Discussion on cheerdancing and cheerleading...

^IMO naman po mas mahirap ang Cheerleading since kailangan ng skills for the stunts, tosses and pyramids.. Mas mahirap kasi i-execute yun.. And within the short time (2.5-3mins) kailangan mo mapakita yung skills mo... Yun lang po opinion ko..

I respect your opinion and I get your point.

Pero ikaw ba naman na pagsayawin in between stunts, may hingal factor, tapos bubuo ka ng pyramid, di ba mas mahirap yun? at gagawin mo siya non-stop in span of 5 mins? Besides, all cheerleading skills (tosses, jumps, tumbling, pyramids, etc.) are also required in CDC. With these then add dance pa, yun ang mas nagpapahirap.

Kaya nga towards the end ang dance sequences sa NCC kasi nakakapagod magsayaw.

^That's exactly my point... Kasi kailangan mas mabilis yung transition ng mga pyramids, stunts and tosses sa Cheerleading kasi mas unti po yung time nila para ipakita yung buong routine that's why hinuhuli nila yung dance part kasi pagod na sila sa mga stunts na ginawa nila... Just my opinion..

^Di ba mas mahirap ang CheerLEADING compared to CheerDANCE? Kasi 3 mins lang ata ang time para mapakita ang routine sa CheerLEADING, right?

In international standards cheerleading routine is limited to 2mins 30secs only.

^Ahhh.. 2mins and 30 secs lang pala.. Thanks for the info.. )

technically, masmahirap ang cheerleading. pero masmahirap bumuo ng cheerdance routine compared to cheerleading routine.

sa cheerleading kasi, pagsasamasamahin mo lang naman lahat ng skills ng bawat member ng isang squad. that's it (i think), konting timpla lang ayos na. basta may strong bases, flexible flyers, great tumblers, costume and perfect routine, ayus na. it's all about skills, kung sinong team ang pinakamaraming members na may skills at na-execute ng maayos yung routine, panalo.

sa cheerdance, meron din sila nyan. pero hindi sapat na malampasan lang nila ang skills ng ibang teams, they also need a good concept at tamang timpla ng sayaw at galaw na magugustuhan ng tao. kaya hindi nagsasawa ang fans sa cheerdance e, every year kasi alam nilang may aabangan silang bago at hindi lang mahirap. yes, malaking factor din na mahirap ang routine ng isang team, pero it's not enough.

try watching NCC, kahit mga taong mahilig manood ng cheerleading, mauuta sa pinapanood nila. andami ng kasali, paulit ulit pa. pahirapan lang kasi e. common partner stunts and pyramids. 2-2-1 dito, stag pyramid dun. wala kang makikitang CREATIVE stunts/pyramids and moves. walang coliseo, walang tribo, walang manok. sa cheerdance lang yan.

[bordeaux14]

Yeah.. Cheerdance is more exciting.. Sana h'wag nangg gawing cheerleading since nakikita pa din naman yung skills ng squad if cheerdance ang ginagawa nila..

Nasabi ko na ito sa ibang thread, last year pa yata kung ano ang stand ko on UAAP CheerDANCE versus Western Cheerleading lalo na sa claim na magkaroon ng international standards.

Kasi kung may gustong patunayan ang mga squads na meron silang international standards, nandyan naman ang NCC na mas competitive kasi nationwide ang coverage compared sa UAAP na pito lang ang kalaban ng isang squad. Pwede pa silang sumali sa international competitions kung gugustuhin nila. I agree on adopting international cheerleading rules on safety pero hinding hindi sa scoring and judging. Although, naniniwala ako na malayong mangyari na maging pure cheerleading ang UAAP-CDC.
