Songleading Club Introduction
profile
Team Name: 'CREAM'
We bring together members who love dancing regardless of experience, and we value teamwork! Our style is to focus not only on dance and technique skills but also on expressiveness and how we present ourselves.
With the motto 'Never forget compassion and gratitude,' we train hard every day, aiming to build a team we can be proud of and deliver performances that express gratitude to those who support us.
Mainly competed in competitions, competing in both the JAZZ and POM divisions.
In 2005, I won my first USA National (domestic competition), and from 2008, I was recommended to The Dance Worlds, finally achieving my long-awaited first world championship victory in 2012. Additionally, I was selected five times as Japan's representative (Performance Cheer Jazz) at the ICU World Cheerleading Championships.
In addition, we actively participate in school Events appearances and support activities, and are actively involved outside of competitions as well.
