What is Cheer dance?

Cheer dance is coined from the words cheer and dance. To cheer is to shout out words or
phrases that may help motivate and boost the morale of a playing team and perform better
during a game. Dance, on the other hand, is physical activity where one expresses emotions
or gestures while performing bodily movements usually in time with rhythm. Meanwhile,
Cheerleading is the performance of a routine, usually dominated by a gymnastic skill such
as jumps, tumbling skills, lifts and tosses combined with shouting of cheers and yells to
lead the crowd to cheer for a certain team during a game or sport. Therefore, Cheerdancing
is rooted from cheerleading.

History of Cheerdance
Cheerleading dates to the 1860s, in Great Britain, and entered the US in the 1880s.
Although women currently dominate the field, cheerleading was begun by men.
Princeton University, in 1884, got the idea that crowd chanting at football games
would boost school spirit so they came up with a catchy cheer. On November 2, 1898,
University of Minnesota student Johny Campbell led an organized cheer at a football game
between Minnesota and Princeton University, as you might say he was the first actual “cheer
leader”. In 1903, the University of Minnesota organized the first cheer fraternity called
Gamma Sigma. They likely used a megaphone to project their voices.
In the 1920s women became involved in cheerleading. The yellers sported ankle-
length skirts and varsity sweaters. Female cheer squads began to include gymnastics, dance
and other showy stunts into routines, and in the 1930s cheers were aided by the use of paper
pom-poms. By the 1940s women were mainly leading the cheers and routines took on a voice
of their own.

Elements of cheer dance routine

1. Dance techniques – it can be contemporary dance techniques, others incorporate several

techniques such as jazz, hip-hop, modern dance, contemporary ballet and ethnic or folk
dance.

2. Elements of cheers – cheers are coordination of organized words and movements relating
to an athletic event.

Cheer motions are also used to lead the crowd and emphasize words for crowd
response. These are made up of hand, arm and body positions.

3. Basic gymnastics skills – cheer dance incorporates simple gymnastics skills such as
jumps and tumbling to add to the thrill of the game and the effect of the routine.

a. Jumps – it requires stamina, strength and flexibility and they greatly improve areas in
cheer dance routine (Carrier & Mckay, 2006) as cited by Aparato, et.al. The following are the
elements of a jump:

▪ Approach – the first stage of a jump.

▪ Lift – occurs after a cheerleader leaves the gorund.
▪ Execution – is hitting a jump at its peak or maximum height.
▪ Landing – involves whipping of the legs and feet together to end with a small rebound.
Knees are slightly bent when touching the ground to absorb the weight.

Tumbling Skills

c. Stunts – these are commonly performed by flyers (usually female) with bases (male lifters
and spotters. It is essential to know the proper execution of the stunts to secure the safety
of both flyers and lifters.
▪ Bases – these are the athletes (usually male cheer dancers)
that hold, lift and toss a flyer up to the air during stunts. Bases
must be strong and alert at all times. They make sure that flyer
will land safely and secured.There is no gender requirement for a
base.
▪ Flyers – these are the athletes being held, lifted and tossed
up to perform certain stunts in height or in the air. Female cheer
dancers are usually assigned to be the flyers. They are usually but
not always the smallest person in the group. They are flexible and
balance efficient while being lifted up. Before performing air stunts,
they must learn first the proper techniques.
▪ Back Spots - they serves as the backbone for the stunt.
They support the flyer and give her stability by holding either her
ankle or her leg (depending on the stunt). Backspots also hold the
responsibility of making the flyer lighter and therefore making
basing easier for the other athletes on the floor with you. The
backspot pulls up on the flyer, lifting weight off of the bases and in
turn making the flyer appear to be lighter to hold.
4. Formations – they play a vital role in cheerdance since most of the cheer dance
competitions are viewed from the top by the spectators. Formations may vary depending on
the dancers and stunts choreographed. It is important to have creative formations that will
create visual effects to enhance the dance routine. Synchronization must be observed in
making formations in the cheer dance.

5. Segments – cheer dance routines require a mixture of dance music and cheer segment in
order kick off a routine. They may be arranged in any order depending on the squad’s
choreography. The duration or length per seegment also depends on the competition’s
criteria.

▪ Music section – plays a vital role in cheer dance routine as it sets the tone and pace
as well as adds to the creativity of the choreography. It also motivates both the
cheerleaders and the spectators.
▪ Cheer section – this shows support for the school or program that the cheerleaders
represent. There is no particular cheer style required as the style and pace depend on
the competition’s guidelines.
