Stomp & Shake Cheers With Known Originators (Part I : "A-I")

Edited by Azizi Powell 

This is Part I of a three pancocojams series that presents a small number of titles of cheers that have been attributed to a specific stomp & shake cheerleading team (squad) and/ or have been popularized by specific cheerleading teams or other entities*. 

 This post lists cheers whose titles begin with "A-J".

Click __ for Part II of this pancocojams series. That post lists cheers whose titles begin with the letters "K-P"

Click __ for Part III of this pancocojams series. That posts lists stomp &shake cheers whose titles begin with the letters "Q-Z".

These posts don't include the words for these stomp & shake cheers.**

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS. Please add to these list and include any documentation that you are aware of. Thanks!

The content of this post is presented for historical, cultural, and recreational purposes.

Thanks to all the originators and the popularizers** of these cheers and thanks to ll of the past and present members of the cheerleading teams who are noted in this pancocojams post.

*By "popularized" I mean a cheerleading team or some other entity such as a movie or another mass media entity that was the first or the most well known entity to popularize a stomp & shake cheer when the originator for that cheer isn't known, or even if the originator for that cheer is known (Example: "Shabooya Roll Call" was featured in Spike Lee's 1996 movie Get On The Bus and was popularized by the 2006 cheerleader movie Bring It All Or Nothing. However, there's anecdotal records that "Shabooya Roll Call" was performed by African American high school cheerleaders before either of those movies.)

PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
Most traditional, mainstream ("Go team go") cheers have no known composer. They are called "universal cheers" only because it's likely that no attempt was made to document their composers. But that doesn't have to be the fate of stomp & shake cheers. We can do the work that is needed to document which cheerleading squad was the first to perform a specific stomp & shake cheer.

Just as it is routine for collectors of songs and rhymes to attempt to gather as much demographic information as possible (such as who, where & when), it should be routine for people interested in stomp & shake cheers to document which stomp & shake cheerleader squad (and/or the member/s of that squad) composed specific cheers, when that was, and if the words for that cheer were modified by that squad, when that occurred.

These attributions include online links for sources, or other citations. In some cases, the term "YouTube videos" are used when I (and/or others) believe that those videos attribute that particular cheerleading squad as the original composer of that cheer. 

Unfortunately, this project is complicated as there is disagreement among some stomp & shake cheerleading squads about which squad performed specific cheers first, and/or whether a particular cheer that is associated with one stomp & shake cheerleading squad is based on a cheer that is attributed to another stomp & shake squad. This list might include such entries, along with the notes that indicates this disagreement.

Unless former and present day stomp & shake cheerleaders and others people who have direct knowledge about the composition of stomp & shake cheers begin to document which cheers were originally composed by which cheerleading squads, any attempts to document those cheers will be in vain. Instead, just like traditional cheers, all or most stomp & shake cheers will be considered "universal cheers" with no squad given their proper respect for their compositions.

I hope this doesn't happen, but I'm concerned that it will.

"All Y' All Cheers Are Boring" Stomp & Shake Cheerleading Cheer (Discussion Thread Comments: Compliments & Criticisms))

Edited by Azizi Powell

Latest revision -May 15, 2026

This is Part II of a two part pancocojams series about the stomp & shake cheerleading cheers "You Make Me Fall Asleep" and "All Y'all Cheers Are Boring".

That post presents selected representative comments from the discussion threads for the two showcased videos of Y' All Cheers Are Boring" that were showcased in Part I of this pancocojams series. The comments from the second discussion thread focus on those which labeled those cheerleaders as copying the cheerleader performance in the first video.  

Click https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2026/05/similarities-and-differences-between.html for Part I of this pancocojams series. That pancocojams post showcases a YouTube video  of "You Make Us Go To Sleep" cheer and two YouTube videos of the "All Y' All Cheers Are Boring" cheer. 

The words for those cheers are included in that post along with information about and my description of the similarities and differences between those basketball stomp & shake cheerleading cheers. 
 

The content of this post is presented for historical, socio-cultural, and recreational purposes.

Thanks to the creators of these cheers. Thanks to all those who are featured in these videos and thanks to the publishers of this video on YouTube. Thanks also to all those who are quoted in this post.

PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE

The comments about "copying" or "stealing" stomp & shake cheers/cheer routines are a continuation of the subject of stomp & shake cheerleader teams "copying" other teams' cheers and/or the routines for those cheers that I first first explored in this 2015 pancocojams post:

https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2026/05/copying-or-stealing-other-cheerleading.html for the pancocojams post entitled "Copying" Or "Stealing" Cheers From Other Stomp & Shake Cheerleading Teams (complete reprint)".

As documented in that 2015 pancocojams post, it appears that the majority of commenters on this subject still have negative opinions about stomp & shake cheerleader teams "copying" .

The negative opinion about "copying" is-in part- a reflection and carryover to how "copying" and being "a copycat" are negatively viewed in American culture. One reason that I have come across for this opinion is that "copying" a cheer (especially also  copying another cheerleading team's routine for that cheer) is interpreted as the cheerleader team that copied not being creative or original.  

This pancocojams post doesn't fully reflect the fact that, although a large number of commenters in the discussion thread for the second video of "All Y' All Cheers Are Boring" negatively labeled that performance as a copy, some of those same commenters and many other commenters praised the cheerleader teams' performance of that cheer, using African American contemporary complimentary phrases such as "They ate" and "They clocked it".

The Stomp & Shake Cheers "You Make Us Go To Sleep" and "All Y' All Cheers Are Boring" (Videos)

SHOWCASE VIDEO #1- YOU MAKE US GO TO SLEEP

@brittanymarie485 and @SaginawDanceShowcase, November 20, 2025
-snip-
Based on several comments in this video's discussion thread, this high school stomp & shake cheerleading team's name is "The Panthers" (A number of commenters in this discussion thread and in another video's discussion thread on this cheer referred to this cheerleader team as "The Tigers".) I don't know the name of the school and where that school is located.

Based on comments in Tik Tok videos and in other YouTube video shorts, this cheer and its routine were probably created by Sparkman High School (Alabama) in 2023. 

This YouTube video is also included in the February 2025 pancocojams post entitled  "You Make Us Go To Sleep" Stomp & Shake Basketball Cheers (videos, words, and descriptions)

https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-yall-tiredyou-make-us-go-to-sleep.html

Here are the words to that cheer as it is performed in this YouTube video short*:
Captain: You make us go to sleep.
Captain - I SAID
Team - We're tired and you make us go to sleep!
You tried to compete but now you gon' be beat
You make us go to sleep
You make us go to sleeepppp [cheerleaders pull out their small blankets and collapse on the bleachers, pretending to be asleep.]

*This is my attempt at transcribing this cheer mostly from the captions on the video and from two other online examples of that cheer. Additions and corrections are welcome.

This cheer appears to have originated with this cheerleading team who may have been inspired by the earlier cheer "You Make Us Go To Sleep" and cheer routine with its iconic falling asleep ending.

This is the video that is referred to in the discussion thread for the video that is given as "Showcase video #3".

Here are the words to this cheer: 

Captain-BORING!
The entire team- Boring!
All your cheers are boring
We about to get snoring
A  a BORING! [fall on their bleacher seats or on the gym floor pretending to fall sleep]
-snip-
These cheerleaders don't cover themselves with a small blanket like the "You Make Us Go To Sleep" did.)

DESCRIPTION OF THE "'ALL Y'ALL CHEERS ARE BORING" COMPARED TO THE WORDS AND DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBEDDED VERSION OF "YOU MAKE ME FALL ASLEEP"

"You Make Me Fall Asleep" and "All Y' All Cheers Are Boring" are both basketball stomp and shake cheers. These cheers can be considered "battle cheers" (A "battle cheer" is a stomp and shake cheer that is performed to diss (insult) another cheerleading team and/or to big up the cheerleading team that is performing that cheer.)

The words and ending motion of  All Y' All Cheers Are Boring" cheer are clearly inspired by the cheer entitled "You Make Us Go To Sleep". Click https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2025/02/the-yall-tiredyou-make-us-go-to-sleep.html for the February 2025 pancocojams post entitled "You Make Us Go To Sleep" Stomp & Shake Basketball Cheer/s (videos, words, and descriptions).

