My family discovered Texas Dynasty Cheer & Gymnastics two years ago through their Saturday play…read moredays for kids. My 3-year-old David loved going to the Saturday free play times, and I personally enjoyed his enthusiasm for the gym as a former cheerleader myself. I know that tumbling, gymnastics, and cheer are sports that teach foundational and fundamentals of movement that are applicable across so many other sports, and it is all very important to balance, coordination, and confidence in children to learn these types of movements. My child was very attached to my wife who is an amazing stay-at-home mom, and we feared putting him in a class where we thought he would not do well being apart from mom, yet we knew it was best for him. That was when we went to a Saturday where Madison Higdon entered my family's life, and what a blessing she has been. My son was instantly drawn to Madison as she came over to show him some trampoline movements, and then she stopped to take the time to speak with my wife and I. We both expressed our trepidation with putting him into a class, however Madison was confident that she could make it a place that David would love. Madison was professional and provided answers to every question we had as parents. Madison then got us connected with all the information to get David enrolled, and after we left, we signed him up that day. We were so impressed with Madison that we did not use the free class, but instead bought fully into her confidence as a couch for the toddler class that we booked David for TWO classes a week. We made sure that Madison was the coach for the class, and from that moment on my son was hooked! Madison engaged with our son, taught him the foundations of movement, and made it fun. Our son took to coach Madison immediately and began to learn the days of the week just so he knew when Tuesday and Thursday were coming since those were his days with Madison at the gym. The treasure of finding a young adult who is so fantastic with the most precious human in our life is unquantifiable, and we were so impressed with how Madison presented much older than her actual age. The value of this class Madison provided was manifestly present in my child's physical evaluation when entering school. The school he attends is a private school that evaluates children for physical movement since there is a trend in child development where children are lacking basic physical movements from being on devices more than ever instead of outside playing. David shined, and the school asked what we had specifically done to prepare David. The thanks is largely in part to Madison at Texas Dynasty Cheer for teaching David how to jump with two feet and land, tumble, coordination of stepping, and the confidence to try new physical challenges. Madison has become a cherished member of our family, and my son still speaks of Madison weekly. Every day we came to Texas Dynasty, David was greeted by name and the staff looked forward to seeing David which of course makes a child feel special and cared for. David and Madison bonded in a way that would make any parent so thankful to experience, and a value can't be placed on a compassionate, caring, skilled, and professional young adult such as Madison. This is a young adult who is contributing to society in an age group that seldom shines as bright as Madison does. Since this experience, my wife and I have pointed countless people to Texas Dynasty and we can say confidently that is only due to Madison. The family of coaches are all great, but for us Madison was the coach my son, wife, and I adored and grew to trust. Bottom line: Get involved at Texas Dynasty and experience a family who loves, values, and leads your child to skills that will last a lifetime! Hopefully you're lucky enough to have Madison as a coach!

My daughter was kicked off the competitive cheer team due to me bringing up how my daughter was…read moredropped for an hour straight. (She's a flyer) instead of the owner going and helping the group of kids instead she was on her phone. Once I said something about it she then got up got loud and defensive and decided to go back and fourth about the situation, brought other parents into the conversation, etc. She contacted me 2 days later 30 mins before practice through text message letting me know my daughter was kicked off the team instead of saying that to me the whole hr she went back and fourth with me in person at the gym. I raised over $600 for fundraising. The money was never credited to my account and she refuses to refund it. The practice wear we paid for was hand me downs from years ago. We pay choreography fees and had a choreographer one time. Us and several other teams received last place every competition. All the effort is put into Godspeed so if you're not on that team good luck. Other teams that received first only received that place because they didn't have any competitors. D'Ann (the owner) favorite thing to say is that she's the owner like nobody knows. Humble yourself ma'am. She also shows favoritism to all the kids that she coached their parents. So if she didn't coach you don't take your child here or you're not going to be treated equally. Safety is a last priority in this place. Skills don't matter when it comes to team. Your child can backhand spring and be on a team with someone who can't cartwheel.
