However, after some restrictions were lifted, the team resumed practice at Margaret Pace Park located on Biscayne Bay in late June.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That was a big step for the club because the nature of cheering makes it difficult to hold virtual practices due to the emphasis on synchronization and stunt execution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They have created a semblance of a normal training schedule. Depending on their availability, 19 dancers gather at the park in downtown Miami\u2014usually on Mondays and Tuesdays\u2014to focus on cheering chants and dance moves such as the high V, low V, and broken T.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Wednesdays, the team practices at IDOL cheer gym in Glenvar Heights from 7:30 to 10:30 p.m. They work on more complex movements such as cartwheels, running tucks, lifting stunts and cheerleading dismounts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn the beginning, it was challenging but we have gotten used to practicing in the circumstances we\u2019re in,\u201d said team captain and vice president Jessica Torres. \u201cWe just have to make it work and hope for the best.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The team is taking strict precautions to avoid infections. Performers wear a face mask when practicing stunts that require them to be within six feet of each other. They also apply hand sanitizer between rehearsals.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In addition, if any member of the club shows symptoms of coronavirus, that person must refrain from attending practices and is advised to get tested immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThe most frustrating thing would be that it\u2019s extremely hard to breathe with the masks on during exercises,\u201d Torres said. \u201cWe try our best to have them on to prevent getting sick.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Torres, who started cheering in her sophomore year at Miami Senior High School, saw the sport as an opportunity to boost her confidence and make friends. She wanted others to have the same experience at MDC, but the previous club\u2014known as the Miami Dade College Shark Spirit: Cheer &amp; Dance Team\u2014had last been active in October of 2017.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Cheer and Spirit club was reestablished by President Ailen Milanes and Torres in June of 2019. Since then, the club has performed at several basketball games and pep rallies at Kendall Campus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Among their plans is finding a coach, performing at MDC games, becoming an official MDC team, and participating at national tournaments like the National Cheerleaders Association competition.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight:
