Ballet hand down. In Cheerleading, splits are pretty much the only thing needed for toe touches and maybe some tumbling. In ballet, however, we need splits, straddles, oversplits, and so much more. We are always using our flexibility is jumps, turns, partnering, balances, etc etc. I only know one cheerleader who can do a split and it isn't even a good split. Ballerinas sleep in splits.

Will they teach you to be flexible in ballet?
Yes. Flexibility is absolutely essential to dancing ballet well. It is impossible to do most of the steps in ballet without being much more flexible than the average person. A good ballet teacher makes sure to have their students do many stretches in every lesson so that their students will become more and more flexible. The more flexible a ballet dancer is, the more capable he or she is of doing the more difficult steps, such as grands ronds de jambes and penché. Flexibility can also making such steps seem easy, giving the illusion of being nearly weightless.

You can always start dance. Flexibility is not all that you need to take ballet. If you are determined you may become more flexible if you start dancing.
Which is harder Ballet or cheerleading?
Ballet is harder for girls than cheering because of flexibility and alot of strength. For men it is a similar thing with lifting up a female but in ballet they hold the female up for longer in a position which requires more strength than cheering because usually more than one person holds the cheerleader. For females both in ballet and cheering you have to be flexible but once again in ballet when the female has been lifted up they hold positions which once again require strength and flexibility. Whilst in cheering there is more stability for thee people holding you dont usually move.
