Community is the
Heart of what we do!
At The Cheer and Dance Connection (TCDC), community is at the heart of everything we do. We’re more than a place to take cheerleading and dance classes in Northern Colorado—we’re a program that celebrates teamwork, inclusivity, and connection. From beginner cheer and dance programs to advanced performance teams, we make sure every athlete has a chance to shine, both in the studio and in the community.

Cheer on the Community!
Being a cheerleader means more than cheering on your own team—it’s about bringing joy and spirit to others. Our TCDC Gems love performing throughout the community, giving beginner and experienced athletes alike the chance to share their talent.
These opportunities give our athletes real performance experience beyond the studio, while showing what it truly means to be a cheerleader—someone who cheers on their community.
At TCDC, we believe in supporting the next generation—not just of athletes, but of leaders. That’s why we partner with local high schools through the Xello Program.
Through this partnership, high school students can:
Earn credit while working with our program.
Explore coaching, early childhood education, special education, dance, and cheer careers.
Gain real-life experience in a supportive environment.
By opening our doors to student interns, we help future coaches and teachers grow while staying connected to the heartbeat of Northern Colorado.
