i wanna be cheerleader?

Question

ok, here it goes, i really wanna be a cheerleader but since i live in germany now i got noone to practise with me (they don´t even know it here) and i got no skills or experience yet so what can i do, any good ideas to practise myself, I REALLY WANNA DO THIS!!!!!!

Answer 1

well here are the moves u need to know for cheer:
toe touch
hurdler(hurkey)side and front
high kick
star jump
tuck jump
splits
u could try looking in youtube for some videos that have to do with cheer
it might help
also gymnastics and tumbling and jazz would help too gymnastics is for your strength and tumbling is to learn flips
they are about the same
jazz is more fun and still have a little of the basic stuff and helps you with turns and jumps

u could do ballet for techniques but u dont really need to because cheer and ballet are really different

just in case u didnt know:
toe touch is when u do the middle splits in the air with hards in a horizontal line

hurdler is when one leg is bent and the other leg is straight in front or side while jumping
your arms are parellel in front

a high of course is kicking one leg up

a star jump is when your arms are up in a V shape
and your legs are in a middle split position but more like an upside down V so it makes a star kind of shape while jumping

a tuck jump is when u have both legs tucked in and bent while jumping

and the splits of course and one leg in front one in back and going to the ground


also u might want to know how to do some front flips and back flips and cartwheel

when u cheer u have to smile
and when landing the jumps always land in plea or with 2 bent legs

have strong arms and sharp movements
dont forget to have fun tho

Answer 2

I would suggest taking dance and gymnastics classes. Those both provide EXCELLENT foundations for cheerleading.
