What is
Cheerdance?
Is coined from the words, cheer and dance. To cheer is to
shout words or phrases that may help motivate and boost the
morale of a playing team and perform better during a game.
Dance, on the other hand, is a physical activity where one
expresses emotions or gestures while performing bodily
movement usually in time with rhythm. Cheerdancing was
rooted from cheerleading.
CHEERDANCE
Cheerleading is the performance of a routine, usually dominated
by gymnastics 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 from the United States. Due to Filipinos love for
dancing, they added more dance routine composed of yells and
cheers, gymnastic skills(pyramids and tosses, stunts, tumbling
skills, arm and hand positions and jumps). Today, cheerdancing is
identified as one of the most spectacular events on one of the
biggest collegiate sports events in our country, the UAAP
(University Athletic Association of the Philippines).
