Pro- Cheer Dancer @shealitle

“The Let’s Kick It! experience was unlike any other, offering a comprehensive mind-body approach to pro cheer auditions. With a wide variety of classes and instructors, I was exposed to many different styles keeping me prepared for whatever came next. The Q&A sessions provided a supportive environment where I could ask any question I had to someone who had been in my shoes before. This judgement free zone allowed me to ease my thoughts and feel more prepared. Let’s Kick It! helped me build a confidence in myself and my dancing that set me up for success in the audition space!”

From hearing former pros speak on their experiences to learning choreography, it  was an incredibly insightful weekend of preparation.
