Berwick Primary School Grade 2 pupil and cheerleading superstar Aria Robinson has received the chance of a lifetime, after being selected to represent Australia in a cheerleading competition in the United States next year.
She has been selected to compete with other students Narre Warren dance school Royal All Star Cheer and Dance in The FINALS, a cheerleading competition set to be held in Orlando, Florida from May 2 to 4 next year.
Aria said she began cheerleading at Royal All Star Cheer and Dance at only six years of age.
She said her favourite thing about cheerleading was that she gets to go up high as she is a flyer or the one performer who is lifted up during a stunt.
Aria’s mother Ashleigh said going to America will be a dream come true for her daughter.
“Aria’s dedication and passion for cheerleading are incredibly inspiring to us as parents,” she said.
“She is constantly training, watching YouTube cheerleading tutorials at home, trying new stunts, repetitively perfecting new skills and diligently doing her morning and afternoon stretches.
“Whether at home or at cheer practice, Aria is always pushing herself to be the very best she can be.”
Aria is currently raising funds towards travel expenses, accommodation and competition fees, with $900 raised out of her $1500 goal at the time of publication.
