Meet the Team!
Michelle Compton
Co-Owner
Michelle loves Laurens and considers it a privilege to run her business here, raise her family here, and give back here! Michelle is no stranger to the small business community of Laurens! Born and raised here, she opened her first salon in downtown Laurens over 20 years ago! She is married to Luke and has 3 children who keep her busy with their athletic and cheer schedules.
Michelle has been a dance/cheer mom now for 8 years and has been on that side of the business as well. Her driving force for starting Cheerology Cheer Academy was to offer a studio where families can invest in their child’s athletic future while being respected, honored and treated like family. She is excited to meet all of the future cheerleaders and tumblers through this venture and watch each athlete develop, grow and shine!

Lindsay may not be originally from Laurens, but she has truly fallen in love with this small, welcoming town she now calls home. She and her husband, Brian are raising their two girls here, and the sense of community, pride, and heart in Laurens has become a cherished part of their family’s story.
A cheer and dance mom for over 10 years and a lifelong lover of the sport of cheer, Lindsay is thrilled to share her passion with local athletes and families. Lindsay is truly honored to bring something fun, uplifting, and spirited to the area through Cheerology Cheer Academy — a place where athletes can grow in confidence, skill, and community. She is so excited to see your athletes grow and develop in their skills and confidence!

Taliya Foster
Coach
Hi Everyone!! My name is Taliya Foster and I am so excited to begin this new journey as a head coach at Cheerology!! I live in Gray Court, SC with my Fiance Lindin but grew up in Lexington, SC. With 14 years of combined experience as both a cheerleader and coach, I bring passion, knowledge, and dedication to every team I lead. Having grown up in the sport myself, I understand the discipline, teamwork, and resilience it takes to succeed. My coaching style focuses on strong fundamentals, athlete confidence, and a championship mindset while also building a positive team culture where everyone feels empowered to grow. Cheer isn’t just about performance — it’s about developing leaders on and off the mat!
