The sport of cheerleading is characterized by loud, pumping music that can jar the senses and certainly sets the adrenalin of the cheerleading team going. There is no comparable type of music in any physical activity, including dance and modern circuses such as Cirque du Soleil. But that is not to say that all
cheerleading music is the same. In fact it varies greatly in quality, with the worst being truly deafening and the songs barely audible. A good cheer mix, on the other hand, is a pleasure to listen to and complements the physical dance, tumble and stunt moves of the squad admirably.
