Cheerleading festival

XP/XP East cheer squad Explosion had the opportunity to work with Outwood Danum academy to showcase their cheer routines and take part in a stunt workshop. The students in the cheer squad have been working really hard since September to develop their skills and this showed during the workshop. It was an amazing evening of fun, enjoyment and new learning. We hope the cheer squad continues to grow and develop.

Well done everyone
