The History of Stomp-N-Shake
The history of “Stomp-N-Shake” dates back to the early 1940’s and was created by two neighboring states; one being right here in North Carolina and the other Virginia.
“Stomp-N-Shake” cheerleading incorporates traditional motions that are clean and sharp, which showcase a team’s ability, skill, & technique. The Stomp-N-Shake style then comes into play comprising of several added key ingredients: rhythmic words, use of beats made by stomping, clapping, & snapping, a variety of head motions, hip hop & jazz dance, stunts, tumbling, big, sharp, and precise arm motions, constant movement changes in formation, tone, and facial expressions.
Stomp-N-Shake cheerleading routines tell a story about time, place, or thing. It allows the crowd to understand and witness what teams are capable of and how their particular style is done. The awesome thing about Stomp-N-Shake is that there is no one set style; there are a variety of styles in this field of cheerleading. Crowds across the nation in particular, the southeast, love to see teams perform the Stomp-N-Shake style. This style is known to be performed by amateur leagues, middle & high schools, and collegiate teams. The Stomp-N-Shake style leads the world of cheerleading in crowd participation and creative-cultural entertainment.
