Ready.. OK!

American Dancers..

America..? Well.. when I think of America and dancing, I think of the common Hip Hop styles.. But then I thought of cheerleading.. and yes some may put cheerleading as a 'sport', but I would also classify it as dancing too as it OBVIOUSLY has dancing steps, so therefore to me- its dancing. And yeah, other countries have cheerleading, but no other country takes it as seriously as America! So.. I bring you .. cheerleading =]
It is performed at matches/ games to cheer for their team.. or even to compete in cheerleading competitions..
The outfits generally are the same, with a short skirt, top and pom poms.. =]
It's always been something I would love to do but it just looks so complicated and difficult. The routines are amazing to watch with all the flips and stunts that are performed. It's so cool to watch and it would be amazing if it competed in Ireland.
^ This is a perfect example of a cheerleading outfit..
