Cheer Expo is coming up this weekend !! For those of you who don't know that is, it is the biggest Cheerleading and Dance competition of the entire year. There will be teams from as far away as Manitoba coming to compete.
For everyone who isn't very familiar with cheerleading; don't expect to see what you see at a football game. This is competitive cheerleading, with many all star teams. This means that people come to cheer the teams on, the cheerleaders actually don't cheer for other athletes because they are superb athletes themselves.
It is a very athletic sport; replace the pom pom's for back tuck baskets, double twists from liberty, and tumbling full twisting layouts.
It really is a show, you will also see kids up to your knees doing things you never even dreamed of doing.
Lucky for me, I'm competing in both divisions, both Cheer and Dance ! I'm with Dartmouth based DCF HEAT Open Level 6, and Saints Marys University Dance Team; Open Dance division. And if my dance team wins at this competition we are going to DANCE WORLDS in Florida, so we'd really love your support !!!!!
Please come and enjoy yourselves, most people I have been talking to said they didn't even know real cheerleading existed in Halifax. Come this weekend and you'll see Bring it On in person !
Where and When: This weekend ! March 26th and 27th, Halifax Forum (2901 Windsor Street). Schedule of team performances at http://www.cheerexpo.com/
