DARYLYN ADAMS
Is a Principal Director of Cheer Dance n Acro Academy. My background in Dance and acro is extensive and varied.
I started my dancing life in Perth at the age of 2 years and was trained by some of the best teachers in Western Australia and South Australia. I studied RAD Ballet and CSTD Theatrical, Acrobatics, Tap and Ballet and passed exams to a very high level . I was also WA and SA Highland Dance Champion and National Champion and won many awards in both Highland and Irish Dancing, Theatrical, Ballet and Acrobatics.
From the age of 18yrs I travelled extensively and danced professionally throughout South East Asia, UK, Europe and the United States.
After settling in Broome with my family I opened a Dance School there in 1989 and taught all forms of dance and acrobatics to thousands of students over a 20 year period. Tammy came to Broome and coached for 5 years from 1999 to 2004 at my Dance n Acro School until she left to return to Perth.
After also re-locating to Perth we come together again to start Cheer Dance n Acro Academy in 2010.
Tammy has now moved on from Cheer Dance n Acro to pursue her dreams.
I have a wealth of experience and I am passionate about coaching children and enjoy seeing them happy and having fun whilst learning and doing the very best they can.
I love seeing their excitement when they learn a new skill.

I started dance when I was 10 at The Dance Collective doing all genres such as hiphop, jazz, contemporary and ballet but grew a real passion for ballet and decided to move studios to Swan River ballet and Katharine Mantle Performing Arts Academy to pursue my love for ballet, I also participated in ballet classes and shows at John curtin College of the Arts. In year 10 I auditioned for the contemporary dance program at John Curtin College of the Arts to commence training for year 11 on top of my ballet training. At Katharine Mantle I also grew a passion for acrobatics and tumbling as I was previously a gymnast prior to starting my dance journey, I decided to follow this interest in acrobatics and tumbling and join TNT Allstars Cheer in 2020. I developed such a love for cheerleading as it is dance and tumbling in one and it gave me such a thrill competing in competitions. I am currently in senior level 3 at TNT Allstars and excited to see where cheerleading will take me. I have always wanted to pursue a coaching career in acrobatics, dance and cheerleading as I love to share my experience and passion to others, aswell as my love for kids and being able to coach what I love to do and see the children reach their full potential.
MAYARN LITTLE-BELL
From a very young age I have developed a love and passion for all things to do with performing and the Arts. I started my journey as a young girl taking part in Drama and acting classes, which later grew into my now current passion for Musical Theatre, in which I hope to further develop and pursue a career in. I have done acrobatics and gymnastics from a young age, as well as cheerleading with CDA in 2016 and 2017, which sparked my love for working with children as I helped out as a junior coach. I have just graduated from John Curtin College of the Arts with a Cert II in Musical Theatre after being privileged enough to take part in the Musical Theatre Gifted and Talented program for the past 6 years. In 2019 and 2020 I took jazz, ballet and tap classes at K2 dance and have just started Ballet and Jazz at The Dance Collective. I recently played the lead role in “Bring it On the Musical,” which ignited my love for Cheerleading once again. It was amazing being able to bring back some of my old skills and incorporate it with Musical Theatre. I hope to one day pursue a career in Musical Theatre on stage or to be a Musical Theatre/dance teacher as I want to be able to inspire and encourage children to never give up on their dreams.
