Meet Shawna! Started cheerleading during high school and simply fell in love with it. After high school I began coaching at both junior and senior high schools. When all star cheerleading started in Edmonton I was so excited to become an athlete again and compete in competitions around Canada, the States and at the Cheerleading Worlds in 2011. With over 20 years of coaching experience, I have coached all levels and ages, from mini level 1 to open level 7 and everything in between, including tumbling classes and private lessons. Currently an International Cheer Union Facilitator and get to meet coaches from all over helping them continue their growth as a coach.  Cheerleading is a sport that is constantly changing, there is always something new to learn and each season I grow as a coach and gym owner. This season I get to start a new journey, not only as a coach but as a co-owner of Dynasty Cheer Allstars. Cheerleading has forever changed my life, it has become my passion and I am excited to see the sport grow in Calgary.

Meet Michael aka Mike. Started cheerleading in high school in my home town Saskatoon. Once I moved to Calgary I found myself involved with Xtreme Cheerleading where I was an athlete on the Coed Level 6 team for three years. Growing my love for the sport each year I also became involved in Roughnecks Drill Team, which included performances at home games. In 2008 I started with Pythons Cheerleading, during my time at Pythons I was an athlete for three years, and was a competitive cheerleading coach for six years. As an athlete I attended Worlds the three years I competed, however, even though I was finished competing I was not finished with the sport. I continued to coach all skill level ranging from youth to open. For the past two years I have had the privilege of coaching Senior 2 & 3 athletes, as well as coaching several private lessons varying in age and skill level. I cannot wait to continue my journey as a coach and to start my journey as a gym owner. I am excited to see the sport of cheerleading grow in Calgary.

I was first introduced to the sport of cheerleading in high school and after returning home from post-secondary I immediately became involved again with this amazing sport. Over the years I have been on a mixture of All Girl as well as Large and Small Coed Open teams for over 10 years. I have had the privilege of attending Worlds twice, and one of these years even making finals. Over the years my passion from being an athlete has developed into a passion of being a coach.  I have over 9 years of coaching experience from Tiny Novice up to Senior. The most beautiful thing about this sport is that its forever changing, and my favorite part of being a coach is watching each individual athlete grow in confidence and abilities.

Hi, my name is coach Kaila. I have been a cheer athlete for 10 years ranging from levels 1-3 and a junior coach for 3 years. This will be my 5th year being a part of the DCA family! I look forward to learning and growing as a coach as I work towards being certified.  

Hey there, I am coach Chèlise (aka Chi). I am one of the original Dynasty stunt group members from year 1 of DCA. I started cheer at the early age of 21 (better late than never). I have been on an open 4 co-ed with Power Cheer Edmonton and a level 5 quad with DCA. I also cheered for Thompson Rivers University competitive collegiate team. I am so excited to be back with my family at DCA and can't wait to become a fully certified cheerleading coach. My motto is "you are never to old to learn something new". This year I am looking forward to coaching some incredible and INVINCIBLE human beings! LET'S GO! 

I first started cheering in my first year of university with Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack Cheerleaders and I fell in love with the sport quickly. I was able to compete with the team for 5 years starting in level 4 and ending my time as an athlete competing level 7 and participating in University Worlds. My last year as an athlete I also started coaching and coached with the program for 2 years. I can't wait to join the Dynasty family and bring a little bit of my "collegiate spirit" with me.
