GEZELLE BARHAM
Cheer: Accredited IASF Coach, Dance, Pom Choreography
We are very lucky here at Bradshaw to have Australia's leading Pom coach and choreographer working with our athletes.
Pom is an exciting form of dance which is rapidly growing in popularity across Australia. She coaches every age group and ALL Bradshaw teams are National Champions in Pom. While she also coaches across all styles of dance, Miss Gezelle is at the forefront of Pom choreography and brings energy and fun to her younger student's classes along with a wealth of knowledge. Her hands-on approach makes her popular with our younger students, and instills in them a sense of team spirit and sportsmanship - a vital part of the sport.
Gezelle's Open Pom team has claimed first-place finishes at the NDA International Championships in Daytona, USA, and the HKCU Asia Pacific Championships in Hong Kong, as well as a Bronze Medal at the 2013 Dance Worlds. Her Pom Doubles also earned a Bronze Medal at the 2015 International Cheer Union (ICU) World Championships.
Most recently, she had the privilege of coaching Australia’s first-ever All Abilities Unified Pom Team at the ICU World Championships, where the team made history by winning the Gold Medal.
Gezelle is also our Head Cheer coach. Coming from a competitive gymnastic background she now coaches all age groups of cheerleading, both recreational and competitive and is fully accredited. Our cheer program is very successful and growing fast thanks to Miss Gezelle's fun classes and her amazing high energy routines. She shares a passion for the sport with her athletes. She is a hands on coach and our students gain amazing new tumbling skills week to week under her guidance.
In 2016 Gezelle was cheer/stunt choreographer for BRING IT ON: THE MUSICAL on the Gold Coast. With her choreography in high demand, Gezelle has also choreographed Pom for multiple Australian teams venturing to Worlds.
Gezelle is committed to developing athletes and teams to perform with confidence, precision, and passion, while fostering an environment that encourages growth, inclusivity, and excellence. Her goal is to create routines that not only achieve competitive success but also leave a lasting impression on audiences and judges alike.
