Cheerleading/Partner Stunting

Question
So I graduated in 2009 and I was the Cheerleading captain at my school I have some experience in partner stunts but I am wanting to get more skilled and eventually try out for a pro team someday in the future. My only problem is is that I do not currently have a partner to practice with. I was just wondering if you knew of any facilities or websites where you can meet other cheerleaders needing partners?? I am in desperate need of someone to practice with and would absolutely love someone that can relate to my dreams and desires to become better. Or if you had advice on how I might find a partner?  Thank you!!

Answer
I don't know of any sites. Ive personally used and seen alot of methods be used. When I was in college some girls would see us stunting in the rec center and just come up and flat out ask. You can always call gyms. Ive seen ppl place ads on facebook and craigslist (obviously always doing so at your own accord meeting strangers). Ive seen those who are new or out of practice have to pay for ppls times. Finding someone to partner stunt with can be more difficult than learning stunts sometime. If you wish feel free to follow up with what state you are in. There is an outside chance I might know of someone depending on where you are.
