Should parents be concerned about 'cheer culture'?

There should always be concerns when people are around people In this instance, it looks like a whole bunch of very fit people working together to do amazing things that they couldn’t do alone … That’s a healthy model.

Why? This looks like pretty normal cheering.

Just so people know, as a former competitive cheerleader, this is an Allstar group and their routines are different than high school/college competitive squads. The style also depends on the competition. None of this is sexual, nor does it feel that way when participating.

Just need to realize it can be another form of accepted sexualizing and grooming of young girls.

Why? Compared to what the non-sport kids are doing that is wholesome. It takes talent, skill, coordination, confidence, and dedication to do that. Why crap all over it?

Been through this with a grandchild. This seems pretty normal to me. Cheer teams work very hard to get to this this level. They are never alone. Always coaches with them. Always practicing to perfect their routine and prevent injuries.

There's nothing wrong here, and it takes years of practice to reach at this level.

Yes.

Those aren't spirit fingers... THESE are spirit fingers! 👐👐

Choreographed acrobatics? No. If U have a bad coach or their routines=reckless, maybe. But humans will only rise to push the heights of capacity if they're allowed to undertake calculated risks. If Columbus needed to satisfy a helicopter gov't's protectionism we'd not exist.
