Maybe you can get her a dance video or something so she gets moving without realizing it's exercise.  If you have the cash you can get her a dance game (my daughter has one) you hook up to the TV and it comes w/ a flexible dance pad and she can groove to the tunes as she earns points.

Practice whenever you can. If you forget a move while your at school ask a friend on the squad what a move is.If your routine has music try and get that music so you can get into the habit of performing it with music.and while learning or doing the dance try and think of shapes number things that the moves remind you of.\n\nHope that helped\nGood luck

well first you have to stretch.  if you go to a dance studio they always have certain stretches that will make your legs stronger.  if you are trying to do a center split straddle on the ground against the wall and get someone to push you in.  if you are trying to do a left or right split you just have to practice a lot and and remember to point your feat.

Funny and shorter is a winning combination. Get your humor in at the beginning. Have some real substance in the middle. You won't change life as we know it. Focus on one or two things: More dances, better DJs. You  will listen more to them (the student body).    Be self deprecating, but not too much. Skits are over done as is rap singing your message. Be sincere in your message. Everyone will already know you by now, so just be yourself. Don't over reach. Leave the audience with a gentle zinger (humor), but don't obscure the reason for voting for you. "You are the one who will listen and implement change." I teach high school.

Have confidence!  You can fake it till you make it, but you should look as though you are comfortable in front of that crowd.  Now, how do you begin to gain that confidence?  PRACTICE - the better you know your stunts, cheers, dances, etc. the better you will do.  You should know the moves so well that they become second nature to you.  Then, when the moves are ingrained and easy, you can concentrate on your facials (smiling), voice control (loud and clear), and your attitude!  It is hard work, but VERY possible.  The better shape you are in, the better.  Practice in front of the mirror or video yourself to see what needs improvement and what you do well!  HAVE FUN!

Okay, I was a cheerleader.  My squad wasn't great, but I have a little bit of experience.  First off, try this website http://www.mspineapple.com/tryouts.html .\n\nStretch for the splits.  Go as far down into the splits position as you can and sit there for a minute or two.  Repeat for each type of splits.  Also, do straddle stretches (where you sit with your legs apart and bend down.  Try to touch your stomach to the floor.\n\nPractice jumps.  Toe-touches, herkies, hurdlers, etc.  I think hurdlers are easier than toe-touches, but that's me.\n\nUm, about memorizing dances: practice.  If you can get whatever song it is you're supposed to dance to, practice at home.  All you can do is practice.  I stink at memorizing dances, but I got it down as long as I practised.\n\nAnd, to mellogirl89: I don't appreciate your comments.  Yes, many cheerleaders are obnoxious, but my entirew squad wasn't and I'm not.  And I'm not just saying that.  People are always surprised when I say that I was a cheerleader.

u will need to be tight on ur cheers and if u r doing a dance u need to do that. do lots of facials and smile no matter what. if u mess up during tryouts, dont let it get to u! just keep smiling and move on. u will need to learn how to do a toetouch pike, hurkeys front hurdlers. if u have any friends that r cheerleaders, get them to teach u!

the key to giving a good dance is don't get in a hurry, GO SLOW! dance for a little while with your "outfit" on and then slowly take it off piece by piece, maybe even ask your man to help a little, they like that

Either go to a salsa club, so you can watch people dance it and (I don't know if you're male or female), but if you're female you just have to follow - so you can dance it at clubs fairly easily if your partner is good.\n\nBest thing to do is take a class.

Move a lot. Jump around and act like the crowd loves you. Be confident in yourself and just relax your muscles. When you are doing your forms, just act like your in class or by yourself...remember that the judges like to see confidence and good technique...Good Luck!!!

hi i was a cheerleader and a former coach 2 years ago(before i had my baby) anyways here what you should do...\nstretch out REALLY WELL!!!! HOLD EVERY STRETCH FOR 30 SEC.  AT LEAST....before you start stretching out warm up(like running) so your muscles are hot...\n\nalso practice jumping to get you stamina up \n&#92;\n\nwhen you are going to do a jump do it in front of the mirror..(so you can see what you are doind wrong) doing it on your bed or on the trampolene helps...\n\nps:if you could get someone to hold your waist will you do your toe-touch that would be great good luck!

Stand on a step on the balls of your feet and your heels hanging over.  Hold on to the handrail for support. Let your heels drop down slowly then lift them up and stand on your toes as high as you can then slowly let your heels down again..  Repeat 15 times, rest for a minute or two, repeat and rest again.  Do two sets a couple of times every day and increase to three or more sets.  Make sure you've had lots to drink so you don't get leg cramps.  And remember to stretch too.  :o)
