Hey guys,
Anyone here do cheerleading for a hs or college team and dance? (dance at a pre-professional level?)
Wondering if it's possible to balance both (:
Thanks for input!

I cheered and danced in high school. I danced Monday Thursday and Friday at my studio, I cheered Tuesday, Saturday and Sunday for an all star team and my school had a dance club that met on wednesdays. I wasn't exactly dancing preprofessionally but I was taking between 9 and 12 lessons a week. It's possibl but you have to have extremely good time management skills because academics always comes first. My parents had a rule that i maintained a 90 average, I could do both, if I dropped under I woul have to give up cheer, if I continued to drop I would have to give up dance. That kept me motivated and it was for the best as I got into a great college. In college I was on the cheer team for two years and I also took a dance class every semester. I've decided this next year to concentrate more on academics and won't be cheerleading. I'll still be dancing though, but just for fun.

Wow, that's great. You must have really had good time management. I don't think I could've pulled that off. haha.

I would love to do both, but first of all, I've been dancing for yearsss now Monday thru Thursday and Saturday mornings. Our cheer team practices Monday thru Thursday with games on Fridays and Saturdays and when there is no game on Saturdays there is a morning practice. Granted for cheer you only have to go to 3 practices each week and 1 game each week, I still think it will be really hard to manage both especially because my studio is like a half hour from my house. I just want to be apart of my high school team for some sport, and cheer is closest to dance. I kind of feel like this is a sign to not do it, but I also don't want to miss out, but dance will always be passion.

Thanks for your input! (:
