A warm welcome to all our newest athletes and families who joined us recently. We hope youâre settling in, making friends and enjoying your classes. The last month has been super busy with over 100 athletes trialling classes as well as our Bring a Friend week which has been amazing. Many teams are now full or close to capacity.
What weâve been up to! đ
During February our Cheer Sport and Cheer Advance teams have been learning basic foundations in stunting and basic shapes for tumble. Our new athletes are learning lots of new cheer terms such as âcleanâ, âlibâ, âthigh standâ and âback spotâ. Keep your eye out for a cheer terms glossary coming soon!
Our Cheer Elite athletes have been working on refining their basics and working out positions and stunt groups. Dance teams have been having fun learning new chorey each week while we get to know each other and meet new friends.
All our competitive teams are now focused on building on their foundation skills to develop their stunt sequences and components of their routines. It's not long now until our very first performance of the year in front of family and friends at our Showoffs Event in May.
Our new recreational stream is growing fast with Cheer Fun, Tumble Fun and Dance Fun classes being a great way for beginners to experience all star cheer and dance. We are loving our new Dance Fun class on Saturdays for recreational Pom dance. Click here to book a trial
Dance Fun for Adults! For adults interested in recreational dance classes we are looking to start a Jazz, Funk and Hip Hop class on Tuesdays nights in Term 2. If you're interested please get in touch!
