weight training help with dancing?

[Morsebi]

I like to dance, and my goal is to one day become a NFL cheerleader. I have been working hard at it since i was 8 years old and did it in college. our coach would make us do a lot of running, aerobics and some weight training but we never really focused on it. do you think weight training will help me with my dancing goals?

some weight training yes. cheerleaders do train with some weights. its more of a mix of aerobics, cardio, running, and weights.

It certainly can help, as it will add strength and endurance.
