cheerleading what is it?
This dance style originated in the United States. The term appeared due to a combination of two English words: cheer - approve, support and lead - manage, lead.
Cheerleading is not just a kind of dance, but a sport. It combines the performance of dance, gymnastic elements and acrobatic tricks. As a rule, cheerleading is used to support athletes during team games, competitions, and so on.
History of origin
This direction in sports appeared in the second half of the nineteenth century. Officially, the concept of "cheerleading" was registered in 1898. It is worth noting that earlier this sport was more common among men than among the representatives of the beautiful half of humanity. This is eloquently evidenced by the fact that the first cheerleader is Jack Campbell.
Cheerleading became less popular in the early twentieth century, but after World War II, cheerleading boomed again. Only at this time, mostly girls began to engage in it: according to statistics, more than 90% of all cheerleaders were female. In the 60s, in such large countries as the USA and Great Britain, cheerleading becomes an integral part of all sports competitions. This sport is beginning to be treated not as entertainment, but as a necessity, because support is the key to winning. Over time, thanks to women, gymnastic elements were added to cheerleading.
Also in 1985, the pompom was invented. The performances of cheerleaders became more and more vivid and emotional, which contributed to the prosperity of this sport. To this day, cheerleading (which means supporting sports teams) is not losing ground.
Cheerleading directions
This sport is divided into two main directions:
- A competition between cheerleading teams that demonstrates the dance, gymnastic and acrobatic skills of athletes.
Thus, cheerleading has long ceased to be just an addition to such sports as football, basketball, hockey and so on. Today it has become an independent unit in the sports world.
International Cheerleading Federation
In today's world, some people still ask the question: "What is cheerleading?", While today there is even an international federation for this sport.
It was founded in 1998 as a result of the increased interest of the European population in the dance and gymnastic elements that are performed before and during the breaks between matches.
The International Cheerleading Federation includes such countries as Russia, Ukraine, Sweden, Australia, Great Britain, Slovenia, Malaysia, Costa Rica, Brazil and other member countries of the European association. The world's first cheerleading championship was held in 2001 in Tokyo, Japan. Since then, the championship has been held annually. The competition is hosted by the winning country.
Cheerleading terms
Now that you know what cheerleading means, you might be wondering what terminology is associated with this sport:
- team number, which is based not on dancing, but on acrobatic and gymnastic elements. Athletes perform various lifts, rearrangements, pyramids, jumps, etc. When evaluating the number, the jury evaluates, first of all, the emotionality and synchronism of the show.
- Cheer mix is a number closely associated with the Cheer nomination. The only difference is that not only women, but also men participate in it.
- Cheer-dance - dance elements are welcome here rather than acrobatics. Be sure to use pompoms in the setting. The use of chants and acrobatic elements is prohibited.
- Individual cheerleading - the performance of one person from the team, usually the leader. He can perform both gymnastic and dance numbers.
- Group stance – collective construction of a gymnastic pyramid. The group stunt is performed by several people from the team, most often by five people. Participants at the top of the pyramid are called flyers.
- Partner stunt is a setup in which a man lifts a woman, and she performs acrobatic and gymnastic elements on top.
These terms should be freely used by any person who is somehow connected with cheerleading.
Cheerleading costumes
Cheerleader outfits are one of the main elements of the production, because it determines how emotional the number of athletes will be.
Accordingly, costumes should be bright and colorful. The fabric can be embroidered with shiny sequins or beads.
Since cheerleading is a team sport, all dancers wear the same clothes. Suits are sewn from elastic fabric, which fits snugly to the body and does not hinder movement. It is worth noting that the cheerleader outfit should not reveal private parts of the body or show underwear (even though costumes are usually quite short and open). As for shoes, they, like clothes, should be the same. For the convenience of dancers, you should choose sneakers or sneakers with a stable sole, preferably without laces.
Cheerleader's Code
- Do not drink alcohol, drugs or doping substances.
- It is forbidden to use abusive language in your speech and swear.
- A cheerleader must treat his opponents, coach, jury members and fans with respect.
- A cheerleader is forbidden to smoke, as bad habits defame the honor of the team.
Now you not only know what cheerleading is, but also familiarize yourself with all the intricacies of this sport.
Advantages and disadvantages of cheerleading
Consider the advantages of cheerleading:
- It's beautiful. In many countries, the cheerleader girl is a symbol of youth, youth, beauty and energy. And the members of the teams are really attractive: they are slender, dressed in the most open form, perky.
- This is a relatively new sport for many countries and therefore an interesting, prestigious sport.
- You can not only do it for your own pleasure, but also take part in competitions.
- This is a great option for a girl, as regular workouts help to keep slim and look attractive.
- Cheerleading strengthens muscles, trains the respiratory and cardiovascular systems.
- Professional classes teach to work in a team, develop leadership qualities.
- Coordination, endurance, flexibility, dexterity develop.
- Lessons at an early age strengthen the team spirit and promote socialization.
There are also disadvantages:
- High risk of injury. If you believe the statistics, then in America, about half of all injuries in sports occur in cheerleading. And during the execution of complex elements, girls really often fall.
- Professional activities require constant travel: to sports with a cheerleading team, to cheerleading competitions and other performances.
- Special equipment required.
- Not everyone can get into the team, there are restrictions.
- Intense exercise during training.
Cheerleading is a new sport. And to start doing it, find out all the nuances and weigh the pros and cons. Good luck!
