There may be some steps you won't know the names of during tryouts, but since it's not a competitive team I'd say you won't be any worse off than other people trying out!. GIve it a shot!. Good luck and have fun!Www@QuestionHome@Com

NO, you can't just "learn to turn" it took me like 2 years to be able to do a triple and i'm 13 now!. Plus if you have no experience go to a class or 10 , I recommend you take ballet , jazz , and modern!. also, If you couldn't make it into cheerleading what makes you think that you will make it onto the dance team!? They're completly different things!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I am tired of girls using dance as a resort from not making cheer!!!!! there are difficult things in dance like turns, a la seconde turns, leaps, switch to centers, switch leaps, centers, kick line, catch turns, axles, double axles, tilt jumps, especially turns that is the main thing dont try out because you probably wont make it since you have no exerience and just used dance to fall back on since your obviously not that good at cheerleading!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Since you are so young you should try out!. They will probably teach you the basics and you can work on improving from there!. On my dance team if the girls are 7th grade we will take them no matter what experience they have had!. However if a high schooler tried out with no experience we would not consider themWww@QuestionHome@Com

umm, they probably have requirements that you will need to do at tryouts, and if you have no dance experience you won't know how to do the requirements!. i would take classes at a studio this year if i were you and try out next year instead!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

ugh!!! take tumbling classes and tryout for cheer again


dance is in no way a default from cheer!. its completely different!. turns arent a cheer thing!. and leaps are nothing like jumps! there is artistry in dance and none in cheer


so noWww@QuestionHome@Com

high school dance teams rquire no expirience!. i have danced since i was three and when i tried out everything they did was soo easyyWww@QuestionHome@Com

Hey, it's worth a shot! Some experience would help you and you probably will not make it, but it's just to try!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It;s not a good idea!. Take some classes so it will be a sure thing when you try ouy!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
