Introduction to Cheerdance

 Cheerleading is an activity in which the participants (called "cheerleaders")
cheer for their team as a form of encouragement. It can range from chanting
slogans to intense physical activity. It can be performed to motivate sports
teams, to entertain the audience, or for competition. Competitive routines
typically range anywhere from one to three minutes, and contain components
of tumbling, dance, jumps, cheers, and stunting.

Difference of Cheerleading and Cheerdancing

 - Cheerdancing is rooted from cheerleading.

 -Cheerleading as we all know developed in the United States of America. But
did you know that the Philippines has had developed Cheerdancing?
 -Cheerdancing in the Elementary, High School and College levels has
always been the opening salvo for intramurals in campuses in the
Philippines. The difference between Cheerleading and Cheerdancing is that
cheerleading has its foundation in Gymnastics. And as for Cheerdance, it's
foundation lies in the Choreography where Ballet seems to be its
foundation.

Benefits of Cheer Dancing

to One’s Health
Cardiovascular Endurance
Though one might think that cheerleaders are just there for moral support
while the "real" athletes perform on the field, nothing could be further from
the truth. The tumbling, dancing, stunts, and jumps that comprise a typical
cheer dance routine require stamina and endurance. While the routines
themselves are generally only a few minutes long, repeatedly practicing the
moves adds up to an effective cardio workout. Cheerleading usually requires
several hours of practice each week, especially for competitive squads.
College-level cheerleading programs often include strength training as an
additional component of practice.
Strength Building
Good cheerleaders make it look easy, but doing it right requires physical
strength that builds muscles in the lower body, shoulders, and core. Certain
positions on the squad such as "bases" and "back spots" must be able to lift
and support the bottom of a stunt or "pyramid" sequence. This entails
incredible strength, focus, and balance to support the weight of other
teammates and ensure their safety. "Flyers" need strength to lift their bodies
into the air with the support of the bases and to keep their balance while
performing the stunt.

Flexibility
Stretching exercises during cheerleading practice help increase flexibility. Part
of cheering involves high kicks, jumps, stunts, and sometimes splits, all of
which require flexible muscles.

Balance and Coordination

Timing and rhythm are crucial for effective cheerleading. Practicing the sport
helps individuals improve their body control, concentration, and balance as
they coordinate their moves to a beat.

Team Building
Like all team sports, cheerleading offers more than physical benefits. Sports
can help teach individuals essential life skills including teamwork, discipline,
and communication. Squad members must rely on each other for the
effectiveness of routines, as well as ensuring each other's safety during
difficult moves. If competition against other squads is involved, it becomes
even more important to work together as a unified front.

Leadership
Cheerleading provides opportunities for motivated individuals to learn
leadership skills. Even those who don't aspire to become head cheerleader can
benefit by taking the opportunity to demonstrate leadership by:
 Offering constructive advice to help teammates improve skills
 Setting a positive mood with their attitude
 Exemplifying hard work and discipline in practice
 Being receptive to trying new moves that the coach suggests

Confidence
Sports like cheerleading can help individuals develop their self-confidence as
well as their athleticism. Having a team to support and rely on can make
individuals feel more connected at school. Learning to master difficult moves,
help teammates, and perform well at games and competitions can benefit the
athletes who cheer, as well as the athletes they support on the field or court.
