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

Cheer dance and cheerleading during break time—often considered one of the highlights of watching sports.

In recent years, more children have been taking up cheer dance as an extracurricular activity.

By the way, did you know that cheerleading focuses mainly on acrobatic moves, while cheer dance emphasizes striking choreography without those acrobatic elements?

Despite their differences, both pair well with upbeat, bright songs.

So this time, we’ve picked out a number of classics with that kind of vibe.

They’re also great as party tunes, so be sure to check them out to the end.

Around the time Lady Gaga released “Bad Romance” and Jay-Z and Alicia Keys put out “Empire State of Mind,” the then-unknown newcomer Kesha clawed her way into the Billboard Top 5 with the smash hit “TiK ToK.” Her drunk-sounding rap style struck a chord with trend-chasing partygoers, catapulting her to stardom as a wild, rule-breaking singer.

The sparkling pop sheen of “TiK ToK” combined with its thumping, bass-heavy EDM feel seems to have had a major influence on the next decade of music trends.

Lauren Daigle is a hugely popular female singer in the genre known as Christian pop, which incorporates religious elements.

Known for her low, husky voice, she releases everything from orthodox Christian pop to tracks that verge on dance music.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is These Are The Days.

Wrapped in a bluesy tone, the track isn’t particularly fast in tempo, but its hot vibes are defined by a groovy drum-and-bass foundation and powerful, full-throttle backing vocals.

It would pair exceptionally well with cheerleading that showcases big, high-impact stunts.

Lip GlossLil Mama

This is “Lip Gloss,” a signature track by Lil Mama, who grew up in the birthplace of hip-hop—Brooklyn, New York.

The track features nothing but heavy stomps and handclaps, which perfectly spotlight Lil Mama’s energetic rap.

There aren’t many artists who can captivate listeners this much with rap alone, without chords or harmonies.

Cheer performances thrive on toughness and high spirits—this song has both! It’s a perfect pick to boost athletes’ morale.

Hands To MyselfSelena Gomez

Selena Gomez, the former Disney Channel star with an adorably round face.

As she’s gotten older, her music has become more mature and includes more sensual tracks.

This one is her 2016 release, “Hands To Myself.” With its whispery vocals and minimal beat-making, it has a mysterious vibe.

In the chorus, she fully showcases her proud vocals, and from there the song really starts to build.

It’s a dynamic track with clear contrasts between soft and intense parts.

When choreographing cheer routines, why not keep that contrast between stillness and movement in mind?

Me & My GirlsFifth Harmony

An upbeat dance tune bursting with girl power! Fifth Harmony’s songs are appealing for their bright lyrics that celebrate fun times with friends.

Featured on their 2013 debut EP, Better Together, this track stands out with a unique sound that fuses teen pop and trap beats.

It gained massive popularity among younger audiences, with its music video premiering on Disney Channel.

Their live performances on popular shows like the Today Show also drew attention.

It’s a perfect pick for anyone who values girl-to-girl friendship or wants to hype up a party.

Bebe Rexha is one of the most prominent female singers in today’s dance music scene.

If you follow the dance scene, you’ve probably heard her tracks all the time.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend as BGM for cheer dance and cheerleading is “If Only I.” It blends tropical house and electronic elements, maintaining a high level of energy throughout.

Since it doesn’t have much dynamic contrast, I think it’s better suited for cheer dance.

Bebe Rexha is a singer who’s gained popularity in the dance music scene.

She originally served as the vocalist for Black Cards, a band formed by Pete Wentz—who was the bassist for the globally popular band Fall Out Boy—and she excelled at a rock-style vocal approach.

After going solo, she shifted to an electro-focused sound and has produced many hit songs.

Her track “Sacrifice” is one of her standout songs, exuding a highly stylish vibe.
