CheerDance is an enthusiastic, encouraging and empowering recreational cheerleading programme which has been running since 2018. Our aim is to provide an environment where children feel confident and inspired within all areas of cheerleading. We are excited to welcome you to our CheerDance Family.
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!
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.

We have a total of 5 teams which are based in Gloucester, Hucclecote & Tuffley. Teams are split by age group to allow for appropriate skill development. Sessions will follow a similar layout but will be tailored to the children's skills and ability.

Mini’s focus on the foundation skills needed for all elements of cheerleading. They work on tumbling- rolls, handstands, cartwheels, bridges, floor or gut level stunts, jumps and pom-pom routines.
