While picking cheer music make sure that you make the most of all beats and lyrics. Certain music can really add zing to your moves. For example, while making the pyramid you can use "the Climb" or "We got the Party With us". For your final dance you can use "So Bring it on". The key is to use the lyrics to your advantage. A slow song can play when you are getting ready for the main act like the pyramid and once it is done or during it you can play a upbeat song. For your jumps and tosses, choose songs with strong beats so that every time you hit the floor, a drum beat or something is heard.

So this was all on cheerleading songs, remember to use the music to your advantage. It is more than just a background from your moves. Good cheerleader songs can enhance and bring out your moves. This way the impact of the move also gets amplified. Till then have fun and cheer hard!
