Question
I do not know what to do for my dance at tryouts.  Can anyone teel me some websites that TELLS me how to do fantastic but not to fast dances?

Answer
Hi Mikayla,

I am not sure of a website that tells you how to do a dance but if you look on the American Cheerleader website you can find a few videos that you can order that will teach you some dances.  Also, you can do a google search for cheerleading dances and that should help.

With any tryout dance remember to have sharp motions, smile, and try to select music that YOU enjoy.  The more you like the music you are dancing to the more likely you are to perform well.  Let me know if this helps and if you have any further questions.
