THANK YOU, TROOPS!
WELCOME, EVERYONE!
I would like to introduce myself, the owner, here at Arkansas Cheer Academy. My name is Candace and I am passionate about community, cheerleading, wellness, yoga, fitness, togetherness, and life itself.
I am honored to have built, alongside an amazing team of coaches, athletes, and parents, a family-like environment for so many of us to thrive and grow in.
I am continually inspired by the contagious work ethic, energy, and love inside of this community of coaches, athletes, and families.
And because these are people I deeply grow to love and care for through our shared experiences,
I believe I should include everyone in my endeavor to change the lives of others by guiding them to improve the lifestyle that so many of us have succumb to in modern day hustle and the ease of convenience.
I am on a mission to not only grow leaders and athletes through the incredible sport of all-star cheerleading, but am determined to inspire longevity of physical and mental health for a lifetime to come.
That being said

ALL STAR CHEERLEADING
Different from traditional cheerleading, athletes who participate in the sport of All-Star Cheerleading do not cheer for a team, they ARE the team.
The coaches create a competition routine, which includes the elements of tumbling, stunts, jumps, dance, and other skills set to music. Teams are organized by division (ages 4-18) and by level (1-5). We are proud to offer a team to every athlete from beginner entry-level to advanced.
We are proud to have claimed over 200 Championship Titles across the Nation in nine competitive seasons! Multiple teams of ours have received a bid to invitation only, prestigious events to compete amongst the best at The AllStar World Championship- Universal Studios and also at D2 Summit at Walt Disney World Resort.
TUMBLING
Tumbling classes for ages 3-25 are offered to beginner, intermediate, and advanced athletes. Our classes are geared towards coaching our athletes to perfect their skills by focusing on technique and performing strengthening exercises.
