JOINING ZOO FEVER
The purpose of Zoo Fever is to bring together the top performers of the UK, creating the country's own Pom 'Super Squad'. Zoo Fever trains during monthly camps in Richmond Upon Thames, where the team prepares for Regional and National competitions in Pom Dance.
In addition, selected members (attend additional rehearsals to take part in paid event and performances, as well as performance duties for our sponsors, Cheerobics and Cannons Health Club.
Zoo Fever is run and coached by Jessica Rossi, who has been a cheerleading coach for six years and is a pioneer in bringing authentic cheerleading to a commerical platform in the UK, culminating in the creation of the unique fitness programme Cheerobics, now a UK-wide fitness sensation.
WORK
One of the benefits of being a professional cheerleading squad is paid appearances. Zoo Fever has a strong history of public and private appearances for a whole range of companies, brands and charities who want to inject some authentic Cheer into their events.
Zoo Fever Cheerleaders can expect anywhere between £50-£100 per appearance, depending on the client's budget and the nature of the event. Cheerleaders will be selected based on their availability and any particulars within the client's brief. Some paid appearances will fall within working hours, but are optional for all members.
