Cheer and Dance
In recent years we have introduced Cheer and Dance in to our Schools Sports Coaching programme, which has been hugely successful and is continuing to expand. We are able to offer a variety of cheer and dance provisions for your school, including:
Cheer and Dance Workshops that are different each week
After school Clubs where participants will be able to learn a routine broken down over the term with a chant
Lunchtime Club, which is a simple fun session for a set age group.
Cheerleading is a unique athletic discipline, also known as “The Sport of Smiles” and this is the feeling children get when they participate. It is fun, filled with lots of high energy. It is equally popular with girls and boys and gives children team bonding skills and encourages them to raise their own confidence.
We currently have qualified UKCA and BGU coaches level 3+ for the following skills – Stunts, Tumbling, Tosses and Dance.
Our Early Years and Keystages 1-4 cheerleading classes incorporate all the elements of cheerleading including cheers, chants, cheer arm motions, pom dance, cheer jumps, and all levels of basic cheer skills. Cheer stunts including lifts and pyramids can be delivered at certain sessions depending on equipment. Chants and cheers can also be adapted to include the individual school name or team and can be used at school sporting events.
The children can also work towards gaining their Spirit Awards, where the group have a set number of weeks to learn moves, cheers and chants. On the final week, the group will do a performance where they receive their certificate of achievement.
