Cheerleaders and Dancers
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper comparing and contrasting some of the actions of dancers and cheerleaders, written from the perspective that cheerleaders are inferior in every respect. Most larger cheerleading squads interject an interlude of something they call dance into their routines, but the definition of this dance is that it is different in form from throwing friends into the air and then jumping up and down. The cheerleader’s dance is evidence that the language needs at least one more word. Meeting attendees can table an issue or they can leave items on a table as they leave a room. There is as much similarity in those actions as there is in the dance of a dancer and that of a cheerleader. No sources.
