Courage Cheer and Dance United is a small-town gym with a big heart, located in Liberty Hill, Texas—just 10 minutes north of Leander and 15 minutes west of Georgetown. Founded by high school sweethearts Lauren and Justin Johnson, who met through cheer and gymnastics in Round Rock, Courage began in an old church sanctuary and quickly grew from teaching daycare tumbling to operating one of the finest training facilities in Texas. Our custom-built, 16,000 sq. ft. space features two full-size competitive cheer floors, an 1,800 sq. ft. performance dance floor, beginner and tot tumbling areas, a 2,100 sq. ft. parkour zone, a 450 sq. ft. upstairs dance studio, and advanced tumbling equipment including rod, spring, and air floors that lead into foam and solid form pits. We offer nationally ranked competitive cheer and dance programs as well as recreational classes in cheer, dance, tumbling, and parkour—serving athletes from Liberty Hill, Leander, Cedar Park, Bertram, Burnet, Marble Falls, Llano, Lampasas, and Georgetown. Our coaching approach is rooted in positive reinforcement and long-term athlete development, driven by our “Goal Club” values: Drive, Passion, Stability, Toughness, Positive Attitude, Realism, Focus, Effort, Persistence, and Competitiveness. At Courage, we’re not just building skills—we’re building confident, motivated athletes prepared for success in and beyond the gym.
