Cheerleader’s ‘optical illusion’ dance routine will go down in their school’s history

Homecoming is one of the things that make people, teenagers, in particular, feel excited about going back to school. It’s an event where former students and members are welcomed back to the school and the organization’s existence is celebrated. It’s a way for the school to let alumni know that they’re still a huge part of the institution.

Homecoming performances are a huge deal and one cheerleading squad really took it seriously.

Their routine was so good that it’s video became an instant hit worldwide.

The performance started just like most cheerleading routines. The cheerleaders walked towards the center of the gymnasium with their hands behind them, their chins were held high.

Then, they started getting into formation.

That’s when the music filled the room and the girls started popping up in waves. Their moves were so fluid and full of precision. Their human-domino move was so good that people started screaming and cheering them on!

For the next part of their routine, the girls were all lying down on the floor. Despite that, they were still able to be in sync with each other. No one missed a step or was late even though they weren’t looking at each other.

A couple of minutes into the performance, the cheerleaders formed a long line. They created wave-like motions that were so accurate. It was entertaining and hypnotic at the same time.

Then, they stepped it up!

The girls formed two lines on the floor. And holding each other’s arms, they created this moving pattern that caused the crowd to go wild. It’s unlike anything you’ve seen before.

As one of the viewers of their video commented:

“Whoever choreographed this is a legend.”

Another one said:

“I feel like I’m watching a master piece not highschoolers.”

The cheerleaders also showed off their amazing dancing skills.

When the song “Thrift Shop” came on, they started dancing. Their moves were equally as good as their cheerleading skills.

The cheerleaders got people hooked.

And that doesn’t come as a surprise. Their moves were so good that you won’t be able to look away even for a second.

The video was uploaded years back and the cheerleaders are probably no longer teenagers by now. Despite that, people are still falling in love with them and their performance today.

Cheerleading is considered as one of the hardest sports around. It also happens to be a dangerous sport for females because of the high risk of injuries.

People who are into cheerleading go through a lot. They put hours of practice and hard work. They need to be physically and mentally strong to play their parts. They also need to establish a lot of trust in their co-cheerleaders.

With how those girls pulled off such a performance, they must have trained really hard for it. It’s not easy to achieve that level of synchronization. Creating and delivering the performance probably required months and months of rehearsals.

Watch the incredible routine in the video below.
