How to memorize a dance faser for cheerleading tryouts?

go over it step by step, just practice little sections if you're having trouble. just go section by section and get each individual section perfected, then work on putting it all together. also, if it's a routine to music (which i'm assuming it is) really use the music and the counts to help you. listen for unique sounds/words in the music that you can associate with your moves and never lose count!

No easy way to memorize...Just constantly using them will make them easier to remember.\nMake flash cards...place them randomly about the house,like the fridge, bathroom mirror, car seat, etc.   Before you cna use that object to must try to name the ion.  Flip the card to the other side to make you do the reverse the next time.

About a week before tryouts the coaches will usually have a clinic where they'll teach you all of the material. Make sure that you pay close attention to everything they tell you. When it comes time for the actual tryouts make sure that your hair is up, shoes double knotted, and you make a great outward empression. When it comes to the technical aspects you should be sharp and tight with every move you make. Make sure you smile and if you have to perform a dance work it! After you finish a cheer or chant make sure that you spirit and keep a big smile on your face. Overall you should give off a sharp empression that is ofcourse peppy and outgoing. The coaches might also require you to do jumps, stunts, or tumbling, so tone up those skills by finding a local cheerleading gym. Hope this helps, and good luck at tryouts!

Speak to the cheerleading coach.  Let her know you really want to be there, but have a prior commitment with the track team.  Then ask her if there is a time you can learn what will be taught.\n\nIf you word it correctly, she'll know you are serious when you say you're going to do it.  Coaches appreciate knowing they can count on their entire team, when they give their word.

Hey, I'm glad you've chosen to take up cheerleading. It is great you have gymnastics experience, its required for high school.\n\nStunts you need are back handsprings, front handsprings, possibly back tucks, pikes, toe touches, double toe touches, herkies, spread eagles, aerials, front tucks...\n\nTo get prepared, start RUNNING! You may not think you have to run a lot but, boy, you do! Start running just around your block a couple of times, then work your way around the neighborhood. It's good to be able to run at least a mile by try outs, other girls can probably run 3 miles if they are training hard.\n\nStart lifting weights. You need lots of upper body strength. A 2 to 3 pound weight works fine, do 10 to 15 reps every other day, and lots of push-ups.\n\nStrengthen your CORE! That's one of the keys to great dancing and stunting, start doing some crunches and sit ups!\n\nGood luck in making the squad!

1. Stretch thoroughly before you begin. Otherwise, you may strain or tear a muscle. This can be very painful, so be careful!\n   2. Make sure you have a trained coach who can support your body weight and is certified in gymnastics, acrobatics, or cheerleading.\n   3. Listen to your coach. He will probably help you with a few basic drills to build up to your back tuck. These could include jumping backwards onto your back on a mat, or using a wedge or cheese mat.\n   4. You need to be able to confidently perform simple moves such as a forward roll, backwards roll, handstand, cartwheel, round-off, front walkover, back walkover, and back handspring. These skills provide you with the strength and balance needed to perform a back tuck.\n   5. Begin on a good trampoline. It's best to wear a leotard or a t-shirt and cotton shorts. Jump as high as you can, pushing off through your toes. Keep your arms down by your sides, or slightly out in front of you. To get a feel for this move, stack mats five feet high behind you. Jump as high as you can, pushing through your toes, keeping a straight body, and having the correct arms position. Jump onto your back, tuck tightly, and do a backwards roll. Once you are comfortable with this, move to the next step.\n   6. Jump high, with the body position discussed in Step 5. When you have reached a good height, raise your arms up quickly and tuck tightly. Hold your knees. Pull your body over, and land erect, absorbing shock by bending your knees.\n   7. Once you are confident with this, try piecing this together in the simple tumbling pass round-off back-handspring back-tuck. Eventually, you will progress to a standing back tuck.\n   8. Good luck, and have fun!

