Cheerleading originated in Britain and spread to the United States where it remains most popular. It involves short routines combining dance, gymnastics and stunts to cheer on sports teams. Lawrence "Herkie" Herkimer is considered a legend in cheerleading for founding the National Cheerleaders Association and developing popular routines and equipment like pom-poms still used today.
