CHEERLEADING
Recreation Teams
A fun and social introduction to Cheerleading. Our recreational teams do not participate in competitions, only the Cheer show offs. Students that join Dance Inc. after March in that year may only join the recreational team, where they may be invited to then join a competition team.
State Teams
State: (teams available for ages 3+) These teams participate in Dance Inc. cheerleading show-offs as well as three South Australian competitions. Students must enrol prior to the 1st March in that year to secure a place, and are required to commit to the full year with their team.
National Teams
Dance Inc. National elite teams that are tryout-only teams. These teams participate in Dance Inc. cheerleading show-offs, three South Australian competitions, and will compete at the AASCF National Championships. Students must be selected in the tryouts (held in December of each year) to join these teams. Additional details are available in the information package.
*Entry through tryout only*
CHEER STYLES
Cheerleading is one of the fastest growing sports worldwide, nationally, and even in South Australia. Cheerleading is a diverse sport that caters for everybody involved – it doesn’t matter whether you’re tall or short, if you’re 3 or 33 years old – there is something wonderful that every member brings to their team. Unlike other sports that favour one particular model of an ideal athlete, cheerleading welcomes everybody, and allows every student to bring their own diverse skills to the greater advantage of their team. Dance Inc. is a club that provides internationally qualified and incredibly passionate coaches to deliver to students training of a professional and caring standard. At Dance Inc. we aim to help each individual build on their abilities to help develop a skilled all-round athlete, but ultimately, to have fun, find their strengths, and their fundamental role in the team.
A CHEER routine combines stunting (lifts and tosses), pyramids (linked or combined stunts), and tumbling (gymnastic elements such as cartwheels and walkovers) to create a 2.5-minute routine of fierce teamwork.
Students of cheerleading at Dance Inc. will be placed into a team with athletes of their age group.
Students are placed into teams according to their age. The age of your child for team placement is considered to be the age that they will be on the 31st December, 2022. Please ensure that you check this carefully at the time of Enrolment and if you are unsure, please ask our kind staff.
PLEASE NOTE: ANY NEW ENROLMENTS FROM MARCH 1ST WILL BE PLACED INTO A RECREATIONAL CLASS. UNLESS OTHERWISE NEGOTIATED WITH DANCE INC MANAGEMENT.
