A cheerleading stunt is a coordinated movement performed by a group of cheerleaders, typically involving lifting one or more members into the air. These stunts can vary in complexity, from simple lifts to intricate formations, and are designed to showcase strength, balance, and teamwork. Safety is a priority, and cheerleaders often use mats and spotters to prevent injuries. Stunts are commonly seen at sporting events and competitions, where they enhance the overall performance and engage the audience. Cheerleading teams practice these stunts regularly to improve their skills and ensure smooth execution during routines.
