What is
Alliance?
A collective of athletes and coaches that share a similar vision, to become the best they can be!

Alliance Tumbling & Cheer was founded with the mission of creating a safe and positive environment for athlete’s to train no matter what team, gym, or sport they are from! Cheerleaders, Dancers, Gymnasts, Tumblers, and kids just looking to have some fun, come together to work towards achieving their goals. Alliance’s programs are solely class, lesson, and clinic-based with no competitive teams. Our coaches want to see your athlete succeed not only in the gym but in life! With carefully cultivated classes, loads of positive encouragement, and an emphasis on fun, your athlete’s goals can become a reality!

Owner & Coach
EMMA BACHOFER
I began cheerleading at 10 years old because I wanted to be friends with a group of girls from my school. Little did I know it would take me further than I ever imagined!
Throughout high school, I competed for all-star programs such as Spirit Explosion, World Cup, and Upper Merion All-Stars. I had the privilege of competing at the biggest competitions in all-star cheer such as NCA, UCA, The Summit, and The Cheerleading World Championship.
I attended college and cheered for Hofstra University in Long Island, NY. In 2019 my dreams came true when my teammates and I won the UCA College National Championship. After graduating with a BA in Marketing and minors in IT and Business Analytics, I returned home to Downingtown PA.
I helped to start a local college cheerleading team and began offering mobile tumbling lessons. During this time I discovered that there is nothing I love more than coaching!
​
In the fall of 2022, I began coaching the Varsity and Competition Teams at Downingtown East High School. In the Spring of 2024, I became the Head Coach of the program!
In April of 2022, Coach Emma B LLC was born!
After a successful launch, I decided I wanted to grow my company to reach more athletes eager to grow by establishing Alliance Tumbling & Cheer LLC in the Exton Square Mall.​
​
After Alliance's first year at the Exton Mall, we outgrew the space and made our way to our current facility in Downingtown!
​
Every day I strive to grow the love, confidence, and skill set of young athletes with a passion for tumbling, cheer, and stunting. I started this company to help athletes realize that they can accomplish more than they ever dreamed of. Time to get to work!

Coach
BERN INTERRANTE
Through cheer and my career goals, I plan to continue to teach, encourage and support others to be strong and confident. I began competitive cheer in 4th grade at Visitation BVM School and instantly fell in love. I was on Varsity from 5th to 8th grade, which gave me the opportunity to help teach younger kids to cheer. Some awards I received were being a 2017 UCA All-American, 2018 PJPHS All-American, 2018 Kedron School tumble-off winner, and 2018 (Co) Competitive Cheer MVP. I went to Pope John Paul ll High School and was on Varsity for all 4 years. I am most proud of being 2021 and 2022 District Champions, 2022 PAC Champions, and for placing 3rd at states in 2021. I received 4 more UCA All-Americans as well as getting the 2022 coaches award and 2022 Game Day MVP. I am excited to continue to be involved in the cheer world and to coach children to become the best they can be!

Coach
ALISE LOMAX
Hi Everyone!
​
My name is Alise, and I am excited to be apart of Alliance Cheer! My journey in cheerleading spans an incredible 10 years, and I have loved every moment of it. I began cheerleading in elementary school, where I cheered for basketball and football teams. As I moved into middle school, I not only continued sideline football cheer but also joined a competitive cheerleading team at the same time.
​
In high school, I continued to grow my skills by participating in my school's cheerleading team and eventually joined an All-Star cheerleading team called State All-Stars in Norristown, Pennsylvania. Just before heading to college, I made the hard decision to retire from my cheerleading career.
​
Alongside my cheerleading experience, I have had the honor of serving as a junior coach, where I conducted routines, chants, stunts, and monitored my team during football games. My enthusiasm for cheerleading is also matched by my love for working with children. Currently, I am a kindergarten teacher in the Phoenixville area, where I get to inspire young minds every day!
​
I have years of experience with kids of all ages, and I can hardly contain my excitement about being able to combine my two greatest passions as a cheer coach. Since the moment I stopped cheering, there’s never been a day I haven’t thought about it! I cannot wait to get back into the environment and continue to motivate and be an active role model for those who are coached by me. Let’s create some amazing memories and accomplish some amazing goals together!

Hey y’all my name is Lauren Duncan and I’m a recent graduate from Saint Joseph’s University! Where I was a sidebase on their traditional All Girl team!

HAILEY BRUNNER
Hi!! My name is Hailey Brunner I recently graduated from Downingtown East High School and I currently attend Duquesne University and majoring in Biology. I found my passion for cheerleading when I started in 6th grade on the Marsh Creek Eagles and continued to cheer at Lionville Middle School. For the past 4 years, I cheered at Downingtown East High School and was on JV for 2 years as well as JV captain and got the opportunity to be on the Varsity Traditional and Gameday team for 2 years. Additionally this year I coached 2 Marsh Creek teams and I absolutely loved it! Seeing kids succeed and believe in themselves reminds me of why I love coaching and cheerleading! I am so excited to be a coach at Alliance and work with athletes who are eager to achieve their goals!

Coach
ROBYN SNYDER
Hey there!!! My name is Robyn Snyder and I am a junior at Penn State University persuing a counseling major. Last year, I lived in Colorado and served in Americorps to work with underprivileged kids and ran after-school programming and reading interventions. When I was in Colorado I coached the middle/high cheer team and was so grateful to be back in the sport I love more than anything. I started cheering when I was 5 years old and finished as a senior captain at Downingtown East High School. I can’t wait to be a part of the Alliance team and share my passion for cheerleading and hard work with everyone I work with!

Junior Coach
ELLA MORTON
Hey! My name is Ella Morton, and I am currently going into 10th grade at Downingtown West. I started cheering for the Downingtown Young Whippets when I was 5 years old and continued to cheer for DYW until I was in middle school. In middle school I cheered for Innovation Cheer and Tumbling & the DMS cheer team. I continued with ICT until the end of 8th grade. Last year was my first year cheering for Downingtown West, where I was on the Traditional competition team. My favorite experience since cheering for West was UCA Nationals! Nationals was such a great experience for me because our team had so much team bonding, such as going on team rides, and going out to dinner. I currently cheer for Downingtown West on the Varsity Traditional and Gameday teams. When I had my first tumbling class at Alliance I realized how fun tumbling is and how much I’ve already learned and corrected myself on just from 1 class! I’m so excited to help younger athletes succeed in the same way an Alliance Coach!
