Our Cheer Academy offers both recreational and competitive classes in Pom Dance and Urban Cheerleading.
URBAN CHEER
Urban cheer is unique fusion of street dance and cheer, an exciting style from UKCA (United Kingdom Cheerleading Association). Think hip hop, locking, popping and more combined with cheer elements like jumps, tumbles and tricks.
POM DANCE
In our traditional Pom Dance classes we teach cheers and chants, body positions, arm motions, visual effects and JUMPS! We combine all these into energetic routines.
All cheer classes are fantastic for confidence building and team work. It's all about that team spirit!
TUMBLING SESSIONS
In our Saturday classes we also include tumbling sessions every few weeks. Our cheerleaders love this as we can safely assist them in learning tumbling skills on our mats and air tracks.
If you would like to do tumbling as a separate class, we offer that too so you can really master those skills. This class focuses on gymnastics skills, tumbling and hip hop tricks.
PERFORMING & RECOGNITION
Our cheer groups take part in the local Croft carnival each year which is a huge community event. In addition to this we have a performance and presentation at the end of January each year. We have annual cheer awards where cheerleaders receive a report, certificate and medal. Also a star cheerleader trophy is presented at the end of each class weekly.
COMPETITION TEAMS
If you excel in our recreational classes you may be invited to join one of our three competitions teams -
- LCA Unicorns (mini team - pom dance)
- LCA Pixies (junior team - urban cheer)
- LCA Dragons (senior team - urban cheer)
