My name is Michelle Berg, I grew up in Newberg, OR. I have a dance, gymnastics, and cheerleading background. I was a member of the performing company here at Chehalem Valley Dance Academy all three years of middle school and did gymnastics at a few gyms around the area for 6 years. I then chose to switch gears to combine both my talents and begin cheerleading at Newberg High School where I was on the Varsity team for four years coached under my amazing mother, Lisa Berg. Also during high school I was a member of the all star cheerleading gym Oregon Dream Teams where I was on their Senior Level 5 team and competed in the Cheerleading Worlds three years in a row. After high school I made the National Cheerleaders Association Staff and taught high school cheerleading camps all over the west for three years. I made the University of Oregon Cheerleading’s dance team in 2009 where I was a dancer for four years and captain my senior year. In that time I performed at four BCS bowl games and traveled all over the country to cheer on my favorite team, the Oregon Ducks. When I wasn’t in class or in Autzen, my junior and senior year I coached Marist Catholic High School’s Varsity cheerleading team. I was recruited my senior year of college by the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders and auditioned for their team in 2013 and 2014, making it to finals both times. I graduated from the University of Oregon with a Bachelor of Science in Sociology and I’m currently the University of Oregon Cheerleading’s dance coach. I have a passion for dance, cheerleading and gymnastics and I’m very excited to work here at my old dance studio that was the foundation to all of my achievements!
