How to practice flying techniques for cheerleading?

Question by Andy: How to practice flying techniques for cheerleading?
This year I just started cheering with my high school without previous experience. Everything is going really well, except I have a hard time with stunts. When going into half (elevator, whatever), I tend to drop my butt down when the bases go down, and I have a hard time pushing myself off of their shoulders to get good over pop. Are there any strategies I can use to avoid this or are their any ways I can practice at home without bases? Thanks in advance!

i was the basketball cheerleading captain of my school this year! there are TONS of stunts, like:
half-extension
extension
liberty
scorpion
heel-stretch
etc.

for dances and combinations rent a video or search youtube for videos and get some ideas from there.

here are a few basketball cheers but there are a lot of better cheers if you just google what you’re looking for.

we used a lot of contemperary songs, like one two step (ciara), break it off (sean paul rhianna) crowded (jeannie ortega) etc.
this got the crowd more into our dance because they recognized all of the songs.

What are the techniques for Cheerleading?

Question by ellabella: What are the techniques for Cheerleading?
I’m going to try out to be a cheerleader, in Western Australia, and i’m not sure if you need any certain techniques.
I can do a handstand, pretty good, and i can kinda do a cartwheel.
But if there aren’t any techniques needed for cheerleading, than tell me.
But if there is, please tell me them 🙂

Thankyou,
Bye.

to be a cheerleader, you don’t always need to know how to tumble .
i’ve been a cheerleader for 3 years and i can’t even do a handstand or a cartwheel .
you need a lot of upper arm strength if you are going to be a base in a stunt .
when you are doing motions , you need to squeeze your fists and muscles and be tight and sharp in every move.
also, try to avoid dairy and caffeine before cheering . they mess with your voice.
if you have anymore questions e mail me

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?
