Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

1. Have fun in everything you do. Be enthusiastic, positive, optimistic, happy and outgoing. Cheetah Girls are never pessimistic, introverted or down on themselves or others.
2. Learn to sing and dance. Take music lessons, write song lyrics. Perform pop songs geared to the teenage crowd.
3. Incorporate the word "cheetah" into your vocabulary. Use words like "Cheetah-licious" and "Cheetah-ful." Have a feel-good cheer such as the one the Cheetah Girls use: "One, two, three, Cheetah Power!"
4. Form a close friendship with other girls who share your love of the Cheetah Girls. Be a great friend. Help each other solve problems and support each other. Always work together with your Cheetah Girl friends.
5. Wear long, dangling earrings. Hoop earrings are especially a favorite of the Cheetah Girls.
6. Accessorize with cheetah spots. Wear cheetah-print clothing, carry cheetah-print handbags and travel with cheetah-print suitcases. If you're going to act Cheetah, be Cheetah!
7. Dress conservatively. While they do on occasion wear short skirts, they often wear tights underneath them and rarely ever wear low-cut tops or "belly shirts." Dress appropriately. Do not be flirtatious or suggestive.
