Dance and drill

Hey at my school we have dance and drill. its like those girls who go out on the football field at halftime and dance while the band plays. they also do school rallys and other awesome stuff. im in 7th grade and at my school we cant try out till...

9th. But I want to get a head start and make it in 9th even though its rare. what can I do to get really good in like a year?

I would tape what they do and practice, practice, practice...Good luck !!

At my school we have a drill team too I tried out and didnt make it. But your should join a dance team and maybe a gymastic team too,it would be helpful good luck =)

Most municipalities have their own teams. The little league teams but they have all ages as well. Try one of those. You'll learn a lot and a lot of them do competitions as well. You could also join ballet / modern dance / hip hop classes to learn things and you could join gymnastics to learn to do flip flops and flips and stuff. You'll learn balance from both which is great. As far as trying out - here's a few tips: Smile! Smile! Smile! Look each of those judges in the face and smile at them. This shows confidence and they want to see that! So look at it like you are flirting with them while doing your routine. They don't want to see a face that is full of concentration b/c it looks like it is work for you and your not having a good time. Also make your moves pop! Don't be slow and sluggish. Execute your moves sharp and fast. Be on top of your 8 counts b/c that count shows you where to be until the routine is second nature to you. Always make your moves pop! Go into try outs like you are going on the field to cheer. Yell and whoa as your going to your position, do a few jumps and maybe a spirit chant " S-P-I-R-I-T ! Spirit ! Let's hear it!" That's s good one. Keep your fingers together when they aren't in a fist and keep your fists tight. Remember, cheerleading is a sport too, so have fun, practice, practice, practice b/c that will make perfect and you won't be denied a spot on the team.
