Q&A: what type of dance techniques are needed to tryout for a NFL Cheerleader position?

Question by Ashley: what type of dance techniques are needed to tryout for a NFL Cheerleader position?
I was a cheerleader in H.S. for 6 years (Our squad did alot of hip-hop, choreographed dances, and did at least 2 competitions a year), but no technical dance experience such as leaps and turns. I feel I have the potential, I have just never been taught.Would this be needed to make the squad?

the only thing you can do is work at it your hardest. when i was trying to get my backhandspring it took a long time just to get your body used to it. it really helps to get coaching so they can give you tips on what your doing wrong or to spot you..you could try doing on a trampoline just to get the form down, its a lot less sacary than on the ground. when you go, you have to give 100% and be fully commited to it. other wise it wont turn out as well. focus on pushing through your legs when you jump, keeping your arms straight and your shoulders pushed up, and look at the ground when you jump back. good luck hope it helps! =]
