[Latest & Classic Hits] Crowd-Pleasers! Top Western Songs Recommended for Cheer Dance

Mr RightMae Stephens, Meghan Trainor

Mae Stephens, Meghan Trainor – Mr Right (Lyric Video)

Meghan Trainor is an American singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her musical style that translates doo-wop—a genre that was popular in the 1950s—into modern dance music.

Many of her songs are bright and cute.

Among them, the one I especially recommend for cheer dance is Mr.

Right.

It’s a collaboration with Mae Stephens, a British singer currently attracting worldwide attention, and while it has a calm atmosphere, it’s crafted with a groovy, upbeat feel.

Although it may not pair well with high-intensity cheerleading featuring lots of vigorous movement, it’s an excellent match for cheer dance that emphasizes expressive performance.

A dance-pop song released in 2015.

It’s also featured as a soundtrack song in the Disney movie Descendants.

The lyrics capture both a girl’s cute side and her cunning side.

Being a good girl feels a bit awkward, and she kind of wants to act tough.

She’s wondering which one is cooler and which choice would make her happier.

This track, which grabs listeners’ attention at once with its buzzer-like intro sound, is “In The Ayer,” a collaboration between hugely popular rappers Flo Rida and will.

i.

am.

It’s a song where Flo Rida truly shows his strengths as a rapper.

He raps fast, but his enunciation is excellent, he’s got great momentum, and you can really feel the groove.

It’s a sexy, intense number, so I’d love to see it performed with acrobatic, flashy choreography!

Although he sadly passed away in 2018, Avicii is still a globally popular music producer, and this is one of his tracks.

It was released in 2015 and became a hit.

It’s EDM, yet it features a beautiful piano tone, making it a somewhat mysterious song.

The arrangement carries a touch of melancholy.

If you use it as BGM for a cheer dance, incorporating elegant choreography would likely work well.
