[quote=Anonymous]I know several former NFL cheerleader captains.

One was a computer science major. She found her passion in dance while a cheerleader and started her own professional dance company, and also travels as a performer, dannce competition judge and dance convention teacher. She is very active in her city's art scene and works to enhance arts in the community.

Another owns a very successful local dance studio.

A third teaches dance while she completes her nursing degree. Her time as a professional cheerleader gave her the opportunity to travel all over the world as a goodwill ambassador, something that girl from a very small midwest town would never had done had it not been for her cheerleading job. However the pay vs the time commitment made it not worth continuing as the time involved interfered with school.

The rest of the women I know either became dance teachers or got their degrees and moved on in life.

Odds aee your daughter will not become an NFL cheerleader so don't let that influence your decision whether or not to let her sign up.

That said, if cheering for the NFL is really your goal, don't sign her up for cheer. She needs to sign up for dance in order to even have a snowballs chance. Start with hip hop and jazz first to see if she like it, then add several hours of ballet (most important), pilates, leaps and turns, and more jazz. Find a studio with a strong competitive program to give her the performance skill. NFL cheerleaders are dancers primarily now, not cheerleaders.[/quote]
