All about our Team

The History of Dancing Angels Dance Academy.

April 1999- Coach Tanara brought the Team to Life. Our 1st year was alot of Fun!

THE SCHOOL IS PRIMARILY BASED ON THE FUNDAMENTALS OF CHEERLEADING AND ADVANCE SKILLS OF COMPETITIVE POM/HIP HOP DANCE. ALL OF THE CLASSES ARE UNDER THE DIRECTION OF CHOREOGRAPHER TANARA B. ROUZAN.

THE DANCING ANGELS CHEERLEADING AND DANCE ACADEMY IS LOCATED IN EAST NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA. WE BEGIN TAKING STUDENTS AT THE AGE OF 4 1/2 YEARS. OUR ADVANCE PROGRAM ALLOWS STUDENTS TO COMPETE UNTIL THE AGE OF (17) YEARS. AFTER THE STUDENT HAS COMPLETED THE CHEER/DANCE PROGRAM, SHE IS INTERVIEWED AND PLACED ON THE RECOMMENDATION LIST TO BECOME PART OF THE COACHING TEAM.

THE DANCING ANGELS CHEER AND DANCE PROGRAM DOES NOT ONLY OFFER THE ART OF CHEER AND DANCE TO THE STUDENTS, WE ALSO OFFER AND PRODUCE A FEELING OF SELF CONFIDENCE, MOTIVATION, AND ASSURANCE. WE LIVE BY OUR MOTTO: "ANYONE CAN DANCE BUT IT TAKES A WINNER TO FLY LIKE AN ANGEL."

This is why we're HoTT!!
