Cheerdance is coined from the words, cheer and dance. To cheer is to shout out words or phrases that may help motivate
and boost the morale of a playing team and perform better during a game. Dance, on the other hand, is a physical activity
where one expresses emotions or gestures while performing bodily movements usually in time with rhythm.

Cheerdancing rooted from cheerleading. Cheerleading is the performance of a routine, usually dominated by gymnastic
skills such as jumps, tumbling skills, lifts and tosses combined with shouting of cheers and yells to lead the crowd to cheer
for a certain team during a game or sport. It originated in the United States.

Due to Filipinos’ love for dancing, they added more dance routines to their cheers and came up with the term cheer dance
wherein it is a routine composed of yells and cheers, gymnastic skills (pyramids and tosses, stunts, tumbling skills, arm
and hand positions and jumps), and dance (fusion of different dance genres).

Today, cheerdancing is identified as one of the most spectacular events in one of the biggest collegiate sports events in the
country, the UAAP (University Athletic Association of the Philippines).
