Keep your wrists straight. Have someone who knows help you. Don't be floppy! Pop your moves and keep your head up. SMILE! Be confident and just practice until the tryouts. Good luck! If you happen not to make it, try out for the dance team. But, if you do, you will have so much fun! My daughter was a cheerleader in 8th and 9th and on the high school dance team. Both are fun.

Or, join the Color Guard of the Marching Band, or audition for the school play. The Chorus of a musical production may not have a lot of lines, but they do a lot of dancing and it's a great way to learn coordination, increase your flexibility and is tons of fun.

It's a little painful at first, but it'll help you get flexible. Or sit in the butterfly position. Cheerleaders need to be flexible. Get in shape - do a lot of cardio. Jumping jacks, running, things like that.
