Answer 1

1. Herkie

In a herkie you put one foot out to the side, and the other bent behind you, and jump. Touch both legs with your hands.

2. Toe Touch

Jump and spread your legs as far and high as they can go and touch both sides.

Good luck with tryouts!

Answer 2

preparation--there are different ways cheerleaders can start their jumps and it rely depends on what your coaches say. but for now, start in a high v. swing your arms in an inward circle and your wrist should cross at the bottem. while doing this, bend at the knees and prepare for the jump.

toe touch-- when you jump hit a T motion. your legs should come up to the sides of you, rolling your hips out. try to think of it as trying to poit your toes behind you.

herkie- you do the same with one your legs as if you were doing a toe touch. the other leg should be bent at the knee but still up at the hip.

be sure to keep your chest up, point your toes, and hit it sharp! i hope this helped!
