DANCE!! i like modern, jazz, break dance, hip hop and a lil bit of salsa.. lol

i think cheerleading is like the same as danceing sorta..you gotta still do the same things basically but cheerleading you gotta be infront of a crowd(bigger crowd) and stuff

dancing cause u can add a little bit of your own style to it

DANCING!

DANCING- no question matey!
Shake that that thing...

[quote=JustPeachy,Sep 3 2004, 8:50 AM] good dancers are verrrry flexible...well ballet dancers are atleast.
so to answere your question dance !!!! it takes much more skill
[QUOTE] cheerleaders are dancers gone retarded. [/quote]
lol wasn`t that from BRING IT ON .. `??
hmm .. mayb it wasn`t blahh i dunno
i reckn dancing n cheerleading is good
i dance though, but i wouldn`t mind cheerleading
cept i would have to be hella more flexible LOL

dancing is soooo good to look at.
and sOOO fun to do!!
even if its the chacha or samba.. still good.

Dancing definately! I love to dance so much..and I have done the cheerleading thing before and I hated it!

have just always been attatched to both.

Dancing.

i prefer dancing, cheerleading tends to get boring........ they're all pouncing around & stuff..... dancing has many more fresh moves & such good beats, cheerleading has moves that kinda get repetitive........

And you think we don't? I would like to see you perform in front of a full audience, usually around 2500-3000 as a bare minumim. In full shows it can be around 5000

And it's not the same things. I would like to see you guys do twenty forte turns on blocks of wood in your shoe or hold you leg next to your ear without hands or do half the jumps, turns and leaps we do.


How does cheerleading require more flexibility than dance? Have you even actually seen dance? Dance requires a whole lot more flexibility. Do leaps in full split across a full stage with eight pound weights on your ankles, then come back and talk to me. A full split leap goes beyond a split on the floor

First of all we have to balance on a point that is no more than 1 inch sqare the entire time. Don't even talk to me about "balancing on top of eachother." We have to balance on guys, while staying in a certain balance and most of the time they are holding our weight up with one hand and moving. So don't even try about balancing.

Woah I didn't see this one. I agree that gymnastics is more dangerous than dance, but not by much. I do disagree with cheerleading being more dangerous. I injure my ankle every other month, girls have broken necks, collar bones, I have scars all up my legs, girls have almost become paralyzed, shattered knee caps and ankles. I almost shattered my collarbone when a lift didn't go right, people have been knocked unconsious during shows, there have been many concussions from being kicked in the head and rolling over on pointe usually causes a broken ankle. This isn't even including feet.

want to see real ballerina feet? The stuff underneath the shoe?

ok. I'm done now, I promise.

Dancing..Cheerleadings not my thing.

Lol I don't think that most of the people here have experienced the experience of both dance and cheer. ._. Anyway I'm both a cheerleader and a dancer and they're both equal in different ways...it's hard to explain. =)



AMEN TO THAT. too.

Dancing.

Cheerleading makes me vomit...

Taylor``

I guess dancing.

hmm... i like dancing better.. idk, cheerleading (as s0emotionalx3 said) is hard and whatnot, but i think dancing is more... idk... i like it better.

i personally love dancing. cheerleading is alright, but i don't think i'd enjoy it as much as dancing.

dancing.

cheerleading

dancing. pecifically ballet.

I'm a dancer... (ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, point, african)




and a tennis player...a swimmer...a basketball player...a softball player...a runner (track and cross country)

wwwwwwwwow... you must have a really nice physique.

I'm gonna have to say dancing. I've never tried cheerleading tho.

I was a cheerleader...and it was pretty fun.

I prefer dancing.

Dancing go KDC! hah

dancing for sure.

are you serious?!?
you think dancers don't have to be flexible!
dancers have to be just as flexible if not more flexible then cheerleaders.

I have to go with dancing. I've done both but i liked dance a lot more. Currently I take ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, acro, musical theatre and technique(which is just a class to help with stregnth). I compete on a team and i do about four regional competitions and two or more nationals a year. I also help teach the younger kids at my studio. Its a lot of hard work and it takes a lot of stregnth and flexibility but i like a bit of a challenge it makes me work harder.

please don't double post^

but I agree with you, dancers have to be much more flexible.

dancing
i love taking ballet en pointe

I like them both

Dancing, definitely.

It seems to require more skill and patience, and determination.

Cheerleading seems to me just like anyone can join, and it doesn't matter how talented you are, if you can jump in the air and yell really loud, you're in.

That's what it's like at my school, anyway. I'm sure it's not like that everywhere. The dance team has always been cooler than the cheerleading squad at my school.

I had taken dance for 7 years...I wish I hadn't quit

There are different levels of entrance in both dance and cheerleading. Both of them become rather advanced and neither are easy.

However, I would say that dance is a far more versitile, interesting, and far less superficial an activity in comparison to cheerleading. I greatly prefer Dance.

Dancing

dancing > cheerleading

WSDancer2005, your signature is stretching out the page .
Uhmm.. anyways.. I like dancing alot better. Cheerleading is just.. ew. >_<
