Question by Rachael Roscoe: how can I get into the cheerleading team?
K, well my schools cheerleading team is starting to have tryouts.They said you dont need ANY gymnastic skills ( which i dont have) and they only really do dance moves and thats it. I have never done dance before. Can you please give me some tips on how to look good in front of the cheer coaches and how i should impress them?

don’t add your own style into the dance. just do what they’ve taught you. always smile and if you can, do different facial expressions like winking etc. and remember that no matter how pretty your smile is, if you can’t do the dance you won’t get in.

well ive been in cheer since i was about 3 or 4….but since it doesnt require gymnastics skills, just remember to SMILEE! 😀 and dont be nervous!
I have only just recently started cheer leading…. I was in gymnastics for about 3 years and dance for like 9 so I don’t know if this will help you or not.. Ok well I tried out for Cheer at a place called xtreme and I made the highest level. anyways what you do is STRETCH every morning and night… You can stretch you thighs by doing the straddle adn splits positions for a minute each and then you can stretch your shoulders by reaching over your body and leaning to one side for 20 seconds each. do pushups and sit ups each day and then you want to STRETCH after that… umm dancing- i guess you just SMILE SMILE SMILE and do cool facial expressions… maybe watch a few dances on youtube? Umm you should definitely get your back handspring or back bend or backwalkover if you really want to be able to do what everyone else can! 🙂
Well you may want to ask some girls that have been on a team before to show the style of dance they do. Make sure you smile and do facials the judges like spirit. Make sure you know the moves to the dance and if you mess up just keep going. Make sure your motions are tight and clean. Also your jumps should be pretty and have good form.
i’m on my varsity cheer team and I’ve danced ALL my life.
when you learn the dance (i assume you be learning a dance), go home and practice, practice, practice! have eye contact with the judges! change your expressions. ** a little trick i say is a-e-i-o-u! smile and say those letters. wear your school colors to tryouts, and a bow never harms anyone.be sharp with your movements!
hope i helped:)
1. Even if your jumps are terrible, you still act like they were the best ones.
2. Sharp angles. Tight to.
3. Look forward NOT AT THE JUDGES
4. They don’t look at you if you are not smiling
5. THEY LOOK FOR IF YOU MESS UP,YOU KEEP GOING!!!!!
6. Spirit long. Dont just say go team.
7. Use your man voice
AND THEY SEE WHEN YOUR NEVOUS… I WAS TOO, I WAS SHAKING REALLY BAD<, DONT DO THAT!! Good luck. Tell your self your beautiful and good. I just had tryouts with 43 girls, and 38 tried out for cheer. I made it by ALL THOES STEPS!!!
