WATCH: Tycoons Have A reason To Cheer In New HQ

After a turbulent few years and many dispiriting setbacks, the TCA Tycoons are enjoying life in their new HQ and have a reason to cheer.

The Cheer and Dance Academy, which is owned by Jane Wood, was left in disarray in 2018 when a fire wiped out their previous home at Ray Mill in Stalybridge. After spending a period of time in different locations to continue training, Jane found a new, permanent home which is based on Grosvenor Street in Stalybridge. The Tycoons celebrated their one-year anniversary in the new HQ on April 12 and marked the occasion with workshop delivered by globally respected dancer Kirsten Dodger, who featured in the video 'Sorry' by Justin Bieber.

Although Academy HQ is the home of the Tycoons, its aim is to bring the community together and enhance wellness either by fitness classes, community groups, courses on wellbeing, and hiring space at the studio/gym.

​We spoke to Jane about overcoming adversity, recent success and future plans amongst other things.
