What is cheerleading?
Cheerleading is a group that cheers for the game. Cheerleading is a group activity. Cheerleading, under the background of music, embodies the youthful, energetic, healthy and progressive team spirit and pursues the highest level of team honor through the perfect completion of dance movements and the superb skill display of team members. Cheerleading is a new sport, which originated in America and has a history of 100 years. At first, cheering for American football developed, and now it has become a worldwide sport. Cheerleading was originally called cheerleading. The cheering part literally means encouraging and cheering, but it means cheering when it is used in the competition (China's cheering slogan), which has the function of boosting morale and inspiring people. Cheerleading originated from the rituals of early tribal society. In order to encourage soldiers who go out to fight or hunt, they usually hold a ceremony at which people cheer and dance to encourage soldiers and hope to return home in triumph. Modern cheerleading appears as a team, which combines dance (dance), cheering (slogan), partner stunt (partner stunt, which refers to the difficult action of lifting), tumbling (skill), basket throwing (sedan chair throwing), pyramid (pyramid), jumping (jumping) and other action techniques. A sport with music, clothing, formation changes and marked items (such as colored balls, placards, horns and flags) and observing the rules of gender, number of people, time limit and safety in the competition rules is called competitive cheerleading, which can also be called cheerleading. Competitive cheerleading is divided into skill cheerleading and dance cheerleading. Among them, skill cheerleading includes mixed (mixed group), all-female (all-female group) and partner stunts; Dance cheerleading includes Pom (flower ball), High kick (high kick), Jazz (jazz) and Prop (props). 1999, Nana Team, the first professional dance cheerleading team in China, was founded by Wang Huifeng and Huang in Shanghai and became the champion cheerleading team recognized by CBA in China. Subsequently, Shanghai Nana Culture Communication Co., Ltd. was established to spread cheerleading culture and spirit in China and develop cheerleading industry in China. In 2006, Nana's slogan was established-cheer for you! And bring the cheerleaders who just cheer for the game into the enterprise and strive to cheer for the growth of enterprises and individuals! 200 1, CSARA Chinese College Aerobics Rhythmic Gymnastics Association introduced skill cheerleading from the United States to China. In the same year, the Association held the first National Cheerleading Competition for College Students in Guangzhou, which was an unprecedented success, enabling hundreds of millions of young people in China to enjoy the infinite fun brought by cheerleading. Since then, China Cheerleading has been launched in China. The China Student Cheerleading Championship is a competition representing the highest level of skill cheerleading in China, which has been held for five times so far.
