Team Dance Academy

George Balachine said:
“I don't want people who want to dance, I want people who have to dance.”

TDA became a sibling entity to CSA in 2001 with the help of Jori Wade (now Jori Wade-Booth). Jori has coached the University of Northern Iowa's Dance squad to successful competitions annually from 1999–2005.

Allow our instructors to help your team remember why they “have to dance!” In the process, they will learn basic, essential, technical elements to create a successful season.

Tell us what you need and we will tailor your Dance Camp to you. Our assignment: help your team learn and grow as one unit rather than a few individual dancers.

Cheerleading Stunt Academy

Our Slogan:
“We build spirit!”

The Cheerleading Stunt Academy came to fruition in January of 1999 in the hands of James Wegener (not a stunting pun). Jim was a cheerleader at Waterloo West and the University of Northern Iowa (1993–1998), where he met—and later married—Melissa Lindberg, who also was a UNI Cheerleader. They are now a family of four and are very involved in their community and church.

He and his wife Melissa, “Missy,” have both worked for Cheerleading Instruction Companies (UCA & NCA), and put together a hybrid company based off of their experiences.

Their combined coaching and cheerleading experiences involve:

  • High School
  • University
  • and All-Star Squads

New and Creative transition stunts are taught at all skill levels to make sure your squad is cutting edge.

Our focus on Stunting Technique provides opportunities for your team to reach their goals. It's the little things—attention to detail—that make basic, intermediate, and advanced stunts more efficient and safe.

Join us at our Cheerleading Competitions or invite us to your School for a Private Camp, and we'll create a custom plan for your squad's needs.
