Young athletes got a chance to learn from the professionals with the Penn state Behrend Little Lions Cheer Camp.

The Penn State Behrend Dance team taught cheer leaders different exercises, routines, a pep cheer, and dances with a clinic on Saturday. This was the first year for the event that took place in Erie Hall at Penn State Behrend and they had ten young girls join in on the fun.

Organizers said they wanted to get more young people interested in the dance world.

Saturday's attendees will have the chance to perform at halftime during the women's game this coming Wednesday.
