Cheerleading Routines and Dance
It is amazing to see the different types of dance routines that have been incorporated into cheerleading. Street dancing, performed in a cheerleading uniform cheerleading uniform by a group of individuals, looks entirely different than when performed singularly on a street corner. In cheerleading competitions the cheerleading uniforms cheerleading uniform are sometimes made to reflect the dress style of the street dancers, but it’s something about the rhinestones, letters, and cut of the uniform that adds an extra something to the performance. As stunts are incorporated into the dance, a style evolves that is sometimes taken back to the street. Dancers and cheerleaders wearing the same cheerleading uniforms cheerleading uniform create a whole new depth to the art of both dance and cheerleading. As they move simultaneously through a piece bringing grace and fluidity to a very technical program, cheerleaders become the visual reminders of what we hope to see within others. Enthusiasm and passion for a sport that allows them to excel and master the difficult while making it seem so easy. Cheerleading teaches many skills, but I believe that grace under pressure is one of the most invaluable lessons that cheerleaders learn no matter what level they are at. I also believe that the lessons learned by cheerleaders are something that they carry for a lifetime.
