Chi-Town Cheerleaders

chi-towncheerleaders.org Founders / Coaches: Paulette Franklin and Ayesha El-Amin Calhoun For over 19 years, CHI-TOWN Cheerleaders have been flipping, dancing and cheering in the Chicagoland area plus several of states, such as Florida, Tennessee, Ohio, and Minnesota.  But in Chicago, they are the preferred All-Star team in Chicago by Mayor Richard M. Daley.

Behind the direction of Coach Paulette Franklin, who ranks among the top five coaches in the nation for her leadership in dance, and Ayesha El-Amin Calhoun, who is a national award winning coach with expertise in tumbling, dance, and choreography, the team has soared through the clouds headed for the stars. 

Talk about a perfect compliment of guidance that is making every attempt to take their children to the next level.

And from their vision, plus dedication of parents, they have captured tons of awards and recognitions, including Junior Olympic Champions winning Gold, Silver and Bronze medals and most recently captured three first place titles at the State of Illinois championship at Northern Illinois University, to name a couple.  They are also two time Dance Grand Champions at the Wild Jam in Peoria.

They have three teams: Doves (level 1); Diva's (level 3) and Showstoppers (level 5), and their ages range from 5 to 17.  The team is mostly made up of Chicago Public School students.

CHI-TOWN has developed a cooperative program with the Chicago Public Schools and Park Districts to facilitate a successful fitness and athletic program for the team.

CHI-TOWN provides family entertainment for all events and occasions. If you are interested in a performance for your event, or would like to sponsor the team, please call (773) 863-1142, or visit them online at www.chi-towncheerleaders.org
