My name is Dessirae and I am the owner of Sutherlin Competitive Elite. On my free time I love to go to the coast and spend an abundance amount of time with my family. Family is extremely important to me and that’s what I love about starting this program for the Sutherlin community. It has created a second family for kids to feel safe, loved and cared for. My #1 goal is to build confidence, character and motivation in our youth. It’s easy to loose site of these these things, so constant reminders of their value and acceptance is hugely important. I have years of dance experience as I taught at La Pine Academy of dance for many years. Prior to teaching I was on the Sweet Sensations jazz drill team for 17 years. I cheered all four years in high school and went to the University of Montana for Dance. I want nothing more than to share the same experiences I got to with as many kids as I can.

My name is Shelby. I am a mom to one sweet girl and she and my family are everything to me. I am also a registered nurse and I have my BLS and ACLS certifications. When I have free time I love to spend time with my family. My daughter has taken classes and cheered with SCE since Dessirae opened the studio. With her deep love of cheer, I have spent countless hours learning how to support her growth as an athlete. It is because of my daughter that I am helping out at SCE now. My hope is to help the kids at SCE progress as athletes and to watch their joy and confidence grow.

I’m so excited to be part of shaping and molding these kids into wonderful cheerleaders and appreciate the opportunity to do so.
