Recently, we’ve been focused on giving you a general overview of basic cheer motions with the focus on the position of the arms, so don’t forget to review our other cheer motion articles and our cheer stances articles to get tips to help you perfect all your moves! Once we’ve mastered your moves, check out the complete guide of Tips and Tricks for Cheerleading Tryouts! You may perform these moves, or see them performed, slightly different than described in this article. These motions can be used while a cheerleader is on the ground or up in a stunt, and the position of his or her feet will vary from being shoulder width apart to being together, depending on when and how the motion is being used. You may also know some of these moves by different names, since cheerleading teams might refer to a move by a unique, regional name. Many of these moves are combinations of other basic, more common moves that were covered in earlier articles. High V and Modified High Broken V Combination For this combination, bring one arm into a High V and the other into a modified High Broken V where your hand is placed behind your head instead of in front of your chest. This move can be done as a left or right motion. The arm that stays in the High V position will determine the direction of the move. Low V and Modified High Broken V Combination For this combination, bring one arm into a Low V and the other into a modified High Broken V where your hand is placed behind your head instead of in front of your chest. This move can be done as a left or right motion. The arm that stays in the Low V position will determine the direction of the move. Touchdown and Daggers Combination For this combination, bring one arm into a Touchdown position and the other into a Dagger position. This move can be done as a left or right motion. The arm that stays in the Touchdown position will determine the direction of the move. Low Touchdown and Daggers Combination For this combination, bring one arm into a Low Touchdown position and the other into a Dagger position. This move can be done as a left or right motion. The arm that stays in the Low Touchdown position will determine the direction of the move.
