Answer
Then you have plentyof time to learn. There are alot of ways to go about it. first off for your motions simply search them on the internet to find photos and practice them in front of the mirror, you want them to be crisp and clean. if you have any friends at school who are cheerleaders ask them to teach you some things, and you can also take privates (or class lessons, which are typically cheaper) at a local all-star gym.
