Classes

All-Star Cheer & Pom

All-Star Cheer and Pom teams are typically comprised of 15-36 athletes with a variety of skills and abilities (much like a football or basketball team.) There can be solid, well-rounded athletes and those who have particularly strong abilities in certain areas (ex. - strong dancers or jumpers). The coaches create a competition routine performed by the group that has elements of tumbling, stunting, jumping, dance and dance skills depending on if it is a Cheer or Pom routine set to music.

The routines are typically 2 1/2 minutes in length. At competitions, the teams are divided by age and ability level. Routines are judged at competitions based on the level of difficulty, precision, creativity and entertainment value.

Jazz

Jazz is modern dance moves to a combination of the latest and retro music combined with technique, strength, flexibility and balance.
This class starts with a vigorous warm-up with lots of isometrics, isolations and stretching. Centre and corner work teach dance technical elements (e.g. kicks, turns, jumps, leaps and turns) and coordination.

The class concludes with a jazz routine, which incorporates stylized dance movements, formation changes, group work and dance technical elements; and teaches confidence through performance. Jazz routines will be entered into competitions.

Classical Ballet/Contemporary

Ballet is a specific academic dance form taught to classical music. Barre and centre work build technique, such as footwork, turn-out of the legs, beautiful extensions, correct alignment and grace. At Refine Cheer and Dance we teach the Borovansky syllabus, which is a Russian based method.

Ballet students will also learn contemporary style routines that will be entered into competitions.

While not every program is a perfect fit for every athlete, we believe that we have a solid program that is the right choice for everyone from the brand-new beginning athlete to the experienced-elite athlete.

Regardless of the gym you choose, All-Star cheerleading, pom and dance is a great way for young athletes to learn new skills while building teamwork, goal-setting, sportsmanship, and numerous other social skills while making lifelong friendships.