Similarities between these cheers
In both of the cheer videos that are showcased in this pancocojams post, the cheerleading teams perform the characteristic upstomps (raising the right knee and performing bass sounding foot stomping motions alternating with individual hand claps)

The "falling asleep" ending motion in the "All Y'All Cheers Are Boring" videos are very similar to the ending  motion of the "You Make Me Go To Sleep" cheer. Because of its similar theme and its ending motion, I believe that "You Make Me Go To Sleep" was the inspiration for the "All Y'all Cheers Are Boring" cheers. 

Differences between these cheers
Each the three examples of  "You Make Me Go To Sleep" cheers that are  documented in the above mentioned 2025 pancocojams post are "bleacher cheers" (i.e. the cheerleaders perform the cheer while standing or sitting in the gym bleachers during the basketball game.)

A key difference between the ending of the "All Y'All Cheers Are Boring" routines and the routines of the three videos in that above mentioned 2025 pancocojams post is that the cheerleader teams that performed "You Make Me Go To Sleep" ended their version of that cheer by pulling out a small blanket from the floor of the bleacher seat where they were standing and put that blanket over them when they to collapse on the bleacher seats as if they had fallen asleep.

The first showcased video of "All Y' All Cheers Are Boring" (the originators of this cheer?) features most of the cheerleaders performing the cheer in the bleachers. The second video of that cheer features a younger group of African American female cheerleaders performing a floor cheer version of "All Y 'All Cheers Are Boring". While both of these cheerleading teams end their routine by collapsing in a pretend sleep, neither of those teams have a small blanket covering them as is the case with the "You Make Us Go To Sleep" routines.

"Copying" Or "Stealing" Cheers From Other Stomp & Shake Cheerleading Teams (complete reprint)

Edited by Azizi Powell

This is a complete reprint (with minor changes) of a pancocojams post that was originally published in 2015. https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2015/06/stealing-stomp-shake-cheers.html 
This post presents comments from online discussion threads and my editorial comments about stomp and shake cheerleaders performing cheers and cheer routines that were created by other cheerleading teams. (Some commenters refer to this as "copying cheers" while others refer to it as "stealing cheers".)

This pancocojams post focuses on Winston Salem State University (North Carolina)'s cheerleading squad doing their "Rock" cheer.  This post also includes examples of and comments about other cheerleading squads performing that cheer.

The Addendum of this post presents two comments that I wrote in the discussion thread for that 2015 pancocojams post. These are the only comments in that discussion thread as of the publication date of this 2026 post. That 2015 post is still available and additional comments are welcome.

This is an ongoing pancocojams series about cheerleaders' and other people's opinions about "copying" and/or "stealing" stomp and shake cheerleaders cheers/cheer routines.

PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTES [revised May 28, 2022]
A number of comments on various YouTube discussion threads that I've come across in 2022 indicate that it's not possible to steal stomp & shake cheers because those cheers are "universal."

Let's be clear. There's no such thing as a "universal" stomp & shake cheer.

Commenters who write about universal stomp & shake cheers may be basing that opinion on the fact that most traditional (go to go) cheers have no known composer. While that is true, it's likely because no attempt was made to document the composers of those cheers. Stomp & shake cheers don't have to follow that same path. Because stomp & shake cheerleading is relatively new*, it's possible to document which cheerleading squad was the first to perform a specific cheer.   

Instead of using the term "universal" stomp & shake cheer, the terms "popular cheers" and/or "widely known cheers" could be used.

Apart from the debate about whether stomp & shake cheers are stolen if they are performed by squads that didn't compose them or by squads that don't have permission from their original creators to perform them,  if and when another squad's cheer is performed, that cheerleading squad should be given its due respect and given credit for its composition. 
-snip-
*Based on my online research, stomp & shake cheers were first performed at the university level in the 1970s (at Virginia State University and at Winston Salem State University).

Click  
http://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2015/06/when-did-stomp-shake-cheerleading-begin.html for the pancocojams post entitled "When Did Stomp & Shake Cheerleading Begin? (Online Comments & Website Statements)".

****
IMPORTANCE OF ORIGINALITY
Stomp & shake cheerleading places a high value on originality in the composition of cheers and in the creation of cheer routines. If a stomp & shake cheerleading squad does perform a cheer that comes from another squad, they lose points (in the eyes of spectators) if they perform the exact same routine for that cheer that the other squad (or that any other squad) does.

