[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just a quick note, cheer and poms are two different sports. My observation about acrobatics is that almost all of the kids who get good at it started young. [/quote]

They are not.  It's just what pom moms tell themselves to feel better.[/quote]

2 completely different sports. Poms is dance. Cheer has tumbling, stunts, and some dance. In general, the girls with a dance background, do poms in high school and the girls with the gymnastics background, do cheerleading.[/quote]

Ask an actual dancer if poms is dance.  You will be laughed out of the room.[/quote]

I don't get why you are so bitter.  There are so many types of dance and Poms is one of them.

But for OP, most Poms on high level teams have spent many years in a dance studio and some Poms go on to compete on college dance teams (or poms teams or club dance or poms).  Poms is like a synchronized dance team.  In order to make a team, the athlete has to have certain dance move skills and a lot of flexibility.  The competition rules for Poms differ from the competition rules for cheer.  PP who compared cheer to gymnastics has pretty much captured a big difference in the rules.  Poms do not do stunts like cheerleaders do.  Both require the competitor to have good athletic skills and a lot of stamina.  But they are very different.  [/quote]
