HI all! I just wanted to share with you all the great experience I had this year with my daughter at DC cheer. My daughter had just turned 4 in the fall and I had a hard time finding a local place that would take her into a cheer program so young. She dances at Stacey's Dance Studio(which we love!) and we heard about DC cheer from Stacey's Dance studio. We originally went for tumbling classes. We met Coach Terri and Coach Lindi ,who coach the younger girls. They told us all about the DC cheer show team for 4-7 year olds. My daughter was so excited to try a cheer squad. They meet 2 days a week, Mondays and Tuesdays at 4:15. They were only 7 girls so between 2 coaches and 2 assistants they got plenty of one on one time. My daughter was the youngest,all the others were 6 and 7…but they made sure she kept up with the big girls.
))They worked on back bends,cartwheels,and all other basic tumbling skills. They learned a cute cheer/dance routine and got to attend 3 cheer shows this year,which were so much fun! They are a SHOW team ,which means they do not get judged. They get participation trophies. The other moms were super nice ladies(not at all crazy  
sycho cheer moms) and the other little girls were very sweet to my daughter. I was so pleased with this experience at this gym. Another bonus, is right on Northpark(behind Showcase carpets) so it is super close to our house. My daughter loved her coaches and her squad. They are registering now for the fall and we will certainly be doing another year. They are no tryouts for their show team, just have to register. I rarely ever post on Forums,but I had a hard time finding this place and I wanted to share.