This is particularly true for post high school (university/college) stomp and shake cheerleading squads.

Here's a comment exchange about this from a 2019 discussion thread about a North Carolina high school cheer battle:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOfdtSC__x8 GREATEST CHEER BATTLE: Carver High School Vs. Winston Salem Prep Academy, published by Two Sockz Productions, Feb.1, 2018

Pat Mitchell, 2017
"Overall great battle, however so many other cheers seen in this video: WSSU, HUHS, seen a little blue chip. I think it’s okay to use other cheers and even melodies but don’t take them directly"
-snip-
Explanation of abbreviations:
WSSU= Winston Salem State University (North Carolina)

HUHS= Harding University High School (Charlotte, North Carolina)
Blue Chips = the name of St. Augustine University's cheerleading squad (Raleigh North Carolina)

Reply
Bobby Rashaad, 2017
"Pat Mitchell right u suppose too remix them and make em better"
-snip-
Sometimes in a cheer battle, the rival squad will respond to a cheer by chanting the exact same cheer that that squad had just performed, to show that their routine for that cheer is hotter than the other squad's. 

Here's a comment about that from the same discussion thread about the cheer battle between Carver High School and Winston Salem Prep Academy:
Let's Talk, 2018, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOfdtSC__x8 
"You know the beef is real when the team is using the other team  cheers they said we can do your own cheers better than you 😂😂😂"
-snip-
"Your own cheers" doesn't mean that the squad actually composed those cheers.

However, another commenter from that same discussion thread wrote this:

Debbie Tripp, 2018,https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MOfdtSC__x8  
..."Let's be real, if your squad follows with the exact same cheer, you're going to get booed. That's about not being original, not sportsmanship. Just like if you were at the Apollo".
-snip-
"at the Apollo" refers to the audiences at Harlem's (New York City's) "Showtime At The Apollo" shows that are known for relentlessly booing an act that they don't like.

"LOL I SO LOVE THIS VIDEO ITS TO SHADY YOU'RE SITTING RIGHT BESIDE THEM STEALING BLUE CHIPS IM SURE HE AND THE OTHERS ARE WATCHING TO SEE WHAT THEY CAN STEAL FOR NEXT YEAR EXHIBITION"
-snip-

"Blue Chips" is the name of St. Augustine University's stomp & shake cheerleading squad. St. Augustines is in Raleigh, North Carolina.  

*Here's information about CIAA
From https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Central_Intercollegiate_Athletic_Association "The Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA)...is a collegiate athletic conference, mostly consisting of historically black colleges and universities. CIAA institutions are affiliated at the Division II level of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).

Conference members are primarily located in North Carolina (eight) and Virginia (two). There is also one school from Maryland and another from Pennsylvania....

The CIAA cheering squads practice Stomp 'N Shake that incorporates voice, gymnastics, and dance."
-snip-
Here are a few comments from http://www.lipstickalley.com/showthread.php/484118-Stomp-n-Shake-Cheerleading-!!!-East-Compton-Clovers-Who about other historically Black Colleges & Universities (HBCU) "stealing" Winston Salem State University's cheer/cheer routines:
Bootylicious, 03-05-2013,
Topic: "Stomp-n-Shake Cheerleading !!! East Compton Clovers Who?"
"The Real Life East Compton Clovers!!! Yes Gurls Red Team SLAYS every other HBCU Cheerleading team in America!! I love the slander!!!
-snip-
The "Clovers" is the name of the fictitious predominately Black cheerleading squad from East Compton, California in the 2000 movie Bring It On, the first in a series of six American movies that were centered around high school cheerleading competitions. In that first Bring It On movie members of the "Toros", a suburban, predominately White cheerleader squad weren't aware that a former captain had stolen most of their routines from the Clovers.

"WSSU cheers are stolen right off youtube by cheerleading squads all across america from middle & high school to pop warner and college teams. WSSU also stunts and tumbles but the CIAA banned stunting. The CIAA is famous for it;s Stomp-n-Shake style of cheerleading which is famous in the Carolina's, Virginia, Maryland."

