Dakota Spirit has such a great program! Their teams are not only extremely competitive, but also very kind and supportive of other programs and teams.

We are new to cheer and I feel like the coaches have been very patient, understanding, and truly care about my kids. My boys especially adore Gracelynn (they talk nonstop about her!) ☺️ and my daughter’s coaches, Lauren & Sydnie, have watched out for her when she’s really needed it. ♥️ Regardless of your child’s skill level, they will feel welcomed here by the wonderful coaches.

Our daughters have loved their time at Dakota Spirit. Not only have they gained skills in cheerleading and tumbling, but they have learned valuable life lessons, including dedication, persistence and the teamwork.

Dakota Spirit was my second home for 13 years and I couldn’t have asked for a better family! Coaches have always been supportive and caring towards athletes. Definetely a great place to send your kids to not only learn the sport of cheerleading, but also other necessary life skills.

I cheered at DS for six years through middle and high school. This program didn’t just make me a strong athlete—it helped shape my character too. The coaches always had our best interests at heart. Looking back now in my early 20s, I’d do it all over again!

My daughter cheered at this gym for 10+ years. These coaches put their hearts and souls into their athletes, and my daughter is who she is today because of this program. Not only that, but 6 years after graduating from HS her coaches still keep in touch with her. I can’t say enough good things about this gym. Being a part of Dakota Spirit is having a lifelong family. ❤️💙
