I finally saw this show last night and it was the epsiode where the coach talked about New Rochelle High School in NY! That's 2 towns down from me!
New Rochelle is a huge school - about 3000 kids! It is extremely racially diverse (as you could see from the squad!), but it made me wonder about the costs associated as well. Broad generalzation here, but generally the non-white families in New Rochelle are the less affluent ones, so I'd be interested in how many have had training or if they just have a good feeder program from the junior highs. High level competitive cheer is NOT the norm up here obviously. I never hear about all-star gyms or anything.
Also, I loved how the New Rochelle caoch was talking about the northern girls having a "different" style and then showed their dance moves - which were way more suggestive than Dunbar's.