As a graduate from high school and college this always worked for me:\n\nStudy 5 minutes\nRest 3 Minutes\nStudy 5 Minutes\nRest 3 Minutes\nStudy 5 Minutes\nRest 15 Minutes\n(Repeat until you feel confident in your memorization)\n\nYou are trying to memorize something in a hurry so you need to work that part of your brain correctly.  You have about 15 minutes before studying is worthless so you need to break often.  Make sure to get some OJ and good luck!

since it is a gymnastics meet, i am assuming you cannot have any words in the song, so i think Tequilla, is a good option. I hada  routine to that once, and it has a good fast beat, and is easy to make a routine to.

Below is an excert from the site I have given you.  Its pretty good as it explains all the apparatus and the moves in detail.  I hope this helps.\n\n• FLOOR EXERCISE\nThe floor exercise gives gymnasts the chance to express their personalities through their music choice and choreography. Gymnasts often get energy from the crowd and they usually welcome audience participation in clapping to the beat. Throughout the routine, the gymnast must harmoniously blend these elements while making versatile use of the 40-foot by 40-foot floor space, changing both the direction and level of movement.\n\nThe quality of grace may be disguised by movements of playful theatrics, but look for a dancer-like command of music, rhythm and space. The gymnastics elements should flow freely into each other while the leaps cover impressive distances and the turns add excitement to the music.\n\nThe floor routine is choreographed to music, lasting no more than 90 seconds and covering the entire floor area. There are several special requirements, such as an acrobatic series with at least two “saltos” and one dance direct connection with a minimum of two leaps, each taking off of one leg.

(1) Many people seem to worry about their dance moves. Here are some ideas to help you look great on the dance floor. \n\nSteps \nRealize that dancing is all about confidence. When you go out, remember you are there to have fun, and so is everyone else. No one is judging you on how you dance, and if they are then they probably aren't the sort of people worth worrying about.If your esteem is low, your body language will reflect this, so go out there with your head held high, back straight and smile. \n\nPractice dancing whenever you have the chance. Dance in the kitchen, in the bedroom and in the living room. Not only will this help to improve your general fitness but you'll start to feel more comfortable in your body. \n\nGet in shape. Once you feel more comfortable with your body, you'll be able to move it in ways you never thought possible. \n\nDon't get too drunk. Drunken dancing never looks good, and you'll end up feeling foolish. \n\nLose yourself in the music. Let your body move naturally to the beats and rhythms. \n\nImprovise. To be perfectly honest, dancing isnt really something that has to be learned, 75% of people who go to dances really just wing it. So have fun. \n\nTips \nDance classes are a very good resource. \nYou are only as good a dancer as you think you are; it's up to you, not anyone else. \nWatch MTV or other music channels. Watch how people dance and try to copy their moves. \nDance how you like. There's no right way! \n\n\n(2) First you need your partner to want you to kiss them, so make sure you smell and taste good. \n\nDon't lunge. Lean in slowly, slow is sensual. \n\nSuck on her lip while she sucks on yours. \n\nMake sure your lips are out of the way, then play with each others tongue. \n\nTips \nTo find out if she'll kiss you, see if you can cuddle up to her. \n\nIf you are a girl, to see if he likes you sweet talk him and if he blushes or smiles sweetly then he likes you. \n\nTry rubbing the backs of the teeth of the other person with your tongue. It creates a ticklish feeling and enhances the fun. \n\nDo circular and flickering motions with your tongue. Be creative! \n\nDo make sure that your partner is actually ready for a French kiss. If they seem comfortable with an open-mouth kiss, ever-so-slightly touch their lip with your tongue, as if by accident. If they seem not to notice or back away, gradually increase the touch. \n\nRub your tongue on the roof of his/her mouth.

As a current cheer coach, first and foremost I would have to tell you to be ready.  Know your routine backwards and forwards, and keep your movements sharp.\n\nBe loud, but not shrill....use your diaphragm.\n\nBe enthusiastic and don't stop smiling.  Most of all have a good time.\n\nGood luck

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
