Today we’d like to introduce you to Breyana Pounder.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
Cheer and dance have been a part of my life since the age of three. I began cheering at four years old at the YMCA in Collierville, TN. After high school, I coached my very first majorette team in 2014 at Whitehaven Community Center. In 2019, Royal B. Company was founded and later became a vendor with Memphis-Shelby County Schools to support the needs of cheer and dance programs.
I have assisted coaches with cheers, dance, tumbling, competition routines, choreography, and building strong teams rooted in sisterhood, brotherhood, love, compassion, and strength. In 2022, I began hosting Tryout Clinics, Cheer Clinics, Dance Clinics, and The Royal Experience Cheer and Dance Summer Camps for schools and individuals interested in the sport. In 2023, I launched 1-on-1 training sessions to help athletes prepare for cheer and dance tryouts.
Youth and young adult athletes deserve opportunities to participate in programs and extracurricular activities. No experience is required to train with Royal B. Expanding opportunities and confidence in the sport is why Royal B. was created — for all children ages 5–18.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Every business owner faces challenges within their first five years. My greatest challenge was balancing personal life, business responsibilities, and work-life demands. Although it felt overwhelming at times, those adversities helped push Royal B. to become the successful company it is today. Continued learning, motivation, and community service have propelled Royal B. forward into a future filled with greatness.
As you know, we’re big fans of Royal B. Cheer and Dance Company . For our readers who might not be as familiar what can you tell them about the brand?
Royal B. specializes in cheer, dance, tumbling, cheer camps, dance camps, tryout clinics, choreography, and competition routines. Our foundation is built on the Bible verse, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13).
Youth and young adult athletes often feel discouraged when a skill feels difficult, but with faith and belief in themselves, they can achieve greatness. Watching an athlete go from saying, “I can’t do this,” to proudly saying, “Look, I did it!” is exactly why Royal B. was created. Coach Bree is forever the reason behind this vision — instilling courage, confidence, and belief not only in the sport but in everyday life as well.
We offer 1-on-1 tumbling sessions for $60/hour. During each session, athletes can work on cartwheels, round-offs, aerials, back walkovers, front walkovers, standing back handsprings, traveling back handsprings, and back tucks. No experience is required — skills are taught and developed to support each athlete’s overall success.
Do you have recommendations for books, apps, blogs, etc?
TikTok helps keep me updated with new music, trends, challenges, and dances. The cheer and dance world is always advancing and changing for the better. My athletes are excited when I incorporate TikTok dances into full productions. It also helps me stay connected with the talented youth and young adult athletes I work with and brings them joy as they dance to songs they love.
