DIFFERENCE OF CHEERDANCING AND CHEERLEADING

- Cheerdancing is rooted from cheerleading.
-Cheerleading as we all know developed in the United States of America. But did you know that the
Philippines has had developed Cheerdancing?
-Cheerdancing in all levels has always been the opening salvo for intramurals in campuses in the
Philippines.
The difference between Cheerleading and Cheerdancing is that cheerleading has its foundation in
Gymnastics. And as for Cheerdance, it's foundation lies in the Choreography where Ballet seems to be its
foundation.
 Cheer motions are made up of hand, arm, and body positions. Although cheer styles may vary according to
the cheerleaders’ preferences, all motions originate from the standard basic motions.
 Cheerleading Formations are crucial to the success of a squad’s performance. 
 Bowling Pin – the formation is set up like bowling pins in a bowling alley. This works great when
highlighting a few members on a squad or team. 
 Staggered Line – a simple line where the back line is positioned in the windows of the front line. Vertical
lines in formation highlight differences in levels rather than suggest squad uniformity. 
 Cheer dance Routines require a mixture of dance music and some cheer segment to kick off a routine.
They may be arranged in any order depending on the squad’s choreography. The duration or length per
segment also depends on the competition’s criteria.
 Today, cheerdancing is identified as one of the most spectacular events in one of the biggest collegiate
sports events in the country, the UAAP (University Athletic Association of the Philippines).

V. APPLICATION. Monitor the Level of your performance task in number 2 using task 1 form. Don’t forget
your safety protocol like dehydration etc.
TASK 1: My Target Heart Rate (to determine the intensity level target)
Directions: Go over your recorded fitness results from the self-testing activity as basis in computing the target
heart rate (THR) range. Compute you target Heart rate range in 4 steps. Fill in the blanks below.
MY TARGET HEART RATE
Name: ________________________________Date: _____________Year/Section:____________________

1. Get the Maximum Heart Rate Example:

MHR = 220 - _____ (your age) Age: 15 RHR: 60
MHR = __________ MHR = 220 – 15
MHR = 205
 2. Determine the Heart Rate Reserve
HRR = MHR - _______________ (Resting Heart Rate) HRR = 205 – 60
HRR = _____________________ HRR = 145

3. Take 60% and 80% of the HRR

a. 60% x HRR = _________________ 60% x 145 = 87
b. 80% x HRR = _________________ 80% x 145 = 116

4. Add each HRR to Resting Heart Rate (RHR) to obtain the Target Heart Rate (THR) range.

a. 60% HRR 87 + 60
(RHR) = 147 beats per minute

b. 80% x HRR 116 + 60

(RHR) = 176 beats per minute

Therefore, your target heart rate range is 147 to 176 beats per minute.
(4.a) (4.b)
(When performing physical activities, your heart rate is within the normal range therefore, you have to select
moderate- vigorous activities that will make your heart rate pump within the THR range of from 147 to 176
beats per minute.)

TASK 2. (Don’t forget to fill up the information before, during and after the performance.) Pretend your group
is auditioning to be cheerleaders for your school's basketball team/ or wants to be part of school team. Create a
40 seconds to one-minute cheer routine with a catchy chant and music, and movements that would highlight
different hand movements and squad formation. Record the routine and send via messenger.

TASK 3. COVID -19 NEXT TOP MODEL. Model your self at least 10 basic essential of cheerdancing.
