Dandori musume (2006)

It's a heartwarming comedy depicting the everyday lives and tender feelings of girl high school students, including their smiles and tears and determined spirit. Cheer dancing is a type of cheerleading performance that includes various dance elements. Acrobatic movements are forbidden. What's important is a good sense of choreography, expressive power and, above all, a good team spirit. The story focuses on a cheerleading club who are considered to be leading contenders. It's only the team of Kaname Aikawa that's lacking in experienced performers with a good sense of rhythm. They fail to qualify in the first competition they appear in. It was the worst performance in the history of the school's dance drill club. However, that defeat acts as the impetus for them to increase their practice time and leads to a major change for all of them.
