well for cheerleading, you need to keep things tight and strong, unlike dance!. sharp movements are key!. definetely not lyrical or ballet style!. you need to be loud, not quiet!. keep your claps sharp, not flimsy, and cup your hands together when you clap!. pretty much every move you do will be in fists, or daggers(your hands are flat like they're on a table)!.
you need to know arm positions: high V (arms up above your head, making a V), low V(same as high, but your arms are below your shoulders ^), T (arms straight out to the side at shoulder level), broken T (put your arms straight out and then bend them at the elbows so that your fists are in front of your chest), and touchdown (arms straight up above your head, fingers facing each other)!.
the only cheer i can think of is:
"I heard it through the grapevine that your team is very tough, but when you're up against the (insert your mascot, ex: dogs, short for bulldogs), tough is not enough!"
hope that helped, let me know if you have any other questionsWww@QuestionHome@Com

i've danced for 11 years and cheered for 7 years!. it is very fun!. you need to know how to jump!. be spirited!. if it is school you might not need to know how to tumble or stunt!. but you may need to know how to stunt and tumble!. remember its like an audition, they want to see the best you got!. please show up in the right clothes too!. here are some cheers;
Explosive, we're awesome, so watch us in action, elite of elite, if here to complete, number one no doubt, so let us hear you shout, go big blue, beat those cats, yell it, go big blue, beat those cats!.
Patriots lets go, we're ready to steal the show, never #2, falcons you're through
we're tough, we're mean, so don't be shocked, when we take charge, and you get rocked!.
there's no competition, like the real competition, and the real competition, is f-c-h-sWww@QuestionHome@Com
