“Y.M.C.A.” has become a staple cheer song at school events and sports competitions.

The arm-swinging choreography went viral—these days, it feels like there’s hardly anyone who doesn’t know it! With an intro that instantly lifts your spirits, doesn’t it just make you smile? That smiling expression is really important: when your facial muscles naturally lift, your voice comes out more easily, making it much easier to sing! Plus, doing the choreography helps your body relax, which also makes projecting your voice easier.

Above all, the best thing is to just have fun singing it!
