Cheerleading has no borders

The Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders, arguably the most famous in the world, said different cultures and nationalities enhance their chosen field of entertainment.

"I've seen some Chinese basketball cheerleaders perform and when we watched them it just looked like what we do," Nicole Hamilton, leader of the Cowboys cheerleaders and an ambassador of American Airlines (AA), told China Daily during the launch of the airline's second China route to Chicago - this one from Beijing.

"They were awesome, detail-oriented performers. They were really good with hip-hop and we were impressed. I didn't say much, I just showed them some things and they got it very quickly."
