This episode aired in 2006 in Season I of Hannah Montana.

The "Slide And Slide & Do The Butterfly"cheer is found at ,12-.22 in this video. 

Notice that Miley Cyrus (The star of the Hannah Montana television series) doesn't do Dancehall Reggae "Butterfly" dance the way it is performed in Jamaica. Instead, when she chanted the words “do the butterfly”,  Miley crossed her hands slightly below her chin, and wiggled her fingers. She then slightly bent both knees and moved up and down to the rhythm.  At the end of this cheer, Miley(purposely for that episode) akwardly atempts to do a gymnastic leg lift.

This is Part I of a two part pancocojams series on the children's cheerleader cheer "Slide And Slide & Do The Butterfly".

This post showcases five YouTube videos of girls performing the "Slide And Slide & Do The Butterfly"cheer.

Click https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2022/05/slide-slide-and-do-butterfly-childrens.html for Part II of this pancocojams series. That post presents the short (standard) form of the "Slide And Slide & Do The Butterfly"cheer and presents partial lyrics of the 1994 Hip Hop song "The Tootsie Roll" which served as the source of that cheer. Part II also presents examples of longer forms of the "Slide And Slide & Do The Butterfly".

My analysis of the text and performance activity of these cheers is also included in this post.