**
2. Boobie Miles, 03-05-2013
quote from another commenter:
"they are talking about how people steal their choreography from Youtube, but everything I just saw in that video was directly inspired from a Black Greek Stepshow... no shade"
...Search for WSSU cheerleaders on twitter and post your results ;-) the CIAA crowd loves WSSU and [they] received the loudest applause at the end of the show."
-snip-
While WSSU's cheerleading squads and their fans are very critical of others using their cheers/cheer routines, it is a fact that they publish a number of videos of their cheers on YouTube and it is also a fact that WSSU cheerleaders & fans are proud that those videos are quite popular online.

For example, here's an excerpt of an interview with the WSSU Head Cheerleading Coach Joevanne Estrada:
http://archive.constantcontact.com/fs039/1102836658889/archive/1110810635530.html "WSSU RAM BITS"
"What are the most popular cheers done by WSSU Cheerleaders?
DO IT, SURVIVAL, SOME PEOPLE DON'T LIKE, POWERHOUSE, AND ROCK.

How has the WSSU Cheerleading style evolved over the years?*
The WSSU Cheerleaders have mastered incorporating both the "traditional" and "stomp & shake" style in their dynamic show stopping routines. The programs stunt, tumble, and dance program has advanced like no other and continues to dominate all of the HBCU's conference programs. The WSSU cheerleader's routines are the most viewed through internet and social media sites, over 1 million on youtube. as well as imitated by recreation, middle/high schools, and other colleges throughout the nation.

INFORMATION ABOUT WSSU'S CHEER "ROCK" 
[Update 9/21/2016]
Here's information from this article written by a former member of Winston Salem State University's cheerleading squad that identifies the composer of the cheer "Rock":
-From http://ucdecheerphi.wixsite.com/ucde/cheer-phi-chronicles "WSSU’s Original Cheer Phi" by Wannette Stevens -Fripp, September 2011
"During my junior year the location of the CIAA cheerleading exhibition was not the only changes to our program. The coach that had coached WSSU for 17 years Deborah Rivers had relocated due to her job. DeMonte Cox the creator of the chant “Rock” became our coach and the legacy lived on and I was so happy! DeMonte was an excellent coach. He was so creative. He helped us make up dances, and cheers and chants. He brought stunting ideas and kept us at the top of the cheer tier. Most importantly DeMonte did not show favoritism and didn’t get involved with a lot of the petty arguments"...
-snip-
Italics added to highlight this information.

Online articles indicate that Deborah Rivers was the WSSU cheerleading coach from 1976 to 1993.

Here's a comment that was posted in the discussion thread for  Shaw University Cheerleaders performing at 2011 Pep Rally. part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agGZmZj6-DM (given as Video #3, comment #9 below)

"I will say this....the "Rock" cheer was made up in 1994 by my Cheer-Phi Brother "Jamming-Ra" / roommate whom I watched from start to finish with the words and moves as part of our requirement to bring back 2 new chants before returning for Cheer Camp...Of course, he showed the chant originality to the squad and they perfected it with the infamous "shirt-shaking" and Rock was born.....AND THAT IS A FACT!"...

The Rock cheer is found at .36-1:04 of this video. Here's my transcription of that cheer:

Cheer caller:
The Chi chi's
are jamming
and we’re too hype
[squad- Hype! Hype!]
We’ll show you how to move
[squad- Hey! Hey!]
And how to rock
Let’s go!

"To clear the air.....the Chi-Chis did not steal "ROCK" from WSSU. A former WSSU cheerleader works for Shaw University and volunteered to teach the girls a cheer in 2011. The cheer taught was "ROCK". The girls had no prior knowledge of "ROCK" being a WSSU cheer."

"+shawcheer This would be interesting to find out which "former WSSU cheerleader" would break rank and teach material to another squad...Possible but hard to believe. Additionally, even though the team may not have had prior knowledge, this is a technology age and I am not 100% sure if I believe the "team" didn't know....Now if they know now, then why continue to do it?"

