Hey there,

My high school didn't have a pep squad, but I was on the competitive cheer team.  The pep squads that i seen at other schools were more like dance teams.  Competitive cheer teams do not really dance, they do a whole lot more of stunts, and gymnastics.  If your goal is to be on the cheer team, I would stay away from the pep squad and take a gymnastics class instead.
