Spirit Squads Wrap-up Nationals with Strong Finishes (Jan. 18, 2009)
More than 3,000 of the country’s top college cheerleaders, dancers and mascots competed at this year's UCA/UDA Collegiate National Cheer and Dance championship held in Orlando at Disney’s Wide World of Sports Complex.
The event was supported by over 6,000 family members and friends. Spirit squad cheerleading and dance teams from 43 states and 152 universities and colleges participated in the competition. The LSU cheerleaders and Tiger Girls finished among the best with a strong 5th place finish in Division 1A cheer and 2nd and 6th place finishes in Division 1A hip hop and jazz. This is the highest among all teams combined cheer and dance performances.
Alabama, Cincinnati, Florida State, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, LSU, Mississippi State, Michigan, Minnesota, Ole Miss, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Penn State, Tennessee, Central Florida and Memphis were a few of the Division I-A schools represented.
The Tiger Girls are under the Direction of Pauline Zernott and are coached by Denise Dicharry and Alisha Andrepont. For more information about the Tiger Girl program or to schedule and appearance by the Tiger Girls, please contact Pauline Zernott at PZernott@lsu.edu.
How can I prepare for the annual LSU Tiger Girl Dance Team Auditions (typically in mid-spring)?
We are looking for well-rounded dancers in all areas of jazz, hip-hop and pom technique. If you have not had experience in a certain area of dance, it is recommended to please gain experience prior to auditions. Our Audition clinic is a great resource. Dance Studios and College squads are also great resources to find help with private lessons.
In addition, if you do not dance on a high school squad and you are on a competitive team only, please consider getting a private coach to assist you in learning “game day” cheerleading. Being talented is important but you must also know how to “lead a crowd” and cheer in front of fans as well as dance. Your Performance score will play a vital role in the audition process.
While we do not have a weight or height restriction, our girls range in size from 100 pounds to 145 pounds and 5’0 to 5’11. Your appearance score and technical scores are extremely important and typically carry the same percentage at tryouts. A combination of appearance, technique, hip hop, pom and performance will all factor in to an “overall effect” score.
