About Us
Andrea Ploehn
Andrea took gymnastics from Olympic gymnast Missy Marlow until she was 14 years old and then went on to dance with Utah Jazz Dancer Monica Mayo through high school.
She helped choreograph the routine that won their Cheerleading team 1st place at the USA High School Cheer nationals in Florida. After high school she went on to cheer in college at Ricks/BYU-I. She has also judged dance and cheer competitions and tryouts for dance and cheer teams for over 5 years.
Andrea is currently an assistance Drill Coach at Stansbury High School, a Parent Infant Advisor to the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, and has taught Acro and Tumbling for over 25 years.
“I’ve learned how to break things down and make it easier for kids to understand how to do each skill. I work the kids a lot on technique and form. We run drills with repetition until their bodies just naturally do what it’s supposed to. I’ve gotten good at seeing the little things that need fixing so the students can progress and get the skills faster. I focus a lot on being positive and boosting kids self-esteems. I dont love it when kids are standing in line during class, so we are constantly moving and working. We do rotations and obstacle courses, strength training and fun challenges".
I try to make my classes the happiest, most fun time the kids have each week!”
