hi i tryed out for 7th grade cheer and i made it they said that people could only do a backhandspring or higher but i didnt do and tumbling.what they are looking for is someone who smiles,who yells loud and clear,is sharp,who gives 110% effort no matter how bad you are.when i tryed out people said wow to a backbend…so there will probubly be very few people who can tumble so i wouldnt worry about tumbling…but when you walk into the room where the judges are go runing in with a big smile and yell something like go (whatever your mascot name is) ,you can do it!!!,your number one or ect….thats what gets them excited about you!!!

What kind of leaps, turns, etc. should I be able to do in order to make the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleading team?

Question by thedancer: What kind of leaps, turns, etc. should I be able to do in order to make the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleading team?
I think they are great performers but as far as turns, leaps, and tumbling goes, what do you think I would need to be able to do in order to make the team? I already know a lot about dance (18 years of ballet, 12 years of jazz, 5 years of contemporary, 6 years of hip-hop, 6 years of cheerleading) but I’m just looking for opinions.

even though they are called cheerleaders, they are really dancers. they don’t really turn or leap unless you are on the show team. But you need to kick really high because of their kickline and have good stamina because what they do can be tiring.

They have a show on CMT that shows the auitioning process and their training camp, and what they really do and what you would need to be able to do to make the team.

you can watch the full episodes there. if you really want to try out, i would suggest watching that.

The DCC don’t do any type of tumbling.

On some you may be able too. At my high school you don’t have too but others that go to competitions and stuff they may require it. Talk to or email the coach and see what she says.

Q&A: Can I try out for cheerleading without being able to do flips?

Question by b_cheer_full: Can I try out for cheerleading without being able to do flips?
I love cheerleading and I consider myself a pretty good one. I was on the top squad in middle school and when high school tryouts for cheer come up soon i want to be able to make a squad! But my classmates who are on our school’s squad right now said that you need to be able to do a back hand spring and a back flip and other stuff and all i can do is a somersault, cartwheel, and round off! Is it possible for me to make the squad?!

Answer by CHEERLEADAH
weeelllll . . .

that depends on your schools rules for there individual cheerleading team 🙂

At the high school I will be cheering at you need to have really good jumps be very stable at your position (top/base/back) and be really flexible. Tumbling is good to but it is not necessary if you can stand out in another way. If you can do a cartwheel or a front walkover then show them. 🙂

all i can do is a forward roll, cartwheel, roundoff, backbend, and front handspring but even that is good but I guess that also depends on your high schools team:)

My cheerleading coach used to cheer at the high school I’m going to so thats how I know what I need to be ready for 🙂

you should go see what is required so you can start a.s.a.p. working really hard on the requirements

also make sure you sre stretching every day and by try-outs you should have gained alot more flexibility (make sure you are not just stretching your splits you back is really important as well!!!!)

If you want to or you can go in tumbling at a gym near you so that you may learna few things before try-outs or if tryouts are really soon you can still tryout but then keep learning at tumbling and then you will forsure by the end of this cheer year you will have you bhs and whatever else you want if you work really hard.

it really depends on your school. Some cheerleading squads are very hardcore & will require certain things, so ask around.
Try to mainly work on your toe touches, and motions..
