September means Back-To-Cheerleading, and the Power Cheer Gym is ready for a great season. PCG Viper teams start at 5 years old (Tiny/Mini) and run all the way up through Youth (7-11), Junior (8-14), Senior (12-18) and past University to the ‘Open’ division (17-Adult). There are four different levels of competitive teams, and novices are always welcome. The Vipers Special Needs program will also be starting their fifth year on September 8.
Sadly, there are no longer any competitive or stunt-based cheer teams at London high schools, but PCG is open and ready for all levels of high schoolers looking to get involved in this demanding and diverse performance sport. It is never too late to start Power Cheering. Call now: 519-667-0565. Or email PCG@PowerCheerGym.com.
The Academy
NEW at PCG at this year is The Academy, which we are proud to introduce. It’s an exciting new acrobatics, aerial arts and dance program that promises to be an awesome addition to the lineup at PCG.
The Academy will offer a year-round program for committed members of its performance team, as well as casual drop-in classes and specialty workshops open to the public. Members of the team will follow a structured acrobatic, aerial and dance syllabus, with their efforts culminating in live performances and participation at various dance competitions around Ontario.
Program Director Meaghan Wegg attended the National Circus School in Montreal and obtained diplomas in Circus Arts Performance and Professional Circus Coaching. Meaghan toured globally with Cirque du Soleil, The Seven Fingers, and various other international companies, and she’s now focused on coaching the next generation of dancers and acrobats through her work as Division Manager at Acrobatic Arts. Meaghan is also the founder of Move With The Beat dance competitions, and she looks forward to sharing her experience at The Academy @ Power Cheer Gym.
The Academy launches September 10. For more information, email Meaghan.coaching@gmail.com.
