Once upon a time, in the jazzy, jumbled, jigsaw puzzle of a state named New Jersey, there existed a boisterous bunch of super-groovy kids who twirled their days away in a magical activity known as Dance. They hailed from every corner of the Garden State, from the breezy beaches to the bustling cities, and from the lush farmlands to the towering pine forests. Now, these were not your average, ordinary kids. Oh no, they were led by their fearless, fun-loving, funky footwork leader, a mysterious being known only as Captain Boogie. With a shimmering disco ball for a head, and legs as bendy as a Slinky, Captain Boogie could do the worm like no one's business and moonwalk better than a man on the moon. The kids of New Jersey adored Captain Boogie. They would gather around him every day, their eyes wide with amazement as he showed them new moves, from the Electric Slide to the Floss. He had an uncanny knack of making every movement feel like an adventure, and the kids laughed heartily as they tried to mimic his signature shuffle. Despite their occasional two-left-feet moments, these kids were the heart and soul of New Jersey. They danced in grocery aisles, in school hallways, and even in their sleep. Their laughter echoed through the streets, their joy infused in the air, and their dances painted the sky with vibrant colors of rhythm and rhyme. Yes, the tiny New Jersey, brimming with these spirited jig-jiggers, was indeed a place where every day was a dance party. And it was all thanks to the magnificent, moonwalking, magic-making Captain Boogie!

TCA is a recreation cheerleading gym. We are a full year competitive program, not affiliated with any youth sports organization. Although we spent MANY successful years in the local AYF and Pop Warner circuit, we decided to remove the township boundaries and form our own programs. What started out as one team of 19 girls and quickly grew to 6 teams of over 100 athletes. We may be new to this performance recreation cheerleading world, but we are certainly NOT new. TCA is rapidly growing. In fact, in two short years we have had to upgrade to a second training facility. We currently offer competitive teams for ages 4-18, levels 1-4. Our main location has a beautiful new spring floor and can be rented out to local cheer teams at an affordable cost. So what makes TCA different than all of the other gyms in the area? We strongly believe that every single athlete has their own skillset to offer to one of our teams. Hard work most certainly trumps talent, when talent doesn't work hard. Our highly skilled coaching staff believes in putting the same effort into every single athlete. We believe in the art of perfection over progression and instill "Growth Mindset" in our every day activities. We can and we will.
