Forget standing on a sideline shaking a pom pom... these classes are high energy and will push you harder then you though possible. Incorporating jumps, turns, motions, lifts and partner work, a pom class will drill technique into each student.  Competition teams require the student to be taking regular ballet and jazz classes to enhance technical execution. Teams have strict age limits, please ask for details.

Cheerleading - USASF

Join one of our highly successful and well regarded Cheer teams.  We have a team to suit all ages and ability levels. Competition teams focus on building a routine incorporating stunts, jumps, pyramids, tumbling and finish with a dance component. These teams are a highlight for many students.  Fun, friendship and learning new skills provide a rewarding year to both students and their families.  All competition team members must also take a designated tumbling class to enhance the overall composition of the cheer team.  Students are placed into a team based both on age and ability.
