Did You Know These Stars Were On Their High School Cheer Squads?

Jenna Dewan

Step Up propelled Jenna Dewan into the world of professional dance, but she can thank her cheerleading days for her moves. She loved the intense physicality of cheer's dance elements and decided to pursue it as a career. She was scouted while dancing backup for Janet Jackson in 2001.

Lindsey Lohan

Lindsay Lohan is one of America's favorite child stars. She went to a normal high school in Long Island, New York, and she cheered at both Cold Spring Harbor High School and Sanford H. Calhoun High School. However, she did eventually decide to switch to exclusively homeschooling as her career was picking up.
