We (sadly only Kandi as Casio had to stay in London to do important work things) took our pom poms and pep to Indietracks festival and it went down a treat.
We got a fair sized crowd that ranged from the young to the slightly old (we had a young Dutch girl and her mum, and despite the young girl not knowing any English, she loved it).
It started off with an introduction and a little about Radical Cheerleading, about how it isn't just cheering for someone else, but for things you believe in and most importantly, cheering for yourself!
we all said who we were and one thing we were awesome at.
Followed that up with a warm up (it was super warm at this point, but our knees needed to get bendy). I then taught everyone the importance (and how easy it is to) rhyme.
We learnt some of the staple moves in cheerleading which we then put to an Indietracks cheer.
I split the group in two and they had to write and perform their own cheers, which were both equally awesome!!
We of course ended with a guerrilla cheer performance, we ran out of the workshop tent and caught people on their way from band to band/ the toilet and cheered loud and proud!
I really loved cheering with others and over the course of the weekend quite a few people who atteneded the workshop wanted to know more about radical Cheerleading!
So yes watch this space, a cheerleading workshop might be coming to a town near you!!
Kandi/Seleena!
