Summary: 4 Stars
I am a former cheerleader and cheerleading coach and really enjoy this DVD. I bought it for my young daughter and loaned it out to some of my cheerleaders when coaching.
It teaches the basics: the motions and what they're called, some cheers and chants, and one really fun dance routine. It also goes a little bit into what it means to be a cheerleader for your school and what will be expected of you and the code of conduct that you'll be expected to follow.
It does NOT go into jumps or stunting at all. The stunting is definitely something cheerleaders don't want to learn from a DVD, but I was disappointed that they didn't teach any jumps.
Another reviewer somewhere else, a former cheerleader, gave this DVD low marks because she expected to get a good workout from it and relive the good-old-days. Let me just point out to everyone, this is an instructional DVD for beginners. It's not a workout DVD and it's not for cheerleaders that already have a lot of cheer experience.
Also, the organization that put this DVD together is the UCA, one of the biggest cheer-instruction organizations out there. They've been conducting cheer clinics all over the country for many years. Other cheer organizations do some motions differently or have different names for them. There is no right or wrong way, but aspiring cheerleaders should know this in case they make it on a squad coached by someone trained by one of the other groups. Always follow your coach's instructions and don't challenge him or her with these differences.
One more word of advice for aspiring cheerleaders: unless you live in a very rural, small town with a small student population and are sure there won't be much competition at try-outs, TAKE GYMNASTIC CLASSES. Cheerleading has become very athletic and competitive. To increase your chances in the more populated areas, you will need tumbling skills. Dance classes - especially hip-hop - wouldn't hurt either. Yoga - to increase balance and flexability - would help a lot, too.
Good luck!

I purchased this for my daughter just before her 7th birthday. It has kept her more active this winter. She enjoys the warm up stretch, the cheers and the dance moves. I got this just for fun but she has surprised me with how much she has learned. She now knows the names of many of the arm positions. This dvd is good for those girls who dream of being a cheerleader when they grow up. have fun.Movie Review: Great dance routine on this video!!!
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased this video for my cheerleading squad at a middle school. I was able to teach the class the dance on it, and the girls loved it. The girls are getting better at it. I did not think that the dance would be easy, but they managed to pick it up and they are excited.Movie Review: Great Video!

Great video for beginning cheerleaders or new coaches. Gives detailed instruction on cheer basics (motions etc.) Also has some great simple cheers/chants and sidelines every squad can use.
