Hello Everyone, I am so excited you are here!

Welcome to our family

My name is Coach Bre, and I am simply in love with cheerleading & dance.

I was born and raised in Peoria, Illinois. I have earned the name Coach Bre through 28 years of experience. My background includes dance, ballet, cheerleading and coaching. I started ballet at the age of 7 and cheering at the age of 9. Some years were more challenging than the others. There were times I did not make the team. Even though I did not always make the team, I never stopped trying. "Never give up on something you love"

I had many wonderful experiences growing up and would like to share my knowledge and passion with the next generation. During my ballet career, I performed in the Nutcracker in Peoria Illinois with the Ballet company. I was a cheerleader in middle school and high school. My varsity years, I was chosen cheer captain. With hard work and dedication, I tried out for cheerleading in college and made the team! In fact, I received a Cheer Scholarship for the University of Missouri. It was a awesome experience and a honor to cheer at the collegiate level.

After college, I wanted to passionately pursue my love and creativity for cheerleading so I became a cheer coach. I've coached for local high schools in Saint Louis Missouri, Chicago Illinois and a few in Peoria Illinois. Currently, I am the Head Varsity Cheer Coach at Peoria Heights High School. Through all my experiences, I was able to learn diverse styles of cheerleading and dance. At every school where I have coached, we always brought home the coveted first place Banana at UCA Varsity Cheer Camp.

Throughout my 28 successful years of dancing, cheering and coaching, I have learned that cheerleading is such an amazing sport. Every state and even within each city, different styles of cheering is utilized. Also, I was able to experience many styles of dance under the umbrella of being a cheerleader. When I trained with the Saint Louis Rams Cheerleaders, we were professional cheerleaders and our routines included a variety of dance styles including hip hop, jazz, ballet, lyrical and majorette. Showcasing how cheerleading intertwines many styles of dance.

To be a professional cheerleader, you must be well rounded in many styles of cheerleading and dance. Us Cheerleaders have a saying, “Cheer Is Life”. Being a role model and a mentor naturally, cheerleading has become my life.

I pride myself on creativity, dedication, spirit and commitment to the children I serve. At Coach Bre Cottage, we are a family. We are more than just a cheer company, were empowering the next generation To Be Powerful and Make The World Super Cute ❤
