My three daughters have been with Dorset Dragons for just over a year now and absolutely love it. Their enthusiasm spills over into the rest of their free time when they constantly practise together as they are so motivated to improve. They have made so much progress with Emma and the other coaches and enjoy every minute of their sessions. Emma creates a safe, friendly environment for everyone where differences become strengths and each individual is valued. We cannot praise Emma highly enough for what she achieves with her team. If you are looking for an exciting sport which builds fitness, gymnastic skill and team spirit whilst nurturing self confidence try out cheerleading with Dorset Dragons.
My daughter has been with Dorset Dragons Cheerleaders since 2010. She has competed with the Dragons Nationally since 2011. When she started she was very shy and lacking in confidence. What a difference this program has made. Her confidence now has grown and she is no longer shy in coming forward. Emma and the other coaches are fantastic and patient. My daughter loves the family atmosphere and has made many friends. She has acheived so much here. It is fun and keeps you fit at the same time. I would highly recommend the Dorset Dragons. Try it once and you will be hooked.Moreexpand_more
The dragons programme is exceptional i have been cheering for 5 years now and been with different squads. Emma is a true professional in what she does, she makes sure everyone is aware of what is happening before it happens. Safety is paramount in cheer leading and emma does an awesome job of making sure every precaution is taken. Everyone should come and check it out.
My nine year old daughter joined the squad in June after attending some taster sessions at Ashdown Leisure centre that Emma was running. She loves the Monday training session where she has learnt new skills, and is the first out of bed on Sundays for squad training! I feel long term being part of the DRAGONS squad will do so much for my daughter's confidence and self esteem. Emma is extremely motivated and passionate about the squad and is fantastic at communicating with everyone through various methods. As a family we are all looking forward to attending the DRAGONS first competition in November!
Emma came to Ashdown Technology College to do some Cheer leading Taster workshops and the students loved it. She was very professional and provided an exciting and fun workshop and ensured all students were taking part safely. She is an excellent leader and i would recommend the sessions she takes as she knows her stuff! Big thank you for the workshops.
I've been in the Dorset Dragon's senior team for about 10 weeks now and i feel very much part of the Dragons family. Being a part time gymnast and trampolinist its what i really enjoy! Everyone is so welcoming and the working atmosphere is just right. Emma is really kind and understanding and i cant fault anything to do with the Dragons! I would definitely suggest it for any gymnasts or dancers or even people who have no previous experience. :) D. R. A. G. O. N. S!
I am part of the competition squad, skills night and display squad and I find them all really fun! The environment is great and the people involved are so friendly. Emma the coach is amazing, she makes us all feel good and keeps us motivated! Since I have started I have gained a lot more confidence. When I started i had no cheer experience but since I have been part of Dorset Dragons, I have learnt lots about team work and all the stunts! I am very grateful for Emma for starting such an awesome cheer squad.
I am a member of the Dorset Dragons, and can honestly say its great! Emma makes it very enjoyable, as well as being totally safe. The hall in which we train, is well equipped for a cheerleading squad, with high ceilings a sprung floor! Emma knows alot about cheerleading, which helps when teaching others to be great cheerleaders, which im sure, in time, we will all be! Cheerleading with the Dragons isnt just fun, we take every session seriously, with high hopes for the future competitions! GO DRAGONS! X.
I have now been in all 3 All Star Cheerleading Squads in the Dorset area, and this is by far the best. Poole Dolphins was dreadful in many aspects, Bournemouth Twisters Cheer Academy was good, but Dorset Dragons will be by far the best in many ways. I love the teaching methods-we make progress really quickly and I am learning so much. Coach Emma is friendly, motivating and dedicated. I am looking forward to finally getting to compete in a Cheer division with a soon to be fantastic squad!
I am a member of Dorset Dragons Allstars and am in the senior team. I would reccommend joining the squad to anyone who is interested in dance, gymnastics or stunting. No experience is nessisary to join as full training can be given by our highly experienced and dedicated coach. All that is asked for people wishing to join the competition squads is that people are commited and enthusiastic. The training sessions are great fun, and are a great way to keep fit and flexible. We train in a well equipped gymnastics hall with sprung floor which is good to prepare us for the sprung floor at competitions. We are currently working towards our first competition in November this year which i am really excited about. (Having been to cheerleading competitions with my previous cheer squad, i know what an amazing feeling it is to be out on the floor dancing infront of thousands of people and the adrenelie rush you get) Dorset Dragons are expanding and progressing so quickly and i'm really proud to be part of such a professional and friendly organisation.
