8. Objectives:
- Describe the nature and movements of cheerdancing
- Assess students’ performance cheerdancing
- Create movements in coming up with the partial
cheerdance routines through improvisation
9. Analysis:
1. How could the cheerdance team in the video perform better?
2. Are there other combinations or additional skills which you can
suggest to be added to their cheerdance routine?
3. How can a student like you benefit from performing
cheerdances?
10. Abstraction
Readings:
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. Dance, on the other hand, is
a physical activity where one expresses emotions or gestures while
performing bodily movements usually in time with rhythm. Cheerdancing
rooted from cheerleading. Cheerleading is the performance of a routine,
usually dominated by gymnastic skills 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
11. -Continuation-
It originated in the United States. Due to Filipinos’ love for dancing,
they added more dance routines to their cheers and came up with the
term cheerdance wherein it is a routine composed of yells and cheers,
gymnastic skills (pyramids and tosses, stunts, tumbling skills, arm and
hand positions and jumps), and dance (fusion of different dance
genres). Today, cheerdancing is identified as one of the most
spectacular events in one of the biggest collegiate sports events in the
country, the UAAP (University Athletic Association of the Philippines).

what you have rehearsed with the beat of the music.
