The main difference between cheerleading and dancing is that cheerleading can be classified as a sport whereas dance is an art form..
specifically competitive cheer, the tempo is pretty much the same and all the movements are sharp/staccato. for this reason dance imo is more demanding on the body and the mind. (i still think cheer is way harsher on the body ) dance requires you to be able to distinguish between dynamics and when to use them..
It can range from chanting slogans to intense physical activity.
It can be performed to motivate sports teams, to entertain the audience, or for competition.
Cheerleading routines typically range anywhere from one to three minutes, and contain components of tumbling, dance, jumps, cheers, and stunting..
The focus in this dance genre is on lines, formations, cheerleading jumps, sharp staccato arm movements and form.

To cheeris to shout out words or phrases that may help motivate and boost the morale of a playing team and perform better during a game.
Dance, on the other hand, is a physical activity where one expresses emotions or gestures while performing bodily movements usually in time with rhythm..
Dance routines have much more variation in the range of motion and can be soft, flowy, smooth and sharp all at the same time.

While each has their own unique differences, they are built upon similar basic moves and actions
For those who wish to excel in the competitive sport of Cheer Dance, they will first need to learn the fundamentals of Cheerleading
Cheerleading has been in America since the 1880s
Cheering is an activity that involves chants of encouragement for a team. Dance is sometimes associated with a sporting event, while it is also found as its own separate activity. Cheerleading is overwhelmingly considered a female dominated sport, while dance is comprised of both men and women to a large degree.
Cheerleading and dance are similar enough and generally are composed of like movements and choreography so that many people believe that they are interchangeable, and in fact, I would call the cheerleaders you see performing for professional NRL and NBL teams, dancers with pom poms, but ultimately the purpose of both activities is different.