10. Rashawn Johnson, 2015
"however you put it, EVERY squad in the CIAA or better yet, CHEERLEADING period has done nothing but recycle and rotate cheers. There are cheers that every squad does from Cheer-phi, to the Woo Woo's, Luv-A-Bulls, Bluechips etc, the not ONE member from any year, of any squad made up. i mean really?,"ROCK" is one of the most general cheers out there, ANYBODY could make it work which is why copy-writes dont exist for this or any cheer. I mean cheer-phi is creative but lets not make them look like grand originators. All this STEALING mess for any of the squads is played, its just a matter of who looks better doing it is all."

11. CheerPhi93, 2015
"Rashawn Johnson....When it comes to Rock...it is and still is authentic by the person I know and watched who made it. You can view my videos from early 90s and see the evidence. I will not debate about whether or not cheers/chants are recycled throughout the sport. That is an implied fact. No one is making Cheer-Phi/WSSU Red Squad/ or in my day WSSU Varsity look grander than the next. You are correct, when you say all this stealing is played. Maybe, folk should be creative enough to make up their material from scratch and then the argument/debates will be mitigated. Until then, the issue will continue to surface. Whether you put Rock on any other squad from here to yonder, the comments will always come back as "Stolen from WSSU"...That is not being grander, that is just stating a fact. In addition, if Rock is played, why does it seem like it is one of the most stolen piece of material in the CIAA by various schools, particular the Southern part of the CIAA? Why the squad you are defending doing it? Lastly, please name One or more chants/cheers that WSSU have stolen from anyone else? If you can't, then your argument doesn't carry much value."

12. Rashawn Johnson, 2015
""Take is Easy..Take it slow come on mighty _ lets go go go", does Cheer-phi not do that cheer?, theres a video that says they do. my point is this, EVERY squad does cheers that the next one does, im almost 110% sure that Cheer-Phi didnt make that cheer up. So is it safe to say that WSSU stole that cheer from some pop warner squad from back in the 70's or 80's?, or how about "Pump It Up"?, i cant name a squad INCLUDING cheer-phi that doesnt do that cheer. I promise you if someone were to say that cheer-phi stole those cheers, the next platform youd probably stand on would be along the lines of "well the moves are different". Lastly all i said about "Rock" was that it was a GENERAL cheer with no ties to any squad, not that it was played. So in the end, what good does it do to say that one squad stole from the other if every squad is at guilt for it?"

"Rashawn...take it easy...take it slow...yes you named "one" general chant..OK....yes, I will give you credit for that....we all know those types of chants/cheer can stretch across multiple cheering groups (pop warner-ACC-NCA)....We all know go this, rah-rah, ,defense/offense this or that, hip hip hooray cheer/chants are universal for decades....OK...point taken....BUT when the "SIGNATURE" cheers/chants are taken then again the debate will continue....that is the good! Especially when it is taken and used when two teams meet up or a team post it and wonder why the original team gets bent out of shape....Something similar to what Robin Thicke/Pharrell is going through over "blurred lines" and Marvin Gaye's track....similar material different artist; however, our material isn't copy written is all I am saying!"

"Why under every HBCU Cheer videos I look at , I see WSSU Fans claiming they stole their cheer. Like damn, can y'all let other squads have their shine... And tbh, all hbcu CIAA Cheer squads look the same to me VSU,WSSU,BSU,SU and etc. I think the way CIAA Cheerleaders cheer is just a tradition, like a style. Just like HBCUs Dance teams dance the same... Its Just A HBCU Tradition"

   "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"

   Here's a comment exchange about stomp & shake cheerleading squads "stealing" certain movements:
   From the discussion thread for https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGhYOaGfK4M "SASSY (Roll All Over)" published by woowooworkit, Published on Feb 3, 2007
   (Note that it is generally acknowledged that the Virginia high school cheerleading squad "Sassy" (from Prince George County High School, Virginia) are taught or otherwise have permission to use Virginia State University (VSU)'s Woo Woo cheerleader cheers/ "Sassys are said to perform like "young Woo Woos".

   "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. :
   
   But the girls did what they did beautifully. I loved the execution, but I hated the cheer.

   "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.

   "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.

   "@grammerpolise actually the[y] stole it from strikers allstars who stole it from school days who stole it from traditional stepping."
   -snip-
   "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
   
   The words "traditional stepping" in that comment refers to historically Black Greek letter fraternity and sorority stepping.
