MX Team Cheer  *(E)

The MX Team Cheer is the traditional camp cheer which uses a universal cheerleading style that encompasses an innovative sequence of basic motions and jumps. This cheer is used as each nominated-athlete’s All-Star Tryout cheer, and can also be used as an option for team evaluation. The MX Team Cheer offers no variations; all cheerleaders (regardless of style/expertise) must be able to execute the cheer exactly as taught. It’s a curriculum element designed to showcase performance versatility.

MX Cheer Movement Technique Class  *(E)

The Cheer, Dance, and Step Divisions of MVMINT Xperience are all connected by one standard class of basic motions and positions. Several motions, lunges, and hand placements are universal for all three divisions, which allows the general MX Movement Technique Class to be virtually shared online for campers to learn throughout their pre-camp experience. The MX Cheer Movement Technique Class is a review of the body positions specific to cheer.

MX Cheer Class  *(E)

The MX Cheer Class levels are offered in two versions suitable for all types of cheerleading teams: Traditional & Stomp N Shake.

MX Cheer Stand N Battle Class *(V, E)

The ever-evolving world of cheerleading now features an exciting performance element known as – Battling! This class offers incredible detail towards the art of battling.
