Toni Basil and Paula Abdul were both cheerleaders.
Though many don't consider it one, yes, cheerleading is a professional sport- NFL football teams have cheerleaders. Also, there are many levels of competition in cheerleading- there's a Worlds competition for all-star cheerleaders and a Nationals competition for highschool cheerleaders.
The Steelers only had one cheerleading squad, 'The Steelerettes', from 1961-1969.
cheerleading is definitely a sport. the definition of sport is anything that has competition to it. plus cheerleaders can get hurt just as bad as football players. in football if you miss a catch all you miss is da ball...but in cheerleading if you miss a catch den you miss da athlete. now which one sounds more dangerous????????? and when football players get tackled dey have pads on and stuff. cheerleaders dont have anything but their uniforms are. cheerleading is actually very dangerous. cheerleading is definitely a sport. the definition of sport is anything that has competition to it. plus cheerleaders can get hurt just as bad as football players. in football if you miss a catch all you miss is da ball...but in cheerleading if you miss a catch den you miss da athlete. now which one sounds more dangerous????????? and when football players get tackled dey have pads on and stuff. cheerleaders dont have anything but their uniforms are. cheerleading is actually very dangerous.
well cheerleading has to be organized because their are different parts to the routine that go on. If you just have cheerleaders running around on the floor nobody for one will get to their place on the right count and for two their are less injuries.
Well, depends on the type of cheerleading it is. If it is competition cheerleading (Allstar) then you JUST go to competitions. Then sideline cheerleading is when cheerleaders cheer on the sidelines at a sports event. even though we do not always need cheerleaders, cheerleading is fun.AnswerI am a competitive cheerleader. Its very hard core and costs alot of money. I actually just went to Nationals in Illinois (wish it was in Florida or something) and my team MJFL Stallions placed 1st! Ok to answer the first comment the first person made, i do agree that the sports don't always need the cheerleaders but if no one in the crowd is say "LETS GO" "or "WAY TO GO!" or somthing like that, it kind of is disappointing to the football or basketball players if no one screams anything if they get points or win the game!
from a cheerleading squad you can learn how to get along and work with others. you aslo learn a lot of skills and you become a lot stronger. but especially the most important thing is you learn teamwork and how to be a "good sport" . alot of cheerleading squads compete and they get very strong and balanced. just try one year and see how you like it ! its great (:
it depends on how clumsy some cheerleaders i am not one of the clumsy cheerleaders my friend is the 1 (she is blonde)!!!
Cheerleaders all have to work together and if one screws up we all fall we also have amazing tumbling and throw each other in the air in the last 6 years 140000.15 people have broken a bone in cheerleading
You need balance to perform one legged stunts such as a liberty and especially a heel stretch and Scorpian
Cheerleading, one word.
In cheerleading, group stunts include building human pyramids. Gymnastic moves that include flips are performed by a cheerleading squad as a whole group doing separate stunts or one group stunt.
