The Cheerleaders: Teams
built 253 days ago
The Cheerleaders is not exactly the kind of movie one watches for a lot of plot. Young Jeannie (Stephanie Fondue) is an ugly duckling who joins the cheerleading squad in the desperate hopes of losing her virginity. Team captain Claudia (Denise Dillaway) makes a bet that she can keep her new charge from "making it" for the entire season. Meanwhile, the rest of the squad carries on exuberant sex in all sorts of teen fantasy settings, from the car wash to the drive-in. When it comes time for the big game, the cheerleaders face their greatest challenge of all: can they…err, sap the strength of the opposing team and chalk up the big one for good old Amoroso High?

The cheerleaders rehearse 3-4 nights a week for 3-4 hours a night all year long. All rehearsals are mandatory. In addition to performing at all Miami Dolphins home games, the cheerleaders appear at special events, grand openings, corporate meetings, conventions, trade shows, state and county fairs, other sporting events and many other promotional functions. They ... have a travel squad consisting of 10-12 selected ladies who are a part of the Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders “Show Team”. The “Show Team” has traveled throughout the United States and across the globe performing their 30-minute “Broadway Style” show. The show consists of singing, dancing, audience participation and costumed stage production numbers. The “Show Team” appearances have included: Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, MTV Music Video Awards, Austria, Japan, Mexico City, visiting troops in the Middle East, Cayman Islands, Monte Carlo, France, Canada, and the Bahamas

The DVD cover boasts that The Swinging Cheerleaders is "one of the '70s most subversive and surprising drive-in favorites," but that's mostly hyperbole--as Hill himself admits on the DVD's audio commentary track. Much of the feminism angle, for example, begins to evaporate as soon as Johnston makes the cheerleader squad: she lets the football team's star quarterback grope her under the table at a restaurant while she grins like a Cheshire cat. She loves being a cheerleader. The movie's most subversive element is the way it exposes the campus radical as a sexist jerk who even initiates the gang bang of a cheerleader.

Though the football game is why they came, many of the Shenendehowa Plainsmen fans stay for the Junior Varsity (JV) cheerleaders despite the bitter cold. Fans wonder how the girls can stand the weather in their small green and white uniforms. When the group in front of the stands starts their routine, filled with gymnastics and difficult choreography, the audience forgets about the cold as they are being mesmerized by the girls being hurled into the air in front of them. These kinds of routines performed at school games won the Shen JV cheerleaders first place, and a rather large trophy, at the Ultimate Cheer Fest at Hudson Valley Community College held on January 27th. Both the JV and Varsity teams won top honors their respected divisions.

Cheerleaders in upstate New York are begrudgingly following a new policy laid down after a parent filed a discrimination suit with the US Department of Education under Title IX. Their tragic fate? Having to cheer for the girls' basketball team.

As a guardian of the cheerleaders since 1991, Finglass has been instrumental in creating an institution that is "often imitated but never equaled." In 1993, she produced the first swimsuit calendar video which is distributed nationally for both television and home video audiences. She has ... created and refined programs for the organization such as DCC Dance & Drill Team Competitions, Camp DCC, Cheers for Years and Cheers for Fitness. Her skillful tutelage and direction of the DCC show group has resulted in a highly acclaimed and sought after entertainment group with corporate clients that have included Sports Illustrated, JCPenney and American Airlines. For the past two years, in addition to her formidable responsibilities as the DCC director, she has served as an executive producer for CMT's hit series Making the Team, which has documented the rigorous transformation of each cheerleader during their 12 week training camp.
