Which one is better? i was gonna try out for the cheer squad at my school but then i decided to do dance instead. i can only try out for one. anyway my reasoning was that after high school cheer isnt really as big as it is during high school and you cant really take it with you when you get older. for dance you can do dance all the time even when youre old and you can make a career out of it. who ever heard of cheer being a profession. so thats what i think. what do you think?

i think you have to pick based on which one you like better, not on your future career choices. cheerleading can lead you to scholarships in college, pro cheerleading, coaching, ect. but go with which one makes you happiest

reallistically, if ur looking at one team that u can actually be on, id say tryout for cheerleading. The tryouts are usally less intense and things are easier to pick up, if u tryout for a dance team, ther's really no telling if you'd be able to make it or not, if u don't have all your skill down pat and your solo isn't good enough and you can learn a dance quick enough. Everyone knows what makes up cheer tryouts though and really what you can do to make them. But if you're confident i both then i think the one that would be most fun would be dance! , hope that helped!

^I don't think that cheer try outs are less intense! Really, I wouldn't base your decision on which is easier. Pick what you truly love! Cheer can lead to scholarships, which is really good. Dance can lead to scholarships too!

It's unlikely that cheer or dance at a school level will lead to anything after high school. Those cheerleaders who go on to get the college scholarships or cheer competitively are usually ex gymnasts who had years and years of training in gymnastics, or tumbling or sports acrobatics. Same for dance, those who go on to make a career in the dance world don't tend to come from high school dance teams. They spend many hours a week training in studio's outside school.

I suggest you dance. If your really looking towards the future then do dance. Remember, you can still cheer once your older. Look at the laker girls, Lol. But, I'm sure to cheer for a pro-basketball team (Or pro whatever) when your older you'll need to go through a lot of things and it will be really hard.
