CheerDance values are team work, growth, support and ensuring that there is a family feel at every session. During our sessions we incorporate the key foundations of both dance and gymnastics to create an environment in which children are challenged across the five core areas of sports performance. As ever, CheerDance will be tailored to challenge every individual child in an environment where they feel safe, full of enjoyment and can adopt essential life skills that could not otherwise be gained. For that reason, your child does not need prior experience to attend!

"My Daughter absolutely loves Cheerdance! Laura and team have been amazing and always ensure to include and encourage everyone in the class! Cheerleader of the week and of the month is a great recognition scheme in place in the class! The showcase in the summer was incredible and a great opportunity for everyone to be up on the stage performing - a credit to all the hard work Laura puts in!"
Lynsey Willingale

What is Cheerleading?

Cheerleading is one of the fastest growing sports in the UK. It is a team based sport which involves stunting (lifts), tumbling (gymnastics skills), jumps & dance across a combination of both individual and group skills. These skills are used to create a routine which can be used in performances, competitions and more. Recreational cheerleading allows children to experience all aspects of cheerleading without the pressures of competition. We offer all cheerleaders the opportunity to take part in inter-house competitions and performances throughout the year.

"My daughter absolutely loves the Cheerdance club she goes too. The confidence and skills she has learnt since going has been amazing. Laura is a fabulous coach. She is super friendly and inspires the girls to be brave and enjoy what they do. Laura puts so much time and energy into her classes and organising events for the girls to perform at. It is honestly the best club livvy has been too! The holiday clubs are amazing too. Livvy beams after she has been to any of the groups. I just wish she could do more.I would highly recommend."
