B. Let Us Study
What is Cheerdance?

Cheerdance is coined from the words:

“cheer”, and “dance.” To cheer is to shout
out words or phrases that may help
motivate and boost the morale of a playing
team and perform better during a game.
While, to Dance is a physical activity where
one expresses emotions or gestures while
performing bodily movements usually in
time and rhythm. On the other hand,
Cheerleading is the performance of a
routine, usually dominated by a gymnastic
skill such as jumps, tumbling skills, lifts
and tosses combined with shouting of
cheers and yells to lead the crowd to cheer
for a certain team during a game or sport.
Therefore, Cheerdancing, is rooted from cheerleading.
How did Cheerdancing start?
Cheerleading history is linked closely
to the United States’s history of sports, its
sporting venues, as well as the historical
development of overall crowd participation
at many Athletic events (history of
cheerleading, 2015). However, its origin
can be traced as far back as the late 19th
century where in 1860’s students from
Great Britain began to cheer and chant in
unison for their favorite athletes at sporting
events. This event eventually reached and
influenced America (timeline of
cheerleading, 2012). In the late 1880’s the
first organized recorded yell done in
locomotive style was performed in an
American campus and was first seen and
heard during a college football game.
However, organized all-male cheerleading
only transpired when Thomas Peebles, one
 of the graduates of Princeton University, brought the yell and the football sports to
the University of Minnesota in 1884.
