POP! Clinics were created to introduce a new, unique concept of fusing performance cheer (motions, etc.) and dance instruction in one clinic setting. Through teaching a series of classes by various cheer and dance professionals, we combine both all-star/performance cheer and selected styles/genres of dance in one fun and energetic instructional environment. POP! Clinics are exclusive of any tumbling and stunting elements, but will incorporate some tricks with the addition of actual DANCE. Who's ready to get POPPIN'?!
