I ask many people around my campus if cheer leading was a sport or not.. i went against my friend who had asked people if dance was a sport or not. Many people had said that dance was a sport and cheer leading wasn't. Cheer and dance are technically the same thing.. in cheer you do dance routines and then you do cheers. cheer is dance but you just make your moves tighter and you do stunts.. but what do u think?
