MGM Grand How will the UFC celebrate its 20th anniversary in the fight biz?
