These Celebrities Were All Cheerleaders Before Making It Big

Jenna Dewan

Jenna Dewan is known to be a dancing superstar thanks to her movie Step Up starring herself and Channing Tatum. Before she was in that franchise though, she was a cheer queen in Texas. She fell in love with the physicality of the dance parts and continued to pursue it. She eventually got her big break while dancing backup for Janet Jackson in 2001.

Lindsey Lohan

After her childhood star status, Lindsay went to a normal high school in Long Island, NY. She attended both Cold Spring Harbor High School and Sanford H. Calhoun High School, attempting a cheer team at both schools before switching to exclusively home education.
