It won championships in 1995 and 1997 in the National Cheerleading Association College Cheerleading Championships. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The current team hopes to continue that legacy. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MDC Shark Spirit currently hold its practices at the Magic City All-Star Cheer gymnasium, located on 12122 S.W. 131st Ave. The cheer team practices on Mondays and Wednesdays from 9 to 11 p.m.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They train on a range of techniques such as jumps, flips, tumbling, dance routines and so on. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the majority of the club is made of members who have had prior experience in cheerleading, the club is open to everyone even if they have no prior experience. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThey welcomed me. They didn\u2019t judge me. They made me feel part of the team and they were embracing me,\u201d said the team\u2019s vice president Stephanny Ordaz about her experience trying out for the team two years ago. \u201cIf we see that you actually want to learn, we will give and devote our time to you. We will help you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To join the club, the only requirement is to be taking six credits per semester. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The biggest difference between this iteration of the cheer club and the one in the late 90s is that this version is under the Student Life Department as opposed to the Athletics Department. This means that, according to Kendall Campus Student Life Director Lauren Adamo, it may not be possible to compete in cheer competitions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cMDC really only allows for academic competition travel, there\u2019s really not athletic or intramural travel that\u2019s permissible [for clubs],\u201d Adamo said. \u201cBecause they are still a club, I don\u2019t think that we would be able to support them.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite this, Castillo has been in discussions with the College to hopefully be allowed to participate in competitions. The team recently acquired a bronze bid to be in this year\u2019s National Cheerleaders Association competition. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information about the Cheer &amp; Dance team at Kendall Campus, contact them through Sharknet at <a href=\"https:\/\/sharknet.mdc.edu\/organization\/mdcsharkspirit\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">https:\/\/sharknet.mdc.edu\/organization\/mdcsharkspirit<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the program was revived back in 2012, the Miami Dade College Shark Spirit: Cheer &amp; Dance Team has been injecting school spirit and Shark pride into most MDC sanctioned events at Kendall Campus.
