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. 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. CheerDance U10’s focus on the foundation skills needed for all elements of cheerleading. Cheerleaders will work on tumbling- rolls, handstands, cartwheels, bridges, floor or gut level stunts, jumps and pom pom routines. All cheerleaders have the opportunity to take part in several performances throughout the year, including our winter and summer showcase. Our showcases will bring together children from the CheerDance Programme and our after school clubs to celebrate their achievements and perform to family and friends.
