WHAT IS CHEERDANCE?
Cheerdance is coined from the words, cheer and
dance. To cheer is to shout out words or phrases
that may help motivate and boost the morale of a
playing team and perform better during game.
Dance, on the other hand, is a physical activity
where one expresses emotions or gestures while
performing bodily movements usually in time of
rhythm. Cheer dancing rooted from cheerleading.
Cheerleading is the performance of the
routine, usually dominated by gymnastic
skills such as jumps, tumbling skills, lifts
and tosses combined with shouting of
cheers and yells to lead the crowd to
cheer for a certain team during a game or
sport. It originated in the United States.
