Cheerdancing is a performance routine that combines elements of cheerleading, dance, and gymnastics. It originated in the Philippines as Filipinos added more dance elements to traditional cheerleading routines. Cheerdancing is now prominently featured in collegiate sports events in the Philippines like the UAAP. A cheerdance routine incorporates various skills from each discipline including jumps, tumbling, dance moves from styles like hip hop and jazz, as well as arm motions, cheers, and optional pyramid building. Proper execution of techniques from each component is essential to cheerdancing.
