Hire a Cheerleading Choreographer

 

As choreographers, our job is to create the most exciting and visually appealing routine for the teams we work with. Whether you are a school, allstar or professional team, here are some tips to make the most of your choreography day:

 

1 - Seat Rolls and Cartwheels: Teach seat rolls and cartwheels to both sides. Choreographers waste a lot of time with basic transitional skills like seat rolls also known as "side rolls" or "pig rolls". Also teaching cartwheels to both sides not only gives you a fun simple visual but teaches the athletes more about body control and coordination as well.

 

2 - Work on Technique: Choreographers will have a hard time building creative chroeography if skills and technique are weak. The best choreography will not be able to mask weak teams, and a choreographer can only work on developing your EXISTING skills, so make sure when the choreographer arrives your team can showcase your existing skills solidy and confidently

 

3 - Add motions to skills: While going through jumps or tumbling at practice add a few motions before/after your skills. This will help teach your athletes move quickly in and out of skills prior to choreography camp as well as starting to teach them how to pick up choreography.

 

4 - Conditioning: Choreographers will have a hard time choreographing a team that is not well conditioned. How the routine is mapped and the difficulty of the choreography will also depend on how fit your team is and how much they are able to cope with physically. If you need help with your team's conditioning have a look at the INTENSITY program by Cheerobics®, designed specifically for cheer.

 

5 - Name Tags: Choreographers travel around the country and even the world working with hundreds of cheerleaders! Trying to remember everyones name, although possible, is a very difficult task. Help them out and make tye dye shirt name tags or head band name tags for them to wear at choreography camp. GET CREATIVE!  This is something you can do at your team bonding or at the end of a tough summer practice! Popsicles with arts and crafts, the kids will love it!
