[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.

Martin Garrix, the Dutch producer who’s hugely popular in Japan as well.

If you often go to clubs or love dance music, you’ve probably heard his tracks many times.

Among his songs, the one I especially recommend for cheer dance and cheerleading is Real Love.

It’s a smooth track characterized by expressive vocals and electro house with strong pop elements.

It pairs exceptionally well with cheer dance, which often features fresh, upbeat choreography.

Britney Spears, who reigns as a global pop star with her cute looks and sexy vocals.

Many people in Japan must have been captivated by her, too.

This is her 2013 track “Work B**ch.” Reading the lyrics might make you chuckle at how straightforward they are.

If you want something, you’ve got to put in the effort—work for it.

It’s the perfect song to play when you know that but just can’t get motivated.

Britney will give you a thorough scolding!

Doesn’t this quintessentially hip-hop sound ring a bell? This is “Look At Me Now,” a track released in 2011 by R&B singer Chris Brown.

It features hugely popular rappers Lil Wayne and Busta Rhymes, and it won Best Collaboration at the 2011 BET Awards.

Every element—the beat, the rapping, the arrangement—is seriously cool, but the standout is Busta Rhymes’s verse.

He raps at such an incredible speed that you might worry whether he’s even taking a breath.

Definitely give it a listen!

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.
