<p>Im going to be attending Vandy in the fall (very excited!) and I am curious about the cheerleading squad. I have a dance background rather than cheering experience (the cheer squad at my high school has a terrible reputationreally nice girls, but all they do is wiggle their arms and hop up and down a little) but I am very interested in the stipend that cheerleaders receive :) and in joining a team sport of sorts.
Are the cheerleaders very talented? Basically, do they perform a lot of cartwheels and flips and whatnot? I dont know all the terminology, since I do not currently cheer, but I would appreciate any input from either those of you who cheer or those of you who just watch the games once in a while. I would be very well equipped to perform dance-style cheer routines, and I have good flexibility, but I am iffy about flipping around in the air and performing daredevil stunts:) Thank you so much!</p>
<p>the dance team is much better than the cheerleading squad</p>
<p>i agree with the above post; it sounds like danceline would be much better for you. the cheerleaders are a bit lame!</p>
