CHEER PERFECTION

As anybody who's seen the classic cheerleading movie Bring It On knows, "this is not a cheerocracy." And the girls who attend classes at Sherwood, Arkansas, Cheer Time Perfection know that better than most. That's because the people of Sherwood, Arkansas, take cheering very, very seriously; it's what makes Cheer Time Perfection a successful cheer studio, and it's also what brings the drama. Under the tough tutelage of Cheer Time co-owner Alisha Dunlap, TLC's new series Cheer Perfection shows all the screaming, tears, tough love and elaborate routines it takes to get to the top of the competitive cheerleading world.
