PRESCHOOL CHEERLEADING CLASSES

CHEERY O'S

Ages: 4-5 years


PHILOSOPHY

“From bows to toes” in the Kids FIrst Cheer and Dance program, we...

  • offer a positive and age appropriate environment for learning cheerleading related skills. Encouraging not discouraging
  • teach progressions and proper technique to ensure safety.
  • help our athletes set realistic goals for themselves, teaching that success does not come without careful planning & hard work.


WHY ARE WE DIFFERENT?
Some straight talk about cheerleading: In this age of reality TV shows and rampant sensationalism, Kids First Cheer and Dance takes a giant step forward by taking a small step back... Revealing uniforms, overdone makeup and suggestive dance moves have become commonplace in the cheer world... but that’s where we break away from the pack! We prefer to maintain a wholesome, value-centered, educational approach to cheer. Our focus remains on safety, teamwork, relationships and the amazing health benefits of cheer. Face it, children grow up fast enough—we choose to make the childhood years a natural, untainted adventure... without artificial additives.
