Tennessee Starz Cheer and Dance Academy has opened at 227 W. Bernard Ave.
The owner-instructor is JoEllen Kenney.
The Academy will teach cheer squads, dance teams, pom-pom squads, tumbling, and competition squads year-round.
It also will offer boys' tumbling, hip hop classes, and adult classes.
Kenney was cheerleading coach at Tusculum College for four years and in Utah was a former member of a high school national championship-winning cheer squad.
She said, "I feel that with all my experience, I know what it takes to be a champion cheerleader or dancer, and I would like to give youth in the area the opportunity to experience the same."
Registration is on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. There is a $30 registration fee, with classes costing from $25 to $45 a month.
Kenney's telephone number is 525-4218.
