MiQuelW, 2007<br />"That was so VSU. No disrespect to my Woo Woo's, because again, they taught me what I know. But they should REALLY leave the step shows to the Greeks & Step Teams. Like the whole clapping under an upstomp thing... I mean, that's the only reason people don't take them seriously as a squad. :<br /><br />But the girls did what they did beautifully. I loved the execution, but I hated the cheer.<br />-snip-<br />"upstomp" is a characteristic stomp & shake movement that is performed by lifting one leg in time to the beat with the knee bent and the toes pointed.<br /><br />**<br />2. blkmaverick03, 2007<br />"That is their thing though and personally it works for them. Seeing as to how long the woo woos have been around there is no telling if these stepshow tricks came from them or greeks.<br /><br />**<br />3. Mrs. Roc Royal Babee, 2011<br />"@grammerpolise actually the[y] stole it from strikers allstars who stole it from school days who stole it from traditional stepping."<br />-snip-<br />"School days" refers to the 1988 Spike Lee movie School Daze which is a "story about fraternity and sorority members clashing with other students at a historically black college during homecoming weekend. It also touches upon issues of colorism and hair texture bias within the African-American community.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_Daze<br /><br />The words "traditional stepping" in that comment refers to historically Black Greek letter fraternity and sorority stepping.<br /><br />**<br />4. KORTNI HERNANDEZ, 2012<br />"@grammerpolise, every team "borrows" a move or two from someone else. Don't get mad because they did it WELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!""<br /><br />Azizi Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963772326145910073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5893219718076521675.post-56020481969322875922022-05-30T09:08:48.693-04:002022-05-30T09:08:48.693-04:00Here's a comment about middle school stomp &am...Here's a comment about middle school stomp & shake cheerleading squads stealing cheers from high school stomp &shake squads:<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptN4nmBMAA8" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptN4nmBMAA8</a> "He traveled", published by DCH cheers, Nov. 11, 2017<br />Kendall, 2021<br />"The junior highs in my district just do pretty much the same cheers as each other they just substitute their names in. And what’s funny is that they steal all the cheers from the high school cheerleaders so we hear the same cheers all throughout junior high and highschool"<br />Azizi Powellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14963772326145910073noreply@blogger.com
