Homecoming is a tough time for cheerleaders. This year they did a dance to the song Toxic by Britney Spears. This homecoming dance is usually created by the seniors after the seniors create the dance, they show the coaches. The cheer girls work on this dance at least a month prior to when they perform as they have games in between these practices and other things to work on.
The dance is usually two to three minutes long and is definitely not easy to learn. The kickline is one of the most important parts of the dance. These girls have 2 hour practices everyday after school, sometimes these two hour practices don’t seem like enough time. Most of the time the girls will have to go home and practice as well.
This year there were jumps in the dance and jumps can be a huge weakness! All the cheer girls did manage to perform amazing jumps, whether they were new to the team or not. Overall, I believe the girls did a great job on the dance this year and the Spud can’t wait to see next years dance!
