Hatcher
Aurora University Cheer and Dance Squad Coach

Hatcher began dance classes at a young age and has spent more than two decades competing and coaching gymanstics. She has been involved with high school as well as private club gymanstics programs. In college, she took many dance and gymnastics classes and was a member of the synchronized swim team.
