About Us

MORE THAN A GYM. ONE ELITE FAMILY.

Building Confidence. Developing Character. Creating Champions.

Welcome to Tri-Cities Elite Cheer & Dance!

At TCE, we're passionate about creating opportunities for athletes of all ages and experience levels to discover what they're capable of. From competitive All-Star Cheer and Dance to recreational tumbling, jumps, stunting, and specialty classes, we offer a place for athletes to explore their interests, develop their abilities, and find something they love.

We're proud to be a family-oriented gym with a competitive spirit, experienced coaches, and high standards. Whether your athlete dreams of taking the competition floor or simply wants to learn a new skill, there's a place for them here.

You don't have to compete to belong at TCE!

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to provide quality instruction in a positive, structured environment that promotes athletic development, confidence, and character.

We are committed to teaching proper technique, encouraging a strong work ethic, and helping athletes understand the importance of dedication, respect, and accountability.

Our goal is to give every athlete the tools they need to succeed, not only in cheerleading, dance, or tumbling, but in the challenges they face beyond the gym.

WHAT MAKES TCE DIFFERENT?

HIGH EXPECTATIONS. REAL PROGRESS.

At TCE, we believe good coaching means more than teaching a routine or helping an athlete master a skill.

Our coaches take the time to teach proper technique, explain corrections, and encourage athletes to take ownership of their progress. We don't believe in rushing skills simply to check them off a list. We want our athletes to develop the strength, understanding, and consistency needed to perform them confidently and safely.

We also believe athletes are capable of more than they sometimes realize. That's why we challenge them, hold them accountable, and teach them to work through difficult moments.

We celebrate accomplishments, but we also recognize the effort, patience, and determination it takes to get there.

Our expectations are high because our belief in our athletes is even higher.

FIND YOUR PLACE AT TCE

COMPETITIVE TEAMS. RECREATIONAL CLASSES. ENDLESS OPPORTUNITIES.

Not every athlete has the same goals, and we don't believe they should have to.

Some athletes thrive in the excitement of competition. Others enjoy coming to the gym once a week to tumble, improve their jumps, learn stunting techniques, or stay active.

Our programs include:

  • All-Star Cheer: Competitive teams for athletes ready to commit to the challenges and excitement of All-Star Cheerleading.

  • Competitive Dance: Dance opportunities focused on technique, performance, and creativity.

  • Tumbling: Classes designed around current skill levels, from beginners working on fundamentals to athletes developing more advanced skills.

  • Jump & Stunt Classes: Specialized instruction to strengthen technique and prepare athletes for cheerleading.

  • Agility & Conditioning: Athletic development for athletes participating in a variety of sports.

  • Clinics & Specialty Classes: Additional training opportunities, including preparation for school cheerleading tryouts.

Athletes can participate in classes without being members of a competitive team.

THE TCE FAMILY

MORE THAN PRACTICES AND COMPETITIONS

Some of our favorite TCE memories happen outside of routines and competitions.

From gym celebrations and holiday parties to team traditions, community events, and simply spending time together, we love creating opportunities for our athletes and families to connect.

We want our gym to be a place where athletes look forward to walking through the doors, where friendships develop naturally, and where families feel welcomed.

Our TCE family includes competitive athletes, recreational class athletes, parents, siblings, and coaches. Each is an important part of the community we're building.

A NOTE FROM OUR OWNER 💗

BUILT WITH PASSION. LED WITH HEART.

When I started Tri-Cities Elite, I had a vision of creating something that was about so much more than cheerleading and dance. I wanted to build a place where kids could walk through the doors and feel like they belonged. A place where they could be themselves, make mistakes, find their confidence, build friendships, and discover just how much they are capable of.

As a mom, I know how much it means to trust someone else with your child. You're not just signing them up for a class or a competitive team. You're trusting us with their confidence, their experiences, their dreams, and a little piece of their childhood. That is something I will never take lightly.

I won't tell you that every day at TCE is easy. There are hard practices, frustrating moments, tears, and days when things just don't go the way we planned. I'm a coach who believes in high expectations, accountability, and pushing athletes to be the very best they can be. But behind every correction, every challenge, and every expectation is a coach who genuinely believes in these kids and wants to see them succeed.

And some of my favorite moments have absolutely nothing to do with winning.

It's watching a child who was once too shy to speak find the confidence to perform in front of a crowd. It's seeing an athlete finally land a skill they've worked on for months. It's the laughter during practice, the friendships that form, the hugs after a hard day, and the excitement on their faces when they realize they've accomplished something they once thought was impossible.

Those are the moments that remind me why I started TCE.

I know the sacrifices our families make. I see the long evenings, the busy schedules, the financial commitments, and the parents who show up over and over again to support their children. I appreciate those sacrifices more than you'll ever know.

My hope is that years from now, when these athletes look back on their time at TCE, they remember more than routines, scores, or trophies. I hope they remember the friendships, the laughter, the lessons, and the people who believed in them. I hope they remember that they were part of something special.

Whether your child is here for one class a week or spends their season competing with us, I want them to know they matter. Every athlete who walks through our doors becomes part of the story we're building.

TCE has become such a big part of my heart and my family's life, and I am incredibly grateful for every family who chooses to be part of it.

Thank you for trusting me, trusting our coaches, and allowing us to be a small part of your child's story. It truly means more than words can express.

With love,
Coach Neisha
Owner & Director
