The Importance of Facials

Here at Varsity we spend a lot of time working on your body- conditioning, training to do new skills, increasing flexibility – all to make you a stronger cheerleader and cheer dancer. But even if the body is doing everything perfectly, we can’t forget the most important part of a performance – FACIALS! The smiles on your faces and the attitude to match your dance moves show the audience you’re having fun! And when you’re having fun, the audience has fun!

How to Improve Your Facials

To improve your facials here are a few tips:

1. Sit in front of a mirror and make faces at yourself! You may feel silly but I guarantee you’ll smile!

2. Practice saying your English vowels – A, E, I, O, U

3. Sing along to your favorite song! Act like you’re performing onstage!

4. Video tape yourself! See what you look like!
